Sacramento is the sixth most populous city in California with a population of 524,943. It is the capital of the state and borders Roseville to the North, Elk Grove and Stockton to the south, and Vacaville to the southwest.
Other names used to refer to Sacramento include the ‘City of Trees’ and ‘Farm-to-Fork.’ It can be an interesting place to visit because it is home to historical sites such as the State Capitol, Sutter’s Fort, Railroad Museum, Old Town, and Capital Park.
According to studies, Sacramento is the fastest growing city in California. Major sectors include government, advanced manufacturing, financial services, retail, entertainment, and tourism.
The city doesn’t have many scrap yards; but the few we found, provide exceptional services to their clients. You should also expect to make a good amount of money from scrap metal as long as you are ready to abide by the laws of the state since they are strict. The scrap yard will ask you for your ID, record the transaction, take fingerprints of your right index finger, and will pay via cheque after three days.
If you live in the central parts of Sacramento, scrap yards we can recommend are Sims metal on North 12th Street, Rudy’s Metals located on 750 Richards Boulevard, and Universal Service Recycling Inc. Sacramento on 24th Avenue.
For those who live in the southern parts of the city, scrap yards with good prices and excellent services include SV Recycling Center on Junipero Street, Ming’s Recycling Corporation on 47th Avenue, and Get Cash for Junk Cars on McComber Street.
Good scrap yards on the Northern Highlands include Al Sac Metals on Roseville Road, DC Metals & Recycling on 28th Street, and A-1 Recycling Co Inc on Elkholm Boulevard.
Cash for gold places we found include A&G Cash for Gold on Watt Avenue #118, Crown Precious Metals, Abla Jewelers on 3005 Arden Way, and A&D Coin And Jewelry Exchange on Fulton Avenue Suite #24.
