    If you are asking what has to removed to sell them as CBM(copper bearing material) or as electric motors, depending on what your yard calls such items. Then the answer is what ever your yard requires.

    My yard will not buy wallwarts, the power supplies that black box plugs directly into the wall outlet, without first breaking off the plastic case. So its best to take some samples into your yard and ask them just take a few things at a time so as not to be a bother at the scale.

    Lastly take the time and read a lot of the old threads here on the forum and you will get educated quickly Mike.

    p.s. at the bottom of this and all the threads there are suggested threads Mike
    "Profit begins when you buy NOT when you sell." {quote passed down to me from a wise man}

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked

    Most yards I use you don't have to take anything off. I've seen poeple bring in whole cielling fans and i bring in whole power tools just cut the cord off.
