Do you sort scrap to maximize or just throw everything together?

That sums it up nicely!

But I do take almost everything apart at least once, to check it out. If it wasn't worth the time, I don't do it again.

Some items go either way...like the lawn mower example, if I can get the engine off in a couple minutes, I do it. If everything is stripped and rusted and nothing moves, it goes in the shred as is.
