City Scrap and Salvage

Located in the heart of Akron, Ohio, City Scrap & Salvage recycles a variety of ferrous, non-ferrous, electronic and automotive metals. This includes sheet iron, aluminum and copper; cars, automotive parts, old appliances, hardware, computers, batteries and much more.

City Scrap & Salvage began operation in 1947 as a small, family-owned scrap yard. On Jan. 1, 2011, the business was purchased by TSB Metal Recycling, a wholly owned subsidiary of TimkenSteel Corporation. City Scrap now has an updated facility with the same core values and many of the same employees who have guided our success for decades.

City Scrap is home to the area’s only automotive shredder. This shredding machine has two, 1,500-horsepower Waukesha natural gas engines known as Thunder Pumpkins. From automobiles and auto parts, to aluminum siding, to stainless steel and appliances, as well as our industrial container service, we buy and recycle it all! We are ready to assist you with your scrap metal needs.

For three generations, and more than 60 years, City Scrap & Salvage has provided a place where everyone from large corporations to neighbors on their bikes can exchange scrap metal for profit. Come and experience our superior customer service and friendly atmosphere for yourself.
