I have not done much with aluminum or copper scrap in my short time of part-time metal scrapping. I did have a large load of all aluminum (dirty) last week.
Yesterday while in line for my copper wire, a lady that had a bunch more copper and aluminum than me, told me to just go ahead of her since I had so little. She then proceeded to separate it for me, told me the differences in copper grades. I notice she had an electric motor. I had just scale scrapped one (threw it off the truck with the rest of the metal) because I didn’t know you can get more for them by themselves. I had a small load of general scrap that day and I got a substantial amount more $ than if I had not talked to her.
