Around here (western NC) the county dump takes water heaters and "white 
goods" (major appliances) for free.  Or the scrap metal years PAY about 
$4 - $6 per hundred pounds.  It's ok that it's mixed metals with plastic 
and insulation and stuff.  I think it all goes to some kind of shredding 
plant that also processes junk cars.  They're somehow able to chop it 
into little bits and separate materials.
