In theory the scrapper would enter the yard with a full load of shred, get weighed, dump the load of shred and put some items from the shred pile on their truck, and then get weighed again. So, the scrap yard and scrapper would just be trading shred for shred, not the scrap yard paying for shred twice. The scrapper in theory then goes and breaks down the shred into individual metals and sells it back to the yard. The yard may do better on the individual metals then shred and make money on the trade in the long run, just like the scrapper would too. Win, Win.

So the yard would deduct the items taken off of the weight from the first load then? Ok, I misunderstood the OP then.
