    And I am not going to be Holier Than Thou , cause yeah I push what can pass .But think what your admitting to -
    the compressor, motor, wire and radiators
    leaves only plastic and some dinky screws .

    Now consider nationwide scrapyards end up selling
    all our scrap to similar locations. these buyers if they see to much game playing (yards in particular)
    in the long run puts a hurt on the scrap industry
    via a lack of trust

    I for one prefer finding / selling the ratio that is acceptable and getting paid proper.



    I find when the yards get tweaked , they start watching like hawks, it's a pain in the butt.
    So universally it is our duty as scrappers to stay on the leash as we are the ones in the long run to get hurt .
    The ones I've dealt with have metal sides and bottoms. The only plastic is the front and rear panels and a half piece in the middle. Plenty of metal.

    My yard takes appliances. That means they take the plastic too. I get my cut and still leave some meat on the bone for them too. Don't group me in with ****birds that stuff with bricks and concrete.
