do you clean up lower quality tv yokes??

I'm also wondering this. I have 2-3 pounds of copper in yokes that have glue and glass still stuck to them. I cant get myself to just sell them as is, and if I did do that I wouldn't know which pile to throw them in. I want to just take a hammer and beat the crap out of them, but I don't know if that will do it, also, I live in an apt. so I try to keep the hammering to a minimum.

try to clean of as much glass as possible
u or sumone else could get cut later on when ur taking it to the yard.

as far as glue/epoxy- a little bit stuck on is OK

I do a lot of TV's. The yokes in your pic I put aside, when it gets cold out I leave them out side a few days. By then epoxy is brittle and I smash with a tamper. Very little effort is needed. Al degassing , my yard lest me put it in with # 2 ins. wire.

Put it in the freezer. Then smash it with a hammer. The glue brakes off quite easy when frozen
