Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an ID to sell scrap metal at SA Recycling in Chattanooga?

Yes. Tennessee law requires scrap metal dealers to collect seller identification. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID — a driver's license or equivalent — every time you sell.

Does SA Recycling Chattanooga buy junk cars?

Yes. The yard buys end-of-life vehicles along with auto batteries, radiators, and aluminum wheels. Call 423-756-6070 or email inquiries.Chattanooga-19th@sarecycling.com for current vehicle pricing.

Can I bring household junk or mixed materials to SA Recycling?

SA Recycling is a scrap metal yard, not a general recycling drop-off. They accept metal appliances and electronics with metal content, but do not accept non-metal waste, hazardous liquids, propane tanks, or asbestos.
