Scrapyards.io lists 377 scrap yards in Michigan spread over 165 cities, and Detroit, Flint, and Grand Rapids account for the largest share of them. What Michigan yards see day to day reflects the local mix of automotive manufacturing, steel, and aerospace: building and plumbing copper, aluminum from vehicles and cans, and steel from construction and equipment. 6 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 Michigan yard will quote its own price once it knows your grade, weight, and how clean the load is. Use the city list below to find a yard near you, check the hours before you drive, and carry a photo ID, since yards record every sale and state law often requires it.
