Listings carried over from this site's earlier directory (imported May 9, 2026); yards Google lists as permanently closed are left out. How we check listings.
Our directory lists five active scrap yards in San Diego, California, providing paid drop-off points for metal that would otherwise sit in garages or head to landfill. The accepted-material data in San Diego's directory is sparse — yards in the listings generally do not file a formal intake list, so each yard's individual page and a phone call are the working tools for sellers. The scrap intake setup in San Diego works for both household sellers clearing a garage and contractors moving accumulated job-site material through the same drop-off path.
