    Not sure if this is the right section for this, so feel free to move it.

    I have quite a bit of scrap lying around at the minute. I also have a scrapped car. Do you get the same price if the whole lot is inside the car or do most scrap yards just pay the one price for a car. It would be way handier to pile the whole lot into the car and just make one trip.

    So you're saying they usually go by weight, regardless of whether or not it's in a car?

    It depends on where you bring it.
    In Athlone its by weight UNLESS you pile it into a car.
    Then you only get paid for the price of the car.
    Found this out the hard way :(.

    I rang galway metal this morning. They say it's 80 euro per tonne for a car and you can load it up and still 80 euro a tonne. But if you have scrap metal by itself it's 100 euro a tonne. I suppose you get less for a car beause of the plastic and rubber and what not in it. Still handier to bring it in a car I reckon, I'll only be down about 30 quid and I'd have to make two runs.
