A/c magnet? Wth...that sounds bs to me. If it is non ferrous, then it will not stick. To answer the op q. I throw EVERYTHING in the shred. Including a little garbage, heh, to plastic, to steel. My steel place dont care and I kinda got inspired when I saw they were dumping their office trash in the shred pile. Also sometimes if there is more steel than aluminum, say on a washer transmission, that goes in the shred pile as well. It realyl depends on my mood and if it is worth it to cut apart said item,, or if too time consuming, it goes into the shred.



I really regret it now, but I had like 40 ww1 communications devices. The were steel boxes, with wood encased. The gear being inside. They were too much to rip into, because most of the srews were rotted. So into the shred they went. Took am little coaxing to get the yard to do it, since they had wood around them. But after I mentioned they have possible gold, silver, etc...they were more than happy to take.

Never forget that. Those bastards weighed in at 1825 lbs for 40-5o units. Really makes me wonder what was inside..lol. Just didnt have time or ambition to tear them open, plus storage.
