    You'll also likely have multiple toner tanks, and lots of plastic. The main boards on ones I've done was easy to access, but lots of the motors take a bit of digging
    Well the guy already said they are mine for free, and he has some other guy that comes and picks them up for free and removal is free kind of lame actually. I asked the guy if I could charge him he said no. But he did say they have a fork lift that would load them, which is good, but I am going to need a trailer and a lot of space case I think I want to tear them apart. Staples will take toner cartridges for $2 a piece that is how I get rid of all of what I had already. I just hope they dont take the boards out or anything else of greater value. I can only get .03 cents for them whole right now, I think I want more than .03 cents a pound!

    I called them toner tanks(similar to a lawn mower gas tank) because I wasn't sure what else to call them. They're "not" cartridges.
    Some use liquid toner too, in a "spillable" tub, instead of powder
