Yonkers – also known as the City of Seven Hills – is an inner suburb of New York, located on the north of the city. It is the third largest city (behind Buffalo) in the State of New York with more than 211k inhabitants. The city is also the largest in Westchester County.
Yonkers boasts of having good neighbourhoods, a fantastic school system, and several notable attractions such as the Hudson River, Tibetts Park, and Hudson River Museum. The city’s economy, which grew because of numerous industries in the city in the 20th century, is diversified and offers numerous opportunities for people looking for affordable living conditions.
If you want to start a business, such as selling scrap metal, the city offers you an opportunity to make money on the side. These materials are in constant demand by the few manufacturing, construction, and technology companies found within the city.
Familiarize yourself with the scrap metal laws of the state before going to any facility. We also recommend during prior research to identify best places to sell your materials, as most of the facilities we found are not so reputable.
As usual, we did an investigation on scrap yards in Yonkers, and found several we highly recommend.
RB Scrap Iron & Metal would be a good place to start, especially if you are driving on Saw Mill River Road. People like the facility because the staff are professional, honest about pricing, and the services are excellent.
We also recommend Yonkers Recycling Center on 735 Saw Mill. It’s a good place to take all types recyclable materials. If you want to scrap a vehicle, a good place would be Carl’s Junk Car Pickup.
Good cash for gold place that we recommend are Pawn Shop on 633 McLean Avenue, Cash in Jewelers on 44 North Broadway #44, and Westchester Jewelry on 966 McLean Avenue.
