Start with value concentration rather than physical volume. Recover copper-bearing cables and other non-ferrous materials first. Then determine whether separating heavy structural steel from light material creates a buyer-recognized premium. Cut oversized steel only when the additional selling price exceeds cutting, gas, labour and handling costs.
