At a bare minimum you should separate the copper and brass that is easily accessible.

Agreed...unless you can get more than shred; some yards pay a flat fee for water heaters. Worth inquiring in your area.

I sell mine to a landlord I know. He gives me 10.00 for non-working or not sure and 20.00 for the ones that work. Better than scrap price and I get to take whatever copper pipe might still be on them. I used to take the good parts and throw the rest in w/scrap. Never calculated the price if I break it all down does anyone know if I'm screwing myself by selling or am I getting a good deal??
