Salvaging key leads

[Clyde Hollinger]

I wish I had thought of this before sending two old uprights to their
graves.  Do the rest of you do this, too?  How important is it to the
future health of the planet?  Rather than tapping them out, would it be
easier for those of us who have trash barrels to just burn the keys and
then gather up the remaining leads?

Regards,
Clyde
