Hartford is one of the oldest cities in America and is the state capital of Connecticut. It has a population of more than 120,000 people – as of 2020, making it the fourth largest city in the state. The city is 55 miles away from Bridgeport, 31 miles from Waterbury, and 77 miles from Stamford.
Nicknamed as the ‘Insurance Capital of the World,’ Hartford has many points of interests to offer both locals and tourists. It is also home to the Oldest Publicly Funded Park, and the Oldest Public Art Museum –Wadsworth Museum.
The city is also a good place to start a scrap metal business, as many scrap yards look for these materials to cater for demand of manufacturing, research, and construction sectors in the city. You’ll get a good offer from most of the dealers in the area, and thus make a good profit from it.
We investigated scrap yards in the area, and noted that most of them offer good service. One of our favorite ones is Sims Metal – Hartford, located on Locust Street. They are a chain company with locations in different places in the country, and have good prices.
You can also go to Hartford Metal Solutions if you are driving along the Huyshope Avenue. The recycling Center is open six days a week, and they offer good payouts for scrap metal. The staff here are also friendly and helpful.
If you are around East Hartford, A&B Auto Salvage and Scrap Metal on 54 Wrobel Place is a preferred place. They take all types of scrap metal, and the staff are knowledgeable. Other places we recommend are Car Buyer For Cash CT and Demilo Used Auto Parts on Leibert Road.
The best cash for gold places in Hartford are Fine Gold on William Shorty Campbell Street, Lozada Jewelry on Park Street, and Jay’s Jewelry on 765 Park Street.
