About This Location

Brown Iron & Metal is a for-pay scrap metal buying yard and auto salvage operation at 4885 S 135th Rd, just south of Bolivar off US-13 in Polk County, Missouri. Serving southwest Missouri since 2011, the yard buys ferrous and non-ferrous metals — iron, steel, copper, brass, aluminum, lead and stainless — along with appliances, aluminum beverage cans, batteries, radiators, compressors and electric motors. It also operates a self-pull auto salvage yard where customers can pull used parts at a discount. This is a commercial scrap-buying business: you are paid by weight at current market rates rather than paying a drop-off fee, with payment by cash or check. Because this is a working yard, calling ahead for large loads, junk vehicles or current pricing is recommended.
