Transporting my parted out S5

Well, I'm parting out my S5, and I'd like to be able to sell off as much as I can, including a 5-lug conversion, but the only problem is... I have no clue as to how I can transport a non movable vehicle from my garage to a junk yard. Is there anyone here that has any ideas or has previously parted out their cars and been able to transport them to a junk yard without a rolling body? I need some suggestions.

Thanks!

I parted an s5, including 5-lug. Save yourself the trouble and do it in the driveway, not garage. Leave the 5-lug to the END, don't do it right away, once you get pretty much everything else out, jack the car up and put it on stands, take off the 5-lub junk, put some huge wood boards under the car, and lower it down onto those. Then call up a towing company and tell them you need a car hauled to the junk yard and it has no wheels, believe me they deal with this a lot. They'll come and drag it up onto a flat bed very easily. The boards are just there to protect your driveway from getting torn to ****.

Towing to the junk yard cost me $30 bucks for the non-rolling s5.

Kind of hard to do that when you're taking off the hubs and such.
