Tennessee has 205 scrap yards listed across 88 cities and towns, with the densest coverage in Memphis, Chattanooga, and Nashville. The state's economy of automotive manufacturing, healthcare, and music and entertainment shapes what comes through the gate, from construction and demolition metal to industrial offcuts and end-of-life vehicles. 7 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 Tennessee 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.
