    Capactors, are they worth $ in bulk?

    I get a large capacitor out of each microwave & theres quite a few in TVs.

    Most of the time they are a Ali case & they have a very long thin Ali sheet inside along with smelly oil & the steel or copper wire tags & a plastic or paper separator.

    Microwave ones have a steel endcap & a liquid that smells like insect repellent (DEET)
    I'm guessing its similar to DEET as theres a word thats similar to Diethylamine printed on the case.

    I got enough of them, probably 100Kg, could I sell them?

    I'm thinking 'probably not' but I have found a few things that I have thrown out up till now that are worth money (fridge motors!)



    Its just seems a waste as they all get ground into dirt & dumped in waste dumps.
