What you do is simple, instead of scrapping weapons and armor at the benches, drop it on the ground in your desired settlement. Go into build model, and start scrapping. The game will take this as if you were scrapping objects in the settlement, and thus lowering the size meter.

Take the guns out of the workbench and find a flat spot where dropping weapons around you in a circle won't see them get lost. Drop them from your inventory; all at once is fine. Go into build mode and store them in the workshop. Watch your settlement size shrink with each weapon stored.Nov 18, 2015
