    Aluminum Types and How to Seperate

    How do you guys separate your aluminum ?
    I just went in with a load, aluminum gutters, Automobile fenders, hoods, some heavier aluminum frames, cans, rims, I got my tear weight, and then my gross weight and got paid.
    I did notice while I was unloading the yard guy put the rims in a separate pile, the heavier aluminum frames, it another pile and the balance of the load went into the dumpster.
    All my aluminum was clean no rubber or foam on the hoods, on the frame section I cut off the rubber mounts, no steel fasteners in the parts I dropped.
    I picked up an aluminum ladder yesterday, looked like a truck ran into it, DO I REMOVE ALL THE STELL ITEMS ON THE LADDER ?
    I got the felling I wasted my time cleaning all the parts ??????
    I have no idea if I got paid for clean aluminum or dirty aluminum, they move so fast in the yard I was in it amazed me.
    They did not tell me my tare wt, just dump it over there, and get weighed in again.
    I am new to the scrap world but would like to be a little more educated before I go in.
