Cash for junk cars in Lakeland

5 Lakeland yards buy junk cars: each one either says so on its own site or holds a license to buy salvage vehicles. Florida yards need a title in your name. A car 10 or more model years old and worth under $1,000 can go on a derelict certificate (HSMV 82137) filled out at the yard instead.

About junkyards in Lakeland

Lakeland has nine yards, and two of them hand the cars over to you and your wrenches: Metal Recyclers and Lakeland Auto Salvage. Neither posts a gate fee in the records we checked. Metal Recyclers also stands alone as the town's only yard with Sunday hours, so it is the weekend pick. Got a car to sell? Five yards are worth the drive, because each either says it buys or holds a Florida dismantler license: those two, plus Iron Ranch Recycling, Ogh Auto Parts and Webbs Salvage. Only five yards post hours, and two open Saturdays.

The yards sit in four ZIP codes: 33809, 33801, 33815 and 33813. Six of the nine show a current stormwater permit in EPA's records, and five carry a state license. Come up short in town and the next stops are close. Auburndale is 6 miles off, Winter Haven 9, and Bartow and Mulberry 11 each.
