Overview

Taylor's Junkyard - Auto Salvage & Metal Recycling in Cartersville, GA

Taylor's Junkyard is a self-service auto salvage yard and metal recycling center at 740 Dallas Hwy SW in Cartersville, GA. Open Monday through Thursday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the yard sells used auto parts to DIYers and takes scrap metal for recycling. Customers can browse the lot on their own to find parts for repairs or drop off metal for processing. The business has been in operation since 1975, specializing in vehicle dismantling and scrap metal recycling. No appointment is needed—just stop by during business hours.

Services & What to Know

Taylor's Junkyard offers two main services: a self-service auto salvage yard and metal recycling. Customers can search for used auto parts like engines, transmissions, body panels, and interior components. There’s no online parts catalog, so you’ll need to check parts in person. Prices are set per item, and you pay at the time of purchase.

For metal recycling, the yard accepts scrap from vehicles, construction sites, and other sources. Metal is weighed, sorted, and processed for reuse in manufacturing. Pricing isn’t listed publicly, so call ahead at (678) 230-7976 to confirm rates before dropping off materials.

What to bring:

  • Cash or a debit/credit card (check accepted payment methods before visiting)
  • Tools for part removal (if you plan to take a part on-site)
  • A valid ID (some yards require it for transactions)
  • Vehicle paperwork (if selling a junk car—see FAQ below)

What to expect:

  • The yard is self-service—staff handle transactions but don’t help locate parts.
  • Parts are sold "as-is" with no warranties or returns.
  • Scrap metal must be clean and free of contaminants like chemicals or hazardous waste.
  • Hours are weekdays only (Monday–Thursday, 7:00 AM–5:00 PM).

The people in the office always remember your name, and the prices? Better than half the other places I’ve tried. It’s one of those spots where you can tell the owners actually work there—no corporate nonsense, just good, honest business. Always a pleasure to deal with them. ---

Drove in to drop off some recyclables, and by the time I left, I had a flat. Pulled over a few blocks away, and changing that monster tire on my truck was a nightmare—no jack strong enough, no leverage, just frustration. Ended up at Firestone, where they pointed out a huge gash in the sidewall. Three hundred bucks and two hours later, I was back on the road. Lesson learned: park farther from the dumpsters next time. ---

First time bringing in scrap, and I was nervous I’d get lowballed or stuck in line forever. Turns out, the guys here moved fast, gave me a solid price for the copper wire, and didn’t make me jump through hoops. No hassle, no runaround—just straightforward, fair dealing. Won’t be my last trip. ---
