Scrapyards.io lists 127 scrap yards in Minnesota spread over 67 cities, and Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and mankato account for the largest share of them. The state's economy of medical devices, agriculture, mining, and food processing shapes what comes through the gate, from construction and demolition metal to industrial offcuts and end-of-life vehicles. 14 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. Minnesota yards set their own rates around that figure based on volume, prep, and freight, so treat it as a baseline and confirm by phone. 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.
