Reno is Nevada’s third most populous city with more than 260k residents, as of 2020. It is the county seat of Washoe County, and lies in the northwestern parts of the state. Sparks is the city closest to it on its east.
The city is popular for being a tourist and gambling destination. Comparing Reno to Las Vegas, Reno is a perfect place for one who wants to gamble, visit museums, and enjoy the vibrant nightlife under the city’s pleasant weather.
Reno also has one of the strongest and diverse economy in the state. Although initially, it depended solely on tourism and gambling, the town has transformed into a high technology, mining, and manufacturing area.
Hence, if you want to sell scrap metal or valuables, Reno is a good place to be, as these materials are always on demand. There’s a good opportunity for you to make money here because scrap yards will offer high prices for popular metals.
We investigated scrap yards and we noticed that there are many available here. However, not all have a good reputation; so, it would really help if you ask for recommendations and read reviews like the ones below to know the best places to take your materials.
One of the places we can recommend is Reno Salvage Company on 301 Montello Street. The yard is easy to maneuver and the staff are professional. You can also take your scrap metal or scrap vehicle to Nevada Recycling & Salvage 1085 Telegraph Street.
Planet Auto Self Serve is another recommended junkyard. You can find it on 276 East Parr Boulevard, and would be a good place if you to take a junk vehicle.
If you want to scrap gold or any other valuables, good cash for gold places we can recommend are The Reno Gold Exchange on South Virginia Street, Northern Nevada Coin on East Plumb Lane C, and Premier Jewelry & Loan on North Virginia Street.
