City Recycling is a scrap metal yard on Fishfry Street in Hartford, part of the Connecticut Scrap family of yards. They buy ferrous and non-ferrous metal by weight at competitive, market-based prices and hand you a certified scale ticket showing the gross, tare, and net weight on every load. A big part of the business is junk vehicles: they buy cars, trucks, trailers, and equipment in any condition, running or not, pay cash, and will tow junk cars away for free. On the metal side they take the full range of scrap, including copper, aluminum, brass, steel and cast iron, stainless steel, insulated wire, and batteries, with no load too big or too small. City Recycling serves Hartford and surrounding towns such as West Hartford, East Hartford, Manchester, Glastonbury, Newington, and Windsor. The yard is open Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM, and Saturday 7 AM to 2:30 PM. Call (860) 522-9273 for current scrap prices or to arrange a junk car pickup.

Scrap Yards in Hartford: FAQ

Do scrap yards in Hartford, CT pay cash?

Many states restrict cash payment for scrap metal, especially copper and catalytic converters, and require a photo ID and a waiting period. Expect a check or electronic payment at some yards. Call ahead to confirm how a yard pays.

What do I need to bring to sell scrap metal?

Bring a valid government photo ID. Many states also require a vehicle plate number and, for some items, proof of ownership. Separate metals by type before you go, since mixed loads are paid at the lowest grade.

How are scrap prices set in Hartford, CT?

Yards price scrap by the pound or ton, based on commodity markets such as COMEX copper, minus their processing costs. Prices change daily, so call two or three yards before selling a large load.
