Junkyards and salvage yards in New York
30 mapped yards across 25 New York 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 New York
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 New York
Clean title, catalytic converter still on the car, no crash damage. Regional scrap basis $155 - $185 per ton, as of 2026-08.

| Small car, will not start | $255 - $430 |
| Mid-size sedan, will not start | $300 - $500 |
| SUV or minivan, will not start | $410 - $680 |
| Full-size pickup, will not start | $515 - $860 |
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.

New York 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 New York rule, with the source attached.
New York no-title rule
In New York the original Certificate of Title is normally required to transfer ownership; if it's lost, the registered owner generally orders a replacement (Form MV-902, about $20) before selling. Insurer-acquired damaged vehicles move on a Salvage Certificate (MV-907A) instead of a normal title. Confirm your case with the NY DMV before you sell or junk the car.

Certificate this state issues
Salvage Certificate (Form MV-907A). Note the scope: the NY DMV describes this as the document for a vehicle transferred to or acquired by an insurance company, so it is not a route an ordinary owner without a claim can take

New York plates
In New York, when you sell or junk a vehicle you should remove your plates and surrender them (with the registration) to the DMV - the DMV says to turn in plates before you cancel your liability insurance.

New York 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 New York 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 New York 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.
