Riverside is the 12th largest city in California with a population of 314,998. It got its name from the fact that it lies beside the Santa Ana River. Some of the cities close to it include San Bernardino to the north, Santa Ana and Irvine to the southwest, Los Angeles to the west, and Palmdale to the northwest.
The city is popularly known for its citrus industry, historic sites, and more than 100 city landmarks. It also has a vibrant art and innovation sector, and a number of cultural activities and festivals.
Although the citrus industry is in decline, the economy of the city is diverse. Some of the products you can find in the city include automotive parts, gas cylinders, electronic equipment, food products, medical services, banking, and engineering.
If you have a set of valuables, gold, or scrap metal you’d like to sell, the city offers enough options to be assured that you will make some money. We investigated some of the scrap yards found in the city, and most of them have a reputation of serving their clients properly. You’ll also get good prices for your scrap metal.
A good scrap yard to go to if you live around Belltown or the western side of Riverside is AAA Recycling on 2810 Rubidoux Boulevard. You can also go to The Recycler Core Company on 2727 Kansas Avenue. You will sell your scrap metal at great prices here.
If you are driving along the Northside, Industrial Metal Supply Company on 301 Main Street or Augustine Metals on Placentia Lane are good places to go. Junk King Riverside along Palmyrita Avenue Unit #9 is a highly recommended scrap yard.
However - you should avoid Delta Trucking Inc. on La Cadena Drive. They don’t have decent customer service.
Cash for gold places we can recommend are Jum-Pawn-It on Magnolia Avenue, Markham Numismatics Coin Appraiser located in 5225 Canyon Crest Drive, and Market Street Jewelry & Loan on 4267 Market Street.
