No. Only capacitors I would remove would be those known to contain tantalum, which is a rare metal used in more sophisticated electronics such as telecom gear.
so where do you sell the capacitors with the tantalum ? AND what's market price on them?
Currently the market price ranges from $20 per pound to $75 per pound for ones with silver ( not color but Ag) casing. However, it is a very long road to collect just one pound of even epoxy coated( probably the heaviest) tantalum caps unless you have access to NOS, discontinued or similar avenues. For buyers I would Google "sell tantalum capacitor scrap".
