hmm didn't know that...so then it goes for shred prices then I am assuming...in that case will scrap that as well.

Sliding the yoke off the neck of the tube. I usually take the yoke after removal, and set it on some concrete and hit it with a hammer(use eye protection) and the ferrite the copper is wrapped around will break or shatter.
Throw the ferrite in the steel bucket. Copper goes as #2 clean.(the reason for it being #2 is because it's varnished)

It's an honest question. I dont know what it sold for, didn't even know it could be sold. Thought the only thing worth cash, was the #2 copper.

Now I will save it all.

It's funny, ever since I really started doing this my kids have wanted to help Daddy. So my son gets to take apart the CD/DVD/floppy drives and crush the aluminum cans. He gets to keep the aluminum can money. My daughter loves taking apart the keyboards. She can't wait until we have a full box of the plastic sheets with silver trace - she gets to keep that money. There's nothing like seeing the two of them on the living room floor, each with a little cordless drill, taking stuff apart. There's no arguing. I did have to buy a second little cordless screwgun.

Who do you sell the keyboard sheetz too? I have a whole box of them. Along with like 5 or 6 printers...so lazy sometimes.

Gravy, you make money by not throwing recyclable stuff away. It all adds up.

The intention is good, no doubt. But when you consider how much you can make from one yolk, too much time is spent on it. You are loosing time and money that could be spent on other things. Thanks for the video though.

Guys, no need to be harsh. Constructive criticism is good, but be respectful.

It's all good Sircrapalot. The had good intentions and we don't want to discourage him from future postings. He just might put something up we can use. You never know, he might have helped out a newby on how to remove copper from yoke who is not I to breaking a thing. Personally, I remove the copper much quicker without breaking stuff up from experience. But if I was new, it might have helped back then.
