New Jersey has 175 scrap yards listed across 106 cities and towns, with the densest coverage in Newark, Paterson, and Pennsauken. What New Jersey yards see day to day reflects the local mix of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, ports and shipping, and finance: building and plumbing copper, aluminum from vehicles and cans, and steel from construction and equipment. 17 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. New Jersey 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.
