    I do like Mech, in the #2 bucket it goes, an my yard has never pitched a fit over it. Their good folks like that.

    That or I'm just so awesome they overlook it cause it's me.

    I know it does not pertain to glass and plastic but I have been going through a lot of monitors lately with the help of some glass disposal at a local dump, they take it willingly so whatever. I de-wire everything and then remove the light iron trays:



    I then remove the transformers, aluminum heat sinks, metal shields, and any goodies with visible copper:



    I end up with bins of broken up board much lighter and thinner, I need to do some more research around the site I remember seeing a thread identifying components. I know what IC chips look like there are the small micro chips and the taller ones with larger fingers that look older, pretty sure I can fill buckets of those and possibly some of these other components, once they are stripped the boards are worth less then light iron and one of my yards takes electronics as light iron so I will toss the stripped boards as light iron hah .12 cents a lb.

    Careful Sirscrapalot, be a shame to scrape your ears in the next doorway opening LOL
