Most scrap buyers see copper wire and aluminum siding as a commodity. We see it as raw material with a future. At Junk Busters LLC, we are metallurgy enthusiasts — we purchase non-ferrous metals not just as a business, but as a research and hobbyist smelting project with serious long-term ambitions.
We smelt, alloy, and study the metals we acquire. Every pickup contributes to our growing understanding of regional material flows, refining processes, and the eventual goal of establishing a locally-owned, small-scale regional refinery to serve the Nashville–Clarksville–Bowling Green corridor.
This passion is what sets us apart from a standard scrap yard. We are hands-on with every material. We care about provenance, purity, and process. And because we skip the middleman — no scrap yard markup, no third-party processing — we can pay you a higher percentage of melt value directly on-site, while you watch.
Our long-term mission is to build a small-scale regional metal refinery serving Middle TN and Southern KY — creating local jobs, reducing the region's reliance on out-of-state commodity processors, and building a sustainable, community-rooted metals economy. Every pickup brings us one step closer.
No hauling. No waiting in lines. No hidden deductions. We bring the entire buying process to your driveway.
Call or text 615-881-2505 and describe your material. We'll confirm the metal type, estimate the quantity, and schedule a visit — often within 24 hours anywhere in Nashville, Clarksville, Bowling Green, Orlinda, Springfield, White House, Portland, or Gallatin.
Our crew arrives with NTEP-certified portable scales and a reference to the current COMEX spot price for your metal. We weigh your material on-site in front of you, calculate the payout at 50–60% of live melt value, and show you the math. No guesswork, no black-box pricing.
You agree to the price, we pay you immediately — cash or digital payment (Zelle, Venmo, or bank transfer). Then we load and haul your material away. The entire process from arrival to departure typically takes under 30 minutes for standard residential loads.
