Locally there is a machine shop that has an arrangement with an auto

The wrecker gets the chips for free and it adds to the weight of the
flattened cars.
I am not sure what happens at final compaction but by then the wrecker has
his money.

I am getting .05/ lb for chips and light iron at the local junk yard. I
have a 1000 lbs of brass chips but the same yard doesn't give much for
that. It goes to another yard at .65 /lb. You have to shop around if
you have a large amount of scrap.
