If you mean is it illegal to take a hard drive from a scrap yard- it may be. The scrap in the scrap yard belongs to the scrap yard- like everything else there. Taking the property of someone else is called theft. However, it the operator of the scrap yard sells or gives the hard drive to you, you should be OK.
The types of things that can be found in a scrap yard depend on the type of scrap yard it is. Many scrap yards deal with just automotive scrap so one would find spare parts for cars there. Other scrap yards deal with just metals such as copper.

A scrap yard works by opening the yard for people to drop off metal items. The person is paid per pound. The scrap yard hauls the metal to a different location and receives more money per pound.
The price of scrap metal changes often. Contact your local scrap yard for current prices.
Scrap steel and iron gets about .10c per hundred weight, so not a whole lot.
Brass prices right now are just over $1 a pound. If you are selling scrap you will get a little less as the scrap yard needs to make a profit too.
You could dumpster dive, check out flea markets and yard sales, buy the scrap from a company that uses bronze, or buy it from a scrap yard, or from a million sources online.
After removing the pastic side pieces, the radiator weighed 9 pounds. I took it to a scrap yard and got a wopping $2.25. So for me it was 25 cents per pound.
