My yards near me, my main one, an the sketchy one you all have herd me ***** about, they all accept both, ferrous an non. Tho they do have drive on scales for the shred. Everything else is unloaded to the inside scale. They even help ya out with that part!

I love my main yard. Just wish the buggers were closer.

To stilt..on your software question for tracking an such..I did a quick Google search an bunches came up. Might try that an see if any work for you, I just used.."Scrapyard software" an a bunch popped up. I also like your idea of not going 24/7..while it would be nice, as others have pointed out, you'd be inviting ever tweeker, crack head, an thief to use your yard. An yea.. I don't think the law would be to happy. I know here on the sandbar they've been riding the sketchy yard hard. They deserve it tho, the thieving bastards. haha!



Again good luck, an let us know how it goes for you. I'm sure others on here have thought to do the same an for whatever reason haven't.
