For something like an old rotor or drum, or any other part that is pretty much an unusable piece of metal, I take it to a metal scrapyard once it accumulates a bit.
What I'm talking about is a part such as an old starter or alternator that you don't need to return as a core or old injectors that you replaced. Or old coil packs. In my case, the injectors and coil packs weren't bad, but it is obvious that their performance had degraded compared to the new parts. The old starter and alternator will likely never be reused. There's a slight chance I might rebuild the alternator, but no chance I touch the starter.
What do you do with your old parts in scenarios like this? Do you keep them in a box in the corner somewhere or do you just throw them out?
