Method of working for processing scrap metal on a scrap-metal recycling site, and shearing press or press or shears employed in this method

Method for processing scrap metal stored (5) in a scrap recycling yard (14) by using a shear press (1) or a press or shear with a loading container (4) and an outlet (7) for processed scrap metal (5′) and by using a loading device (11) to fill the container (4) with scrap metal to be processed (5), the method using a self-propelled shear press (1), press or shear, namely a shear press, press or shear with its own means of moving (19) and autonomous mobility enabling the operations and movements of the shear press (1), press or shear to be remotely controlled by an operator, the method comprising the following steps:

• providing for a storage area (16) for the scrap metal to be processed (5);
• proceeding cyclically with:
• moving the shear press (1), press or shear into the storage area or along the storage area (16) within reach of the loading device (11);
• filling the container (4) of the shear press (1), press or shear with the scrap metal to be processed (5) using the loading device (11);
• operating the shear press (1), press or shear to process the scrap metal (5) loaded into the container (4) and to clear the processed scrap metal (5′) via the outlet (7);
• moving the shear press (1), press or shear to process a next heap of scrap metal to be processed (5), leaving the processed scrap metal where it is (5′) out of the container (4).
