Does this sound right?

I asked my yard how they wanted the aluminum separated. I expected something along the lines of sheet, extruded, cast and dirty or irony. He said throw all cast and sheet together, no need to pull the iron out but to separate the extruded.



Also, as far as extruded, am I correct in assuming window screen frames, lawn furniture, heat sinks, and refrig tubing (aluminum of course) or am I way off base? Thanks in advance.

My thoughts also, but this is a reputable yard, one of the nation's largest. Thanks for the info though

Perhaps the yard shreds the material?

was kinda my thought too, they might be running it all through the same route anyway, and then separating it by machine

They might also be remelting it and pouring it into ingots. Significantly reducing the fluff and making shipping easier.
