I went to a scrap yard in the end near Aldermaston station, A4 Metal Recycling. They paid me £9.60 for my junk. Loads of commercial vans, lorries etc queuing up so it took 30 mins. Needed driving licence ID to register in office, then weigh, then dispose, then weigh, back into office to receive BACS payment. Wasn’t after any money, just wanted to dump some metal, bit of a faff! Came away thinking there must be a better way for them. I understand everything needs to be traceable to stop people stealing metal. Oh and needed a HI VIS waistcoat too. ^^^ None of this on their website, so had to wing it a bit.
My local scrap yard also has a metal skip but it’s for household items only. Can’t really see it being ok for engine parts, I’ll ask though, next time I’m up there.
