About Gardner Wrecking Company
Gardner Wrecking Company handles auto salvage and parts out of Pendleton, Indiana, drawing material from sellers across the surrounding county. The site processes inbound scrap from walk-in sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers who need to turn metal into cash rather than haul it home. Material acceptance details are not published for this yard in our directory entry at the time of the latest snapshot. On the directory side, a phone line and an email contact are on file. Posted hours are available for visitors to check, which together represent the yard's published-facing contact and schedule mix as filed with us, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over with a load. Posted scrap prices move with the daily commodity market, so the intake quoted on a given day can differ from prices listed online or quoted earlier in the week. A short phone call before a drop-off pins down the day's number, and sellers can also use the same call to ask about minimum-load expectations, since some yards quote different rates depending on the inbound size.
