Huntsville-Area Scrap Questions

Does Thornton buy scrap metal from the Huntsville area?

Yes. Our Town Creek yard, about forty minutes west of Huntsville, buys from Huntsville and Madison County sellers every week. We are especially set up for commercial and industrial loads, where the drive is worth it for a yard that handles heavy material and larger volume. Walk-in sellers are welcome too.

Where is the closest Thornton scrap yard to Huntsville?

Town Creek, at 135 Water Street, about forty miles west along the river. Huntsville has scrap yards inside the city for small loads, but for commercial volume, industrial material, or a better all-around deal, our Town Creek yard is worth the drive.

Do you offer commercial scrap pickup in Huntsville?

Yes, and this is where the Town Creek yard really fits Huntsville. We drop roll-off containers at job sites and facilities across the Huntsville and Madison County area, run scheduled pickup, handle demolition scrap, and broker larger volume mill-direct. For a plant or a contractor, we come to you.

Is it worth driving from Huntsville to Town Creek to sell scrap?

For a small load of household scrap, a yard inside Huntsville may be more convenient. For a full trailer, a load of copper, industrial material, or anything by the container, the drive west to Town Creek is usually worth it. Call and we will tell you what we are paying today so you can decide before you load up.

What do I need to bring to sell scrap?

A valid state or federal photo ID, a driver license is best. If you are selling a vehicle 12 years old or newer, bring the title. Anything older only needs the VIN. We do not accept stolen material, and we keep records of every transaction as Alabama law requires.

How much will you pay for my scrap?

Scrap prices move with the market, sometimes day to day, so any number posted here would be wrong by the time you read it. Call the Town Creek yard at (256) 685-3727 and we will tell you what we are paying today for what you have.
