its will be worth it in the end- of course, if you dont have much time left to remove it or the distance you travel daily to get to this place is far & it will cost more in fuel, then u can work out for yourself if its worth it.
what i did was i got a lift with my friend - the guy who works at the company where i was given those printers.
he lives near me so i traveled with him the entire week- got there early with the employees & clocked off only when they did- so that way i saved on fuel & put in a full days work for each day i was there
then on the last day i got another friend to come haul everything & i paid him something for that service.
it seemed the most profitable way to do it.
but those printers u have seem much bigger- i would try to completely dismantle at least one- just to see how much of non ferrous in in them altogether so u can judge if its worth the time & effort to strip the rest.
I really wish I had the time to break these down. My property is too far away to make hauling them home worth it. It's a 60 mile round trip to my house and then it will be another 60 mile round trip taking them back to the yard once I break them down. I have been bringing a few items home and I might bring a few more items home this week but most of this has to go strait to the scrap yard.
I am pulling any easy to get brass, copper, wiring, motors, stainless and aluminum but I know I am leaving a lot of that on these machines simply because it won't be easy to get at it.
