Method of working for processing scrap metal stored on a scrap-metal collecting site using a shearing press, press or shears for the processing of scrap metal, the shearing press, press or shears being provided with a filling tray and with an outlet for the processed scrap metal. The device is a self-powered shearing press, press or shears, namely a shearing press, press or shears provided with its own mechanism for movement.

Compaction press, which comprises: a support structure provided with an abutment surface; a first compaction lid, which is provided with a first flat compaction surface and is rotatably constrained to a first delimitation edge of the support structure; a second compaction lid, which is provided with a second curved compaction surface and is rotatably constrained to a second delimitation edge of the support structure. The abutment surface of the support structure and the first and second compaction surfaces of the first and second compaction arms delimit a pressing chamber, in which a mass of material to be compacted is intended to be deposited. In addition, the second compaction lid comprises a first arm and a second arm which are rotatably constrained to each other.
