Straight answers on pricing your car for scrap, parting it out, and verifying the buyer — everything you need before an old vehicle leaves your driveway.
Sell Your Scrap on ScrapTrade →Browse the FAQsMost scrap yards will not tell you exactly how they arrive at a price for your car — whether parting it out beats a flat scrap offer, why the catalytic converter changes everything, or how to verify a buyer is actually licensed. This site breaks it down question by question, written for someone about to sell, not a recycling textbook.
When you are ready to sell without driving between yards for quotes, ScrapTrade connects you directly with verified auto scrap buyers online — list once, compare real offers, and get paid through secure escrow instead of a handshake.
