Get rid off all your steel even some items that you were goanna break down more like vacuums, ceiling fans, printers and such. Same for your aluminum you were goanna break down in order to get clean alum price, sell as dirty aluminum and move on. Separate your piles better as you are brining in the stuff. Use tubs or other containers for your insulated wire same thing goes there sell as insulated vs. stripping it. I separate my steel into prepared, clean sheet iron, unprepared and shred, but I don not generally clean or breakdown the item just put it as in the pile and when I have enough of that type of steel take it in. So you will be getting rid of your shred steel almost every week. Good luck.



Also get containers for your yard sale items, I even put a price sticker on the item and add it to the sale bins, that way when its yard sale time you are ready to go. After the sale what did not sell take to the scrap yard or donate the item, as you will be getting more stuff. If you are going to do craigslist or ebay you will need to keep that stuff separate in your shed or house so you can get at it. What you cant sell there add to yard sale bin.
Good point hobo I will start doing that.
