    Ladder scrap question

    I've got a few aluminum and fiberglass ladders to scrap. On the 6' aluminum step ladders there is a stainless steel rivet in each step and brace. Do I need to remove them?

    I hate those fiberglass/aluminum ladders. Had one once and after cutting all the fiberglass off I itched for a week. You can leave the rivets in but you'll get dirt aluminum price for the aluminum, about half of clean aluminum.
