Salinas is a city in Monterey County that has a population of around 160 thousand people, the 33rd largest in the State of California. The city lies on the South of San Jose, west of Fresno, north of Santa Maria, and northwest of Bakersfield.
The city is popular for its high proportion of Hispanic Americans, and it has the second biggest Chinatown in the US. Points of interests in the city are the John Steinbeck House, Boronda Adobe History Center, and Santa Lucia Highlands American Viticultural Area.
Salinas is an industrial, governmental, and business center with agricultural playing a huge part in its economy. Construction and manufacturing industries are also active in the area, which creates a market for people who want to recycle or sell scrap metal.
There are a few scrap yards in the city, located across different areas in the city. Not all offer good services, so it would be best if you did some background research before going to any of the facilities. Also, get to know the scrap yard laws to avoid getting into trouble with the law, as the scrap metal laws in California are strict.
Several scrap yards in Salina we can recommend are Salinas Recycling if you are driving on South Main Street as you head to Springtown. They also have another facility located on 315 Commission Street. You can also take your scrap metal to A & S Metals on 456 Brunken Avenue, AMD Recycling Company on 324 Kings Street, and Vision Recycling located on 139 Sun Street.
Good cash for gold places we found are Salinas Coin Exchange on 13 Navajo Drive, La Hacienda Pawn Shop on 1111 North Main Street, Salinas Pawn located on E Market Street, and Tony’s Jewelry on Monterey Street.
