About This Location
Modern Day Recycling Junk Car Buyers + Scrap Metal is a junk-car and scrap-metal yard on Route 72 in Barnegat, Ocean County, New Jersey. A family-owned business with decades in the trade, they buy junk cars (with free pickup), process scrap metal, and sell used auto parts across Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, Burlington and Cape May counties. This is a vehicle and scrap buyer rather than a municipal household recycling drop-off, so it is the place to sell an unwanted car or scrap metal, not to drop off curbside recyclables.
