some cars have very little scrap value.

sooperrescue:
You are right about compensation but we know those people we are targeting. Those whose cars have become relics in their houses and it has.become a risk to the owners. Those are the once we are talking about. I once took a glk Mercedes bulletproof jeep from an embassy in Lagos to a demolition yard in Ogba and we were paid 40k to take it there. It is the owners of the vehicles that pays for demolition. We are not Owode that will resell the vehicles. Have you noticed that if you abandon your truck on the highway, after a month, it is only the carcass you will meet there. Those doing that job are thieves. We have been rendering this service since 2009 and we know the many enquiries we have gotten since last night. If you know what effect the vehicles that are abandoned does to the environment, we should not then see the enterprise as a means to chop lagosians hard earned money, you will surely be glad to dispose of it. We are Rescue and Recovery nig Ltd.

No sweetheart. Thats why its called SCRAP.
A car is made of metal, with its engine and other components.
Scrap metal business is a big business for some people.
So saying we should pay him to come take away something that is worth some quid is absolutely surprising for me.
But as he said, his target are not for "people like us", but for people who have a BMW they dont want to see in their compound or environment anymore.

YOUNGKAHUNA:
When you pick the cars, what happens to it? You grind it or sells it as scrap?

sooperrescue:
Thanks, that your oil, we need to see to ascertain the quality so that our motoring club members should have a feel of it.

A car has scrap value, that's a fact.

But...it has to be dismantled completely.

Metal components separated.
Engine oil drained.
Coolant drained.
Hydraulic fluid drained.
Refrigerants recovered (controlled recovery).
Fuel drained.
Rubber components separated.
Plastic components separated.
Textiles separated.
Glass removed.
Batteries removed.
Miscellaneous / sundries

All this takes time, and costs money. People have to be paid to dismantle the carcass. In the UK, you I'll get paid for a scrap car IF you deliver it to a treatment facility or scrapyard. You'll get nothing IF you've got a scrap car on your lawn, with no wheels, meaning it'll be a pain in the arsè to pick up from your home. Or it has wheels, but you have no means of delivering it. If the collector is feeling generous, he MIGHT give you £35, depending on what the car weighs, and what scrap metal is worth at that time.

Typical price paid for a complete medium-size family sedan is currently £130 IF you deliver it. Collection is expensive too, as fuel and time for the return trip are taken into consideration. Distance also influences what you MAY get paid if you can't run the wreck in yourself. The scrapper also has to pay for non-recyclable items to be disposed of, and their annual licence. So understand it's not a massive profit at the end, for a whole lot of labour and financial outlay

kayjasper:


Cool, we are still saying the same thing if i get u correctly.

That the owner is paid something "no matter how little" for the vehicle right?


Thats why i said it didnt seem right for him to say the owner pays him for something he woukd make some money out of for himself.

Siena:


No sis, we're not on the same page here.

If a scrap car has to be picked up from the owner, then it's up to the operator whether he chooses to give him or her anything for it at all. If the owner wishes to make something out of it, then by all means, he or she is free to strip it for parts, and sell them him or herself (which a lot of scrap car owners in Nigeria have done).

The result is a carcass that has been rapèd of anything of any real value. Or a fairly complete car that is so far gone, it's almost not worth the hassle to pick up for destruction. I have seen abandoned cars in Nigeria that have been so long in the same spot (as long as 20 years) that these wrecks have put down roots. Some dumped for a mere 3 years are so dusty, they look like the surrounding mounds of earth. The perfect camouflage.

As I stated previously, the profit margins on an average family sedan for scrap is pretty small when all other costs and the time taken to separate the different fluids and materials is taken into consideration. I'm in the automotive trade myself, and though I don't deal in scrap metal, I know what costs are involved in obtaining a salvage license, running costs as well as the costs associated with the disposal of non-recyclable materials.
