Why Licensed Buyers Pay More Than Gwinnett Scrap Yards

✓

Catalytic converters: Scrap yards ignore this or price it minimally. Licensed buyers pay separate, market-rate value ($75–$300+).

✓

Free towing: Scrap yards charge $75–$150+ for towing. Licensed buyers include it free — that alone represents a major difference.

✓

Parts value: Licensed buyers account for in-demand parts (engines, transmissions of popular makes). Scrap yards pay metal-only.

✓

Cash at pickup: Scrap yards may issue checks. Licensed buyers pay cash on the spot — no bank wait.
