Frequently asked

How do I find the closest scrap yard to me?

Tap "Use my location" or enter your ZIP code above. We sort every listed yard by distance and show its hours, phone number and what it buys. Call before you drive: hours and accepted materials change, and some yards only buy from businesses.

What do scrap yards near me pay for copper and aluminum?

Posted prices on this site are national daily averages; a yard near you will quote around them depending on the grade, how clean the material is and how much you bring. Compare two or three nearby yards on the same day and ask for the price per grade.

Do I need ID to sell scrap metal?

Yes. Scrap yards record every purchase and most states require a government photo ID, and many photograph the seller and the material. Catalytic converters, copper wire and air-conditioner coils have extra rules in many states.

Are scrap yards open on weekends?

Many are open Saturday mornings and closed Sunday, but it varies. Each listing shows the yard's hours; the search results mark yards that are open now.
