Every Bay Produces Sellable Scrap

Replacement parts leave old ones behind, and most are worth money. Lead-acid batteries are priced each, catalytic converters are priced one by one on their type and serial, and radiators, alloy wheels, starters, alternators and brake discs are paid by weight at their own grades.

Keep each type in its own pile and the visit is quick. Batteries should travel upright and undamaged, and fluids must be drained from any engine or gearbox parts.

Get a better price

How Workshops Get a Better Price

Small steps in the workshop lift the rate at the yard.

Rims with tyres and steel weights still on are graded lower.

Do not cut them open. Loose or missing honeycomb lowers the value.

Batteries upright

Transport batteries upright and undamaged, never stacked loose.

Separate alloy and steel

Use a magnet: steel rims mixed with alloys drag the whole lot down to steel rates.
