Feeder yards are the entry point for scrap metal to enter the 'system'. So a feeder yard would collect the metal from small vans etc. Basic feeder yards will then bale the material and send it to bigger yards to be processed (others might process it a little by shreading etc).

In short, they are the mouth of the metal industry.

How do you squirrels out of bird feeders?

A problem for many back yard bird feeders. Most people use thin sheet metal around the post the feeder is attached to so the squirrel has no way to grip the post and climb up.
