Junkyards and salvage yards in Indiana

19 mapped yards across 12 Indiana cities - plus the number the listings never give you: what a yard is likely to pay for the whole car.

What a yard pays in Indiana

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 Indiana

Clean title, catalytic converter still on the car, no crash damage. Regional scrap basis $160 - $195 per ton of recoverable metal, as of 2026-08.

VehicleTypical range
Small car, will not start$200 - $250
Mid-size sedan, will not start$235 - $295
SUV or minivan, will not start$320 - $400
Full-size pickup, will not start$405 - $505

Preliminary estimates from our own model, kept on the low side on purpose. They are not offers and not quotes from any yard on this page. Our own estimate of what a seller gets per ton of recoverable metal 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.

Indiana 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 Indiana 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 Indiana 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.
