Chula Vista is a city found in southern California with a population of 275,487. It is the 15th largest city in the state, and lies to the south of the San Diego city.
Chula Vista is another name that means ‘beautiful views.’ The city has year-round amazing weather that attracts outdoor enthusiasts, runners, bikers, hikers, and cyclists. It also boasts 52 sq. miles of coastal landscape. Attractions in the city you should visit include Sweetwater Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, Living Coast Discovery Center, Otay Valley Regional Park, Chula Vista Nature, etc.
The economy of the city relies on small businesses, tourism, education, healthcare, aerospace, retail, and government. If you want to sell scrap metal or gold, the city has quite a few scrap yards where you can take your metals. These yards mostly offer great prices for scrap metal and valuables.
Before going to any facility, check out different reviews online and ask around because not all scrap yards offer the best service. You should also take time to know some of the scrap metal laws in the city, as they are strict.
We reviewed some of the scrap yards and cash for gold places you can take scrap metal, and we found several we can recommend. If you are driving along Main Street, a highly recommend place is Mike’s Recycling on Zip Code 3151. They open around 7.am, and are popular for their good prices and service.
You can also go to West Auto Wreckers on 2365 on the same street (Main Street) or Mike’s Scrap Metal Recycling Center on 1778 Broadway.
If you are driving east towards Sunbow, several recommendable options include AAA Foreign Auto Recycling on Nirvana Avenue, RC Import Auto Recyclers on Energy Way #C, and Aatlas Auto Recycling on 791 Energy Way.
