My friend had a two door coupe made in the early year 2000s, and it weighed 3380 pounds. They gave him $211 for it (which is $6.25 per 100 pounds) instead of the expected $219 per the quoted $6.50 by phone, but oh well. Other places I called were offering $6 per 100 pounds or $40 pick up fee, or $75-150 for the car without weighing, and some even wanted you to empty the fluids and check the engine, etc.
The whole process from phone call to paperwork to pick up of the car to weighing car to check in hand was around one hour on a weekday around lunch time. They give you a receipt for your taxes when filing and also the check. To get the car weight, they weigh the tow truck with the car then drop the car in the lot then re-weigh just the tow truck. You can see the weight at the register and on the electric billboard at the weight station. You need to bring the car title and a photo identification card. The employees were friendly and efficient.
I called around all the junk yards that I found on Google in Columbus Ga to see which one would give me the best price. This place offers $6.50 per 100 pounds with free pick up. It also offers $7.50 per 100 pounds if you drop off the vehicle. However, if your junky vehicle runs, you should sell it by looking up its value on kbb.com (Kelly Blue Book) and write the price on the car and drive it around for a buyer to see instead of accepting the few $100s you will get at a scrap yard.
