How do you sort metal during a renovation without slowing the job?
Short answer: Put a few labelled buckets or bins on site from day one, one for copper and brass, one for aluminium and stainless and one for general steel, ask everyone working on the job to drop metal in the right one as they go, and empty them into larger containers weekly, because sorting as you go costs seconds per item and avoids a huge sorting job later.
