Cambridge is a city located in northern Boston, Massachusetts. It has an approximate population of 120,000 residents, making it the 4th largest in the state. Other cities close to it include Lynn to the northeast and Quincy to the southeast.
The city is a popular college town since it’s home to two world-class universities – MIT and Havard University. It is also one of the best places to live, thanks to its thriving economy and low employment rate. Initially, the manufacturing sector was the dominant part of the economy, but nowadays, Cambridge is home to numerous businesses in different sectors.
If you want to start selling scrap metal, this is one of the best places to start. Other than manufacturing, sectors such as education, construction, and technology are always looking for these materials on a constant basis. Scrap yards will also buy scrap metals at good prices.
There are not many scrap yards in Cambridge, although the market is vibrant. You can ask around for recommendations, as some of the facilities we found are not reputable. Some of our favorite places we can recommend people to are:
If you are around Ward Two or East Cambridge, a good place to take scrap metal would be Cambridge Recycling Center on 147 Hampshire Street. Although they have days when they don’t open, it’s a recommended place, and they will take most types of scrap metal.
You can also take your materials to Atlas Metals on 475 Columbia Street. The dealer opens every day – except Sundays, and they have friendly and knowledgeable staff. Other places we recommend are J Talewsky & Sons and J & A Used Auto Parts.
Good places to sell gold or silver in Cambridge would be Market Square Jewelers on 1156 Massachusetts Avenue, Pacheco Jewelers on 599 Cambridge Street, and Leo Carroll Jewelers on 1348 Cambridge Street.
