A map pin can't tell you whether a yard takes a trunk full of aluminum cans and copper pipe or only buys whole vehicles — and the two are priced completely differently. Every yard tagged here states on its own site that it buys scrap from the public by weight. Posted prices move weekly with the commodity market and differ by state, so treat any number you read online as a starting point and confirm by phone the morning you haul.

Good to know
What are current scrap metal prices?
Yards set their own buy prices and move them weekly with the commodity market, so there is no national figure. As a rough order of magnitude in 2026: steel and light iron pay cents per pound, aluminum cans a few tens of cents per pound, and clean copper a few dollars per pound. Prices also vary by state and by how clean and sorted your material is — call the yard the day you plan to haul and ask for their current posted price.
Do scrap yards pay cash?
Many do, but not everywhere: several states restrict cash payouts for scrap metal transactions and require a check, prepaid card or bank transfer, often with a waiting period for catalytic converters and certain nonferrous metals. Every yard is required to record your photo ID either way. Ask about payment method when you call for prices.
What scrap metal is worth the most money?
Per pound, copper pays best — clean bright wire and copper tubing top the list, followed by brass and insulated wire. Catalytic converters are priced per unit rather than by weight and can be worth far more than the metal in them. Steel and light iron pay the least per pound but make up the bulk of most loads.
Who will buy junk cars?
Auto wreckers, scrap recycling centers, and vehicle salvage yards buy scrap cars across Ohio. You can browse 84 licensed auto buyers in the state to get competitive scrap quotes. Most buyers handle all ownership transfer paperwork and offer complimentary towing.
Who gives the most cash for junk cars?
High cash offers are typically made by established salvage yards and automotive recyclers operating in Ohio. With 84 listings available state-wide, comparing quotes from multiple yards helps maximize your payout. Complete vehicles with intact catalytic converters and valuable parts command higher prices.
