Ok in our yard, we have a ground crew that when a load gets dumped they pick thru it, or the operator radios them over if hes sees something good, and he does his part and picks out big things. Honestly we dont bother with taking the motor out of a washer/dryer.. if we see brass valves,wire,larger sized motors,stainless,alum.etc. we pick it out and throw it in our recovery pile.. and when we have time we pick thru it, burn/clean and weigh up the recovery.. and the bails of light iron and appliances that get sent to the shredder, when they go thru the shredder they also get picked but the shredder does most the work.. i forgot the name, but special magnets and different conveyor belts seperate all the different kinds of metal, after the bail gets shredded.
