First off great advice from everyone. God I love this place. And trust me any newbie can learn a lot from this forum. I have learned more about electronic scrap in the past month than I have learned in the past 6 months before I stumbled on this site. As for the smallest things....well...some of the screws out of electronics are pretty small. Throw them in a plastic dog food bag, like the kind of dog food u get from the dollar store, and when they get full the scrap yard will buy them as short iron. Which is usually about 20 or 30 dollars more on the ton than shread,or light iron, or tin as some places call it. If I am in my house and taking stuff apart I use my empty dip cans. When they are full they usually weigh about 2 or 3 lbs each. Only the lids are metal, but when they full of screws the yards around here take them. I mix them in with my crushed soup and vegi cans in hundred pound feed sacks and dump them out in the shread pile or the bailer at the yard
