    do scrapyards take cars
    Under legislation scrapyards/establishments accepting cars and other vehicles for destruction must be licensed.

    Was in the local scrap metal/recycling place in Cavan during the week, and the lad there took a phone call from a woman in Cabra, who had a little Opel she wanted rid off. He told her it would be collected by 10 am the next morning.
    was surprised they would go so far for one car, must be a few eurp profit in them still.....

    here in the South East they collect from homeowners etc and usually offer nothing to take away , so best bring it yourself and get paid at their yard.

    As you know I would be up and down the M3 several times a week.
    Often seen scrapyourcar.ie recovery vehicles on it and they ain't there to look at the scenery and buzzards along the way ;)
    Wouldn't be my first choice of scrapyard to pick up a part from. Lots of others in the area that IMO are more helpful, with pleasant staff, cheaper and have a better returns policy.

    This was Felix Gormleys . Send a truck to Dublin and back would be probably nine or ten gallons of diesel, he would want to be getting a load of them.

    scrapyourcar.ie is Felix Gormley.
    Often seen their lorry heading East to Dublin on the M3 loaded with cars on board. I presume there is active trade with different makes/models between Counties.

    Through the floor I would imagine with the slowdown of economic activity.

    Even the ethnic favourite, copper, has gone down, new cabling tends to be fibre optic.

    My electrician was telling me he went down to Crossdoney with wire offcuts and old wire he pulled out of rewire jobs. Gormley quoted x price on a Friday
    He went down Saturday morning , weighted in and out. Price paid was 1/4 less and Gormley charged him weighbridge charge

    Went to Wilton the following week with the 2nd half of it and got the same price Gormley quoted and no charges for weighbridge
