Scrapyards.io lists 127 scrap yards in Kentucky spread over 69 cities, and Louisville, Lexington, and Bowling Green account for the largest share of them. The state's economy of automotive manufacturing, aluminum, bourbon, and logistics shapes what comes through the gate, from construction and demolition metal to industrial offcuts and end-of-life vehicles. 1 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. Price pages on this site show a daily US average estimate per grade. Kentucky yards set their own rates around that figure based on volume, prep, and freight, so treat it as a baseline and confirm by phone. 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.
