Services & What to Expect

SA Recycling offers two main services: a self-service auto salvage yard and scrap metal recycling. The yard carries used auto parts from various vehicle makes and models, including engines, transmissions, and body panels. Customers can enter during business hours to search for and remove parts themselves. The business doesn’t have an online inventory, so you’ll need to visit in person to check for specific parts.

For scrap metal recycling, SA Recycling takes aluminum, copper, brass, steel, and other non-ferrous metals. They pay cash on-site for scrap metal and provide same-day pickup for larger loads. Businesses can also rent containers for regular scrap metal disposal. Accepted materials include:

Aluminum cans and sheets
Copper wire and piping
Brass fittings and fixtures
Steel beams and scrap
Stainless steel
Automotive scrap (engines, transmissions, etc.)

The salvage yard is open to the public during business hours. Customers must bring their own tools to remove parts—SA Recycling doesn’t provide tools or help with removal. Prices for auto parts depend on condition and demand. Scrap metal prices change with market conditions.

If you have an old car you no longer need, check out local cash for junk cars services in the area. Many scrap yards, including SA Recycling, buy unwanted vehicles for parts or recycling.
