Junkyards and salvage yards in Florida
19 mapped yards across 15 Florida cities, 1 of them self-service - plus the number the listings never give you: what a yard is likely to pay for the whole car.
What a yard pays in Florida
Know this before you start phoning around. A yard buying your car as a unit is paying for the recyclable metal in it, which follows weight, plus whatever it expects to resell from it. Anything far below this range deserves a second quote.
What a yard pays for a whole car in Florida
Clean title, catalytic converter still on the car, no crash damage. Regional scrap basis $150 - $180 per ton, as of 2026-08.
| Vehicle | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Small car, will not start | $250 - $420 |
| Mid-size sedan, will not start | $295 - $490 |
| SUV or minivan, will not start | $400 - $670 |
| Full-size pickup, will not start | $505 - $845 |
Estimates from our own model, not offers, and not quotes from any yard on this page. Our own estimate of what a whole scrap car fetches per ton in this region - not a live per-state quote and not a mill index. A yard that has to send its own truck for the car will usually pay less than one you drive it to.

Florida paperwork, from the state's own source
A licensed yard cannot take a car without a proper release of ownership, so the paperwork matters wherever you sell. This is the Florida rule, with the source attached.
Florida no-title rule
In Florida, if you don't have the paper title in hand, FLHSMV generally directs you to first obtain a duplicate title (Form HSMV 82101) before selling or junking the vehicle; a salvage dealer junking the car processes it through that duplicate-title path. Exceptions vary, so confirm with FLHSMV or your local tax collector.

Florida plates
In Florida, when you junk or sell a vehicle you should surrender your license plate to a local tax collector's office, license plate agency, or driver license office - not leave it on the car.

Florida questions people ask
It scales with weight, and with whether the catalytic converter is still fitted. For a whole car that will not start with a clean title, the table on this page gives our Florida estimate for four vehicle sizes, from a small car up to a full-size pickup. Treat it as a yardstick for judging an offer rather than as a quote - a yard that has to collect the car will usually pay less than one you deliver to.

About this list. Locations come from OpenStreetMap (ODbL 1.0), snapshot 2026-08-23. OpenStreetMap is a volunteer map rather than a licensing registry, so the Florida list is a real but partial list - there are yards operating that nobody has mapped yet, and a listed yard may have changed hands or closed. We have not verified any yard's licence, and a listing here is not a recommendation: some may buy parts only rather than a whole car. Phone before you drive out. Cities are ordered by how many yards we have mapped, and yards within a city alphabetically. We do not accept payment for placement on this page. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors.
