Huntington Beach is a city on the south coast of California with a population that's just a little shy of 200 thousand people. It is the 23rd largest city in the state, and borders Pacific Ocean to the west, Long Beach to the north, Santa Ana and Irvine to the west.
The city is famous for its long, beautiful beaches and amazing climate, which makes it ideal for surfing – hence, the name Surf City. Huntington Beach also has incredible parks, excellent housing, boat marinas, and excellent education and healthcare systems.
Although the city has a diverse economic base, tourism and technology are the leading industries. It is also home to over 650 industrial businesses that include aerospace, retail, and hospitality.
Huntington Beach also has a vibrant scrap metal industry. We investigated scrap yards in the city, and found that most of them offer great prices for valuables, gold, and scrap metal Beware though: check with the people around for advice as some of them may not offer good customer service. Also, take time to familiarize yourself with the laws in the state to know what to expect when you go to a scrap yard.
If you live in Sunset Beach, Sea Tow Newport Beach/LA is close to you and they open even on Sunday. A good scrap yard in the northern side of the city is Sackin Metals on 15201 Transistor Lane. They are reputable for competitive prices and good customer service.
Other places we can recommend include Junk Smiths located Gothard Street Unit I and Huntington Beach Recycling on Slater Avenue.
Cash for gold places we highly recommend include America Coin Exchange on 7160 Edinger Avenue, BlueVault Orange County on 7501 Edinger Avenue, and Huntington Super Pawn on 17731 Beach Boulevard.
