Does the dashboard and all the plastic on the doors of a car need to be ripped out before baling it? I see some scrap yards just throwing them in the baler with all the plastic and even seats left in? Thanks.

Depends on the yard. Most of the time no, but we have one place locally that pays $20/ton bonus for cars stripped clean of interior upholstery and plastic. Would be a safe bet to call your yard first to find out.
Speaking of cars. If your in denver area western metas on oxford is paying 290 a ton right now for complete cars.
I have experienced 3 flat tires and trudged through 8 inches of muck at western. the crushers in Denver offer the same rate.
I have that choice also. Two of my yards are unpaved. Unbearably dusty in the summer and extremely muddy after rains. I stopped going to one of them completely and only go the the other if weather is good AND if it has the best price. Schnitzer SE has a great new paved area and I don't know how they do it, but I've been going there for 1 1/2 yrs and I've never had a flat.
Here they just take the whole thing. Minus the battery, fuel tank, and tires.Quote:

He got another man to go clean out the unloading area with the dozer while I waited to unload and took the crane operator off the crane and put him working the small scale! It pays to talk to them.Quote:
