And yeah, you can leave the motor and tanny in and make that .10 per lb. $200 -$300 per vehicle. Pull em and everything else then that same vehicle brings you anywhere from $500-$800. A far cry from an extra $30.
I know my scrap yard requires the tank to be removed, but my salvage yards take the cars whole. The reason scrap yards require the fuel tanks to be removed is because of risk of fire or explosion at the shredder.



I dont do many cars, I dont have the equipment to remove them, I call a buddy of mine that has a roll back, he pays me $150 - $200 per car, and I pay the car owners $50 - $100, but mostly I will get cars for free.

Now Motorcycles are another story, I will take them all day long if I could get them. I can make good money on old motorcycles.
