Precious Metals scrap in Ohio
Ohio yards that buy precious metals draw most of their supply from automotive manufacturing, steel, plastics, and healthcare. For Silver (.999) and Gold (.999), yards and refiners in Ohio test purity first and pay a percentage of spot, so hallmarks, karat stamps, and clean separation outweigh volume. Across Ohio, dozens of yards accept precious metals; the largest clusters are in Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati. Because mills and refiners are concentrated across the Midwest, Ohio yards rarely sit on precious metals for long. Posted prices on this page are national averages updated daily; Ohio yards set their own rates around them based on volume, prep, and freight, so call ahead with your grade and weight for a firm quote.
