I mostly just took in a load and dropped it off and would get whatever.

To get a good idea of what you can get out of different items take a good look at the dismantling forum here. It will tell you how to dismantle different appliances, etc, and tell you want to look for.

thanks for the help guys!

When I scrap a AC rad for the copper should I just throw the aluminum with my other aluminum prodoct or put it seperate? I have 3-5 car and air conditioner radiators and a huge aluminum car ramp to cut up.

I ball mine up and keep it seperate my yard pays me MLC for it. What ever that is.
