    Yes it depends on your situation. If you own a company and have employees processing your scrap then maybe it's not. Some of us here do this as a hobby or a part time job and don't worry about such things.

    I do this as a hobby, I break all my drives down in the morning as I listen, watch the news before I go to work.

    I'm with you brass: I break them down too.. Siphon off the board, then pull apart the drive.. If I send them in whole like this I get "Dirty Alum" price.. if I break them down I get 2x the amount because I've taken all the "dirty" out of it and I am sending in clean alum to the buyer!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
