How is the weekly income for the junkyard in GTA V calculated?

Solution 1:

The Car Scrapyard gives you $150 dollars for every car you destroy. You do not need to take the cars to the scrapyard itself.

This is paid out each game week on Monday morning (00:00).

I've just tested this by blowing up two cars on the highway at 23:00 on Sunday. My earnings email for the week came shortly after indicating I'd made $300.

Solution 2:

For every car you destroy you get 150 per week. Mine has capped out at 5000 per week though.
