    With any process there are two ways to increase your output. One is to increase your input, which it seems you are focused on. The other way to increase output is to increase the efficiency of your operation. Search the old posts for tips on how to do this. If you aren't yet separating non-ferrous materials from you tin/shred, you should start. You should be able to easily cull 10 to 20 lbs of aluminum and maybe 5 to 10 lbs of insulated wire from a load of shred. Start with this and the rest will follow.
