Vetted Buyer Network

Connect with verified, vetted scrap metal buyers actively looking for catalytic converters, metals, and recycled materials. Every participant is a legitimate business — strictly B2B.

List your catalytic converters, scrap metals, and other materials. Vetted buyers see detailed photos and data — so they bid with confidence and you get real market value.

No Subscription Fees

Zero monthly costs to use the platform. We only succeed when you do - SMASH connects you with buyers and helps you manage inventory without subscription fees.

For Yards & Vetted Buyers

Separate dashboards for recycling yards to document and list all scrap materials, and for verified buyers to browse, appraise, and bid. Every participant is vetted.

Real-Time Visibility

Track active listings, monitor bids from buyers, and see inventory status in real-time. Know exactly what offers you're getting and make informed decisions quickly.

What American Yards Trade on SMASH

Our auction platform covers the full range of recyclable scrap materials processed by yards across the United States.

Catalytic Converters

The highest-value recyclable in most yards. SMASH lets you photograph, serial-number, and VIN-tag every cat so buyers bid with confidence on platinum, palladium, and rhodium content.

Copper & Non-Ferrous

Bare bright copper, #1 and #2 copper, insulated wire, brass valves, aluminum extrusions, stainless steel — list every non-ferrous grade with photos.

Ferrous Metals

HMS 1 & 2, plate & structural, shredded steel, cast iron, and auto bodies. Organize heavy iron into lots and let buyers compete for the best price per ton.

Auto Parts & Cores

Alternators, starters, compressors, radiators, and alloy wheels. Whether you're a full-service auto recycler or a self-serve yard, SMASH handles your parts inventory.

Mixed & Specialty Scrap

Zorba, Zurik, shredder residue, lead batteries, and industrial surplus. Flexible categories let you list anything your yard processes — nothing falls through the cracks.

E-Waste

Circuit boards, computer scrap, telecom equipment, and other electronic waste. Sellers photograph their loads and qualified buyers compete to offer the best price.

Why Recycling Yards Choose SMASH

No Subscription Fees — Ever

Most scrap platforms charge monthly subscriptions regardless of volume. SMASH costs nothing to join and your spend only comes from processing fees on completed sales. If you don't sell, you don't pay.

Vetted B2B Participants Only

Every buyer and seller on SMASH is a verified recycling business. We manually vet each registration so your inventory is only seen by legitimate buyers — not tire-kickers or price-check bots.

Photo-First Transparency

Every item is documented with a photo, serial number, and VIN lookup before it goes to auction. Buyers bid higher when they can see exactly what they're getting.

Built for American Recycling Yards

SMASH handles multi-state invoicing and domestic logistics. Whether you're in Texas, Michigan, California, or New York, the platform adapts to your jurisdiction.
