About Scrapyards.io

Scrapyards.io is a free directory of scrap yards across the United States, paired with current scrap metal price references and a calculator that helps you estimate what your haul is worth before you drive to the yard.

What you'll find here

• Yard listings for every state, with hours, accepted materials, and contact info
• Daily US average price estimates for 22 scrap grades, with a page per state listing yards that buy each one
• A garage scrap calculator that estimates a payout range from items you have on hand
• Item pages explaining what each common scrap item is worth and how to prep it

How prices are calculated

Grade prices are daily US average estimates: a metal spot price from MetalpriceAPI times a grade factor, or a fixed reference value for a few grades such as steel. Item and calculator values assume a yard pays 50–70% of those grade prices. Price reports from users are shown on yard pages but are not mixed into the averages. The full method is on our methodology page. Always call ahead to confirm what your local yard is paying today.

Independence

Scrapyards.io is an independent website. It is not run by, and does not buy scrap for, any scrap yard, recycler, metals exchange or government agency. Listings are free; the site is paid for by ads.
