@@Nas_Atlas They don't drain them before they shred them? That's the law in BC. I got my certification online and drain them myself, then I get paid $22 from MARR BC plus what I get for the metals.

I'm still unsure of what exactly constitutes "prep" here. I've been told less than 4 feet and thicker than 1/8" but not cut up bed frames for some reason. My pile is starting with things I'm 100% certain on and after I take my first load in I'm going to start seeing what else is acceptable. For example some car parts like mufflers seem to be ok even though none of the steel is 1/8" thick! Hmm... Scrapping is peculiar business that's why I like it.
