    The shred accumulation issue is one of the main reasons I purchased a 16 ft flatbed trailer. As I process the shred, I store it on the flatbed. When it gets full, then I take it into the scrap yard.

    Unfortunately, the yards around me will not take them, even if they have no PCB's. I tried taking one apart, and they are definitely NOT worth the effort.

    I do the curbco thing, but only if I happen to see something while I am on my way to some other place. I don't intentionally drive a route looking for stuff, it is too random.
