Default scrapyards in glasgow area?

Hi,

Who does everyone use on the west coast? I've got 3 cars and some loose scrap to go in the next month or so.

Can you pile loose scrap into the car and then handball it out at the far end? afaik they dont like grabbing the car if they cant absolutely see whats in it?

I assume drain all fluids etc and remove tyres?

What sort of scrap prices are around at the moment?

Anything else I need to know?

Cheers!

Cats are cut off, batteries are a good shout, just hand them into the same yard seperate or somewhere else? No one ever had a yard object to cars filled with other scrap?
