not trying to brag at all, but my yard does. When i first started scrapping they would tell me what to throw off and when and give me the better price (i had 1,500 pounds of tin and they gave me #1 unppd price) Now i just tell them what i have and i throw it off. Ive only got tin price once, when a new guy was working.

I have been informed by my yard. When I was newer to scrapping, I'd have stuff mostly sorted (I thought) and the scale girl would rearrange some stuff or pull and weigh some seperate. She will often explain to others selling, how to sort.

Dumping whole appliances is different. If people don't know to break those down, they probably want to do a one-time drop to get rid of it. Any scrapper collecting appliances and not pulling off the better metal stuff probably just don't give a scrap metalscrap metalscrap metalscrap metal.
