Thornton is a city located 10 miles north of Denver in Adams and Weld Counties. It has a population of 141k inhabitants, ranking it sixth largest city in Colorado, behind Lakewood. Other cities close to it are Westminster and Arvada to the southwest, Boulder to the northwest, and Aurora to the southeast.
Before it was incorporated as a city, Thornton consisted of farmlands. As the population increased over the years, the city’s economy continue to diversify, as sectors such as construction, mining, retail, manufacturing, and tech started to grow in the area.
We also investigated the scrap metal market in the city and found that these industries bring about the demand for source materials, which makes it easy and profitable for people who want to sell scrap metal, gold, or silver.
Additionally, there are many scrap yards in this area. You should try to ask for recommendations from friends and do some online research before going to any facility near you. We also advise you to call the scrap yard to know what they require and how they operate before going there.
One of the places you can go to is Colorado Recycling Towing on 1401 Solana Drive. They open every day, including Sunday, at 7am and close at 7pm. They will buy any type of junk car and pay cash on the spot. So you don’t have to wait for long to get the money.
We also recommend Auto Recycling Denver. They are a junk yard for cars, who also pay cash on the spot. They also open every day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Good cash for gold places we can recommend are Jumping Jack Cash on 8851 Washington Street, Thollot & Co. Jewelers on East 104th Avenue, and Schlener Jewelry on 10265 North Washington Street.
