Not everything is worth breaking down. I use to save all my alum to clean it no matter how dirty it was. I got sick of that crap and now AL Breakage is my best friend, Not really but ya know.
But we all deal in different quantitys and different types of scrap. Example, when my car guy calls, i dont really have to break down anything, its all shred pretty much. But if HVAC place calls, i have to disassemble condensors and furnaces and such.
Only things really worth cleaning is copper, brass, acrs, and wires. Stainless steel is fun but its over hyped.
Anyways, take everything apart once to learn whats worth it or not
