Some taps seem to also have some kind of honeycomb piece inserted up the
outflow, presumably to make the stream more contained. I have no idea what
this is made of.

Just about to sort out the stuff recovered from the CH and H&C - lots of
pipe and fittings plus radiators etc.

The above article is very useful, in that it recommends sorting into 3
piles
copper
brazing copper (copper with e.g. soldered fittings)
brass

However there will be times when there are things which can't be seperated
(without some hassle), such as brass olives on copper pipe.
So which pile do those go into, or is there yet another pile for 'mixed'?

I assume that bath taps and the like which are mainly brass but have
chrome plus plastic inlays just go into the brass pile.

Any other advice on sorting out scrap to get the best value will be much
appreciated.

TIA
