About this center

Alderman-Dow Iron & Metal is a family-run scrap yard on Chapel Street in New Haven, and one of the oldest in Connecticut. They buy and pay cash for ferrous and non-ferrous metal, including copper and brass, aluminum, steel and cast iron, stainless steel, lead, tin, pewter, bronze, nickel alloys, and insulated electrical wire. They also take appliances, automotive scrap such as catalytic converters, car batteries, radiators, and rims, computer and electronic scrap, and stainless kitchen and contractor equipment. Beyond over-the-counter drop-off, Alderman-Dow scraps whole junk cars and runs pickup programs for contractors, electricians, auto shops, and other businesses that generate scrap on the job. The yard has a public scale for weigh-and-pay service, posts current buy prices online, and pays cash on the spot. The yard is just off I-91 and I-95 in New Haven. Hours are Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM, and Saturday 7 AM to 2 PM.

FOR TRUCKERS: Friendly people but loading area is littered with metal. Of course this is a scrap yard but at least clean up the dock area. Found a nail and screw in my tires while getting loaded. Getting loaded 2hrs and counting. Best to avoid this place

Not the best place to get prices on cat. Converters do you self the favor and drive to a wallingford scrapyard I went in with an oem cat. Converter and was told 8 dollers for a brand new never installed 1 700 doller oem cat. Converter that I never installed due to the headgasket being blown.. and I mean brand new!!! Still has shine and everything so long story short I drive off go to a wallingford scrapyard and boom 120 bucks I'm leaving with.. this place is a joke and now I know why in my young days my family would straight up complain about this place cause of the way they pay it's ridiculous honestly they must've thought that I didn't know how much platinum is actually worth! Stay educated people!!
