Iron Ranch Recycling LLC

4410 E County Rd 542

863-338-9350

Daily 8:00am-5:00pm

Iron Ranch Recycling opened in 2025 on East County Road 542 in Lakeland after its owner took over a longtime junkyard, rebuilt it, and installed certified scales. The yard buys copper, aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and brass at posted rates from homeowners, contractors, and commercial accounts, and pays on the spot after weighing. Junk cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans are bought for scrap, running or not, with free pickup, and the yard does not sell used parts. Florida law requires a photo ID on metal purchases, and car sellers bring the title. Excavators, hydraulic shears, roll-off trucks, semis, and a lowboy trailer handle commercial pickups and large loads. The yard is open seven days a week.

Scrap Yards in Lakeland: FAQ

Do scrap yards in Lakeland, FL 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 Lakeland, FL?

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.
