My pepermint and cleaner shrimp shed their shells failry often (I know this is normal), and they leaver their "skin" all over the place (very rude!:D). Should I fish them out every time I see them out each time or will be okay to leave them in? I do not mind seing them in the tank, I just do not want them to polute it.

I've never noticed a problem with not fishing them out. I don't think there is much nutrients in the shell that would significantly pollute a tank.

Nothing to worry about; they will completely dissolve into nothing in about a day.
