    New scrapper, couple questions!

    Hello everybody, just joined the site and will now be looking for answers. But while i am looking i might as well ask some questions!

    First of all i am going to start scrapping vehicles. ( i am however not new to vehicles)
    Things my local scrap yard require.
    Remove all fluids such as, oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid ect...
    Remove gas tanks

    These are the things i will be removing and scrapping separately.
    Batteries
    Catalytic Converters
    Alternators
    Starters
    Aluminum Rims
    I will also be removing the tires to make it more prepared.

    So Basically here are my main questions.
    Is there anything else i should take off to scrap separately?
    Is there copper anywhere else i can remove?
    If it has aluminum intake/heads, is it worth it to remove them?
    What else can i take off my vehicle to increase its value (more prepared)
    Should i sell my alternators as is, or take the copper out of them?
    What is actually in my starter? Any copper? Or sell that as a motor?

    Basically any tips for getting the most out of scrapping a car would be awesome!
    Thanks so much!
    Jordan
