hi everybody I'm sorry in advance if these questions are too glaringly obvious, i DID try to find the answers online first but i suspect that maybe the answers are too obvious even to be posted online?

ok, first of all, can any sort of steel be sold? i ask because i have seen videos of scrappers on youtube picking and they say "oh theres aluminum, THAT can be sold", as if the other metal cannot.
so will any sort of ferrous steel sell?

second does all of the steel have to be separated. that is, could i bring something down that has some plastic on it (prob a stupid question, i understand). i have some bikes but the pedals are just rusted on so bad i am not able to separate them with my tools.

lastly, what are the typical prices for separated or non separated steel, if i am able to sell them?



oh one more question, i have about 400-500lbs of mostly steel i think i have get rid of to the scrap yard. some of it is separated, some of it is not. is that too light to go to the scrapyard with? will i be wasted his time? i want to get into scrapping so would like to get off on a good foot with the local yard owner


ok again i am sorry for such stupid n00b questions but like i said i DID search the internet and searched for days my questions were not explicitly answered anywhere, i think theyre too obvious.thanks in advance
