I was just wondering how people sort/store their scrap metal, I want to perfect my storage/sorting to make it as efficent as possible. So here is how I store mine, and I would love any tips anyone has to provide.

I store my shred in a 8' long 3' wide wooden bin, that I can stack pretty high, and this is in the corner of the garage, I also fill trash cans with smaller shred so I don't have to dig it out of bottom of the bin.

My #1-#2 Copper, And brass is stored in 5 gallon buckets hanging on the wall.

I keep my computer scrap on a utility shelf in shoe boxes for the smaller stuff like: Hard Drives, Power Supplies, Heat Sinks, CPU Chips, And more

I keep my mother boards, and low grade boards in medium size storage totes.



Also my stainless steel, and aluminum is kept in the same size totes

I have about 3 trash cans for plastic/glass/other non scrap items I get from breaking stuff down and need to throw away

Near the front of the garage I got 2 boxes for stuff one is "Stuff to be sorted" Other is "Stuff to break down"

And lastly I have a couple of trash cans near the back of the garage I keep my insulated wire to be stripped and insulated wire to turn in as insulated


I would love to hear how others store their stuff, and all tips are welcome

Thanks,
