Birmingham, AL Scrap Metal Prices

Birmingham is the second most populous city in the state of Alabama - after Huntsville. It has an estimated population of over 200k residents as of 2020. 

The city has a long history in iron and steel production and that industry helped it grow into a city. In a rather surprising turn of events though, the healthcare industry has become the largest employer in recent years.

The city is famous for a number of things, including it being a host for USA’s largest and oldest Veteran’s Day Celebration. It is also the only region in the world, where you can find all iron ingredients (iron ore, coal, and limestone) in one place. Therefore, if you want to sell scrap metal in Birmingham, you’d probably make some good money by selling it in a good scrap yard.

Best Scrap Yards in Birmingham

Before going into any scrap yard, try to know the current scrap metal laws in that state. You’ll be able to know what materials you can bring and how you’ll get your money. Alabama’s regulations are quite strict. Hence, you may need to bring proof of identification, the dealer will not pay cash for specific items, and the scrap yard might need to keep the record of transaction for a minimum of one year.

We also did a research on the best scrap yards in Birmingham, and we can strongly recommend Standard Iron & Metal Inc, located on the 27th Avenue North. They also have an excellent customer care service and you’ll get good prices for your scrap. The other yard is Pull-A-Part, which is a chain automotive scrap yard located, still, on the 27TH Avenue North.

There are several good ‘cash for gold’ places. We recommend Delta Pawn and EZPAWN. We loved their customer services and their prices are great.
