Glenn W. Taylor started this scrapyard in the mid 1950s, buying and selling scrap metal and dealing in car parts. His grandson Lloyd Taylor and Lloyd's brother Scott run it today just outside Cartersville on Highway 61. The main yard sits 10 minutes and two turns off I-75 and works with two 70 foot truck scales, heavy metal shears, grapple cranes, magnets and a shredder.
The yard buys all types of steel, copper, brass, aluminum, stainless and cast iron from individuals, contractors and businesses, and it takes junk cars. Roll-off trucks and scrap hauling rigs serve business accounts and customers with large loads, but small amounts are not picked up. A second yard in Dalton handles business-to-business deals only and is closed to the public.
