    I figured if I remove all the metal from the plastic boom boxes I'm not going to be able to toss them in the shred pile. then I'm just going to be stuck with a bunch of plastic that's hard to get rid of.

    You could sell the plastic to a company in the state of California that makes straws.

    You never know. Black market straws could become a new lucrative venture for those seeking additional income
