The question is how much of your time do you sacrifice for $0.30 ? I know sorted & graded nuts and bolts are worth a lot more per /lb, but that takes a lot of time.
Me personally, I do not go 'scrap crazy' if it takes too much time. I'm not going to spend several hours to recover a few cents worth of scrap. I only have a limited amount of time left in this life.
