Scrap Yards in Minnesota

Scrapyards.io lists 129 scrap yards in Minnesota spread over 68 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. Nearly every yard here buys copper, aluminum, brass, and steel; a smaller group also takes lead, catalytic converters, circuit boards, and precious metals, so check the listing before you load up. Price pages on this site show the daily national average 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.
