Alabama has 160 scrap yards listed across 84 cities and towns, with the densest coverage in Birmingham, Mobile, and Montgomery. The state's economy of automotive manufacturing, steel, aerospace, and forestry shapes what comes through the gate, from construction and demolition metal to industrial offcuts and end-of-life vehicles. 5 of these listings name lead, auto parts, electronics, or precious metals among accepted materials; many listings do not name materials at all, so call ahead if you have something other than common metals. The prices on Scrapyards.io are daily US average estimates, not yard quotes; a Alabama yard will quote its own price once it knows your grade, weight, and how clean the load is. Pick a city below to see the yards, hours, and directions, and bring a photo ID: scrap purchases are logged, and state law often requires identification for metal sales.
