So I'd guess that no, it can't go in there. But once you remove the circuit board it can go in the garbage, though may be better to go to electronics recycling, as I imagine they save the metal parts, since there is money in that.

Whelp, that is my bad. Usually after disassembling an HDD, since some of the pieces get played with, only random chunks of metal (ie: the piece you pry off the rare earth magnet) get thrown in the blue bin. I didn't realize that the plates and the casing stuff didn't qualify. I just thought it was a piece of metal with no electronic components. I learned something new today.

So that essentially means after reading the link that any random scrap metal (curtain rods etc.) doesn't qualify for the blue bin and the blue bin requests only thin tin and jar lids. I haven't been disposing of that type of stuff in large quantities, but I'm definitely a sinner!
