Hi! I'm looking for your advice, I have 2 car shells that want to give away for free, for somebody to pick up. Just shells with all the parts removed - no engine, no wheels etc. Do you now anybody who can help? So far everyone I called from classifieds can't do it. Thanks in advance!
 
The cars are BMWs (e46 and e90) but it's not relevant, as all the parts are pulled. The rest is good only for metal itself.

2 Gregster: I called this number, thank you for your advice, they want me to pay 100$ for each car as it is far for them, I should have mentioned the cars are in Saint-Lazare, close to Vaudreuil. I already have somebody who can pick them up if I pay 50$ for each, and two companies that said no problem we can pick them up for free - and then I'm chasing them for a few days and they just seem to be not able to organize the effing pickup.
 
In Montreal you could put them on the curb and those scrapper bastards would have them in their pickup beds under 30 minutes.
 
I'm in the same situation. Got a SAAB parts car that i'm planning on stripping to the bone. Looking for someone ahead of time that would take away for the metal.
 
I have never had to pay to pickup a shell and I strip them down to the frame. I call the metal scrappers or the junk yards and I tell them I have a free stripped frame for them with the papers, do you want it or no? If they start talking prices I say never mind I'll call elsewhere and then they usually change their tune. Call around you will find a guy to take it, usually if you are not in a rush they can pass when they are in the area and just add it to their current load.
 
JROC, finally I have some feedback for you. As you see it took me 3 weeks. I bet I made more than 200 phone calls and once spent a whole day on it.
I was surprised how many people can't just say no, but instead make promises and waste your time. You need to find someone who is more or less close to you, as even companies from West Island are not interested to go to Vaudreuil/Saint-Lazare. Here are some companies in your area you shouldn't waste your time on:

NATWAL METAL - guy's name is J.C. Promised to come on Thursday 3 weeks ago, haven't heard from him since. I even went to there yard in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield to find him, met some people there, they said that's only J.C. who deals with it, he is somewhere away and they don't know his cell phone number.

JO-BER Recyclage Metaux - promised to come next day each day for more than a week, after that said their truck is broken, and looks like they won't be able to help.

I also contacted several individual towing guys, they made promises as well.
 
Same kind of situation. Called and left messages only a few got back to me. Reno Auto Parts in Vaudreuil was the only decent offer @ $50 to tow it away.
