I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 scrapped hard drive carcasses. I’ve been wanting to try melting them down for several years, but now, I just want them out of my way. There are some “bits” left of drive motors or such, but mostly, they’re clean. Probably some $ in scrap if you want to go that route.
Also, including the removed circuit boards.

bag o’boards
Let me know if this is something you can use, we’ll figure out to get it there.
