    Yeah, I will always break down all faucets and inside plumbing fixtures. You get a lot of yellow and white brass that way, also, some copper, I have run into a bit of stainless steel as well.... I said i would break down all, hrm I guess I should add that i don't break down the all plastic faucets, just the ones with the " goodies " attached "

    It's kind of nice to take a truck load of 5 gallon buckets of brass to the yard. I mean on a good day, that would pay for a modest vacation for two.
