Ferrite can be scrapped? Why do you put it in the trash?

Some scrap yards buy them. You just have to check with them. And you should get pay as steel price. I'm lucky my scrap yard buys almost everything.

Just want to encourage those watching this thinking of breaking down some tvs. Please weather you remove the yolk clips and pull off or just bash off with a hammer be careful and get the cover back on for your own safety.
