I can see some collision shops giving it (frames and body work) away for free if you show up on a regular basis and get it out of there way ASAP. Do you stock pile it or take it straight to a yard?
The way I worked it was that his guys piled stuff in a particular place outside the side door. One side of the door was "waiting for insurance adjuster". Then it went to the other side of the door for me to pick up. My "hook" was the stuff would never be in the way of driving beside the building. In the summer that meant going there every two weeks. In the winter, at least every week. I'd also go the day before any predicted snowstorm to prevent stuff from getting buried and/or frozen into the asphalt. I just stockpiled everything but I have the setup and room for that.



Funny story - You should have been there when I stopped one day and there was a complete transmission. I was struggling getting it on the trailer so asked a guy who was walking by to help. He about came unglued. He'd put it there till he could put it back in his car. Two minutes later and I'd have been gone with it.
