Your first thought with scrap should always be, "is there a value better than scrap?" If scrap is the best option I simply decide if the time invested is worth it. Some people simply enjoy breaking it down, others break it down because they simply don't have any other scrap to focus on and if breaking it down brings a higher value to it then they might as well do it. If I was looking at a pile of scrap in my yard and had to decide in breaking it down versus grabbing another available load, I'd choose to go get another load. That may not be the best decision but I believe in the power of numbers. Others may look at that same load, and think breaking it down would bring in more money versus the time and expense it takes to go find another load. But I guess most importantly, it all depends on what type of scrap you're dealing with. Some scrap is always worth breaking down/cleaning. I believe working with the right tools makes breaking down worth your time.
