Firstly disposal.

I have some memory that if you were to chuck away an
electrical appliance you should first cut the plug off.

I cut the cable off as close to the appliance as possible.

Thats completely stupid if the appliance isnt dangerous.

I then remove the plug unscrewing the individual conductors
and keep the cable , normally keep the plug too and put them
in a safe places where I can't find them when needed ;-)

Makes no sense to remove the plug if you are keeping both.

However a cut off moulded plug itself seems dodgy
as it could be plugged in and have a live connection.

Take the fuse out helps but kitkat wrapper.

yes again take the fuse out and store it for later use.

No point in taking it out if you are keeping everything except the
appliance.
