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.

VehicleTypical 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.

Junkyards in Florida by city

Grouped by city, the cities with the most mapped yards first. The self-service tag is our own read of the yard's name, not something the yard told us, so confirm on the phone before you turn up with tools.

Would rather not phone round Florida yards?

No phone number needed - you go straight to your offer from our partner Peddle, and we earn a commission if you sell to them, at no extra cost to you.

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.
