Should I Take Copper Out Of Electric Motors To Scrap It Or Just Scrap The Whole Motor Intact

When taking scrap metal to a scrap yard?

Hi, I've been stockpiling some scrap metal for a while now and I think I've got enough to take it to a local scrap yard. I'm pretty new to scrapping but have heard that it's well worth the effort. My question is, do I have to disassemble and separate the metal from the non-metal on items? Like for example, I have a broken treadmill I want to scrap. There is a lot of what I'm assuming is steel on it, but of course it has the rubber belt and plastic parts as well. Do scrap yards take the whole thing or do I have to take it apart? Thanks for your advice.
