Michigan Scrap Yards & Salvage Yards

While sporting a diverse economy, Michigan is mostly known for its automotive industry, with three major companies headquartered in Detroit and appropriately nicknamed the “Motor City.” While there is a large scrap metal need for production in the car industry, some other industries directly affect the scrap industry in Michigan, like aerospace, equipment, technology, and mining of copper and iron ore. With several ports along the coastlines, Michigan has a step up on the competition with the transportation of goods and services throughout the United States.
