When the item makes it to the shredder they make money on plastic and other fluff they process. I used to break down every thing as far as I could, but then prices fell and it is not worth it for me to break down a vacuum cleaner in order to get a motor that may be worth only worth $.05 - $.15 a pound for it. Breaking down scrap is fun to do, relaxing and a excuse to drink a few beverages while you do it!
