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.
Maine has 47 scrap yards listed across 34 cities and towns, with the densest coverage in Bangor, Orrington, and Portland. The state's economy of forestry and paper, fishing, and shipbuilding shapes what comes through the gate, from construction and demolition metal to industrial offcuts and end-of-life vehicles. Accepted materials are shown where the yard has listed them: 2 Maine listings name lead, auto parts, electronics, or precious metals, and many name none, so call ahead before you load up. Price pages on this site show a daily US average estimate per grade. Maine 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.
