In Canada, roving scrappers, combined with environmental laws, mean lots of old stuff lying around behind the barn or out in the trees, is gone. Cruising the back roads one used to see quite a bit of potentially interesting stuff, old cars, tractors, CMP stuff but very rare now.

Also because of environmental laws, higher scrap prices, and more "professional" -profit- making junk yard operations there are a) far fewer junk yards than before and B) what are called 10 and 5 year yards... in other words parts for newer cars, anything over 10 or even 5 years gets scrapped--efficiency and profit
