A phone call to the yard and ask for the current rate could mean the difference of taking the stuff in or waiting for a better price. Generally the yard want the cases sorted out separately (ie brass, steel or alum). I've noticed that recently some of the yards deduct for tare even though they are using their own containers (administration fee).
Bottom line, call and ask questions BEFORE you get there.
