Benjamin's Recycling LLC at 1326 W Grant St, Phoenix, AZ 85007
Benjamin's Recycling LLC is a self-service auto salvage yard and scrap metal recycling center in Phoenix. Located at 1326 W Grant St, the yard lets customers remove their own used auto parts from vehicles on the lot. It also takes scrap metal like copper, aluminum, and steel for recycling.
Unlike other salvage yards, Benjamin's doesn't help with part removal or installation. Customers must bring their own tools and handle the work themselves. The yard is open 24/7, but self-service access is only available on Sundays.
Services & What to Expect
Benjamin's Recycling LLC offers two main services: self-service auto part removal and scrap metal recycling. The yard doesn’t provide professional part removal, installation, or vehicle disassembly. Customers must find, remove, and transport parts on their own.
Self-Service Auto Parts
The yard has a selection of used auto parts from different vehicle makes and models. Parts aren’t organized by year, condition, or compatibility, so customers need to check vehicles carefully. Common parts available include engines, transmissions, body panels, interior components, and mechanical parts. All parts are sold "as-is" with no guarantees on condition or functionality.
Scrap Metal Recycling
In addition to auto parts, Benjamin's Recycling LLC accepts scrap metal for recycling. Common materials include copper, aluminum, steel, and other non-ferrous metals. The yard doesn’t list scrap metal prices online—customers must bring materials for on-site evaluation and payment.

- Visit on Sunday: Self-service access is only available on Sundays. The yard is open 24/7, but staff may not be present outside of business hours.
- Bring tools and transportation: Customers must supply their own tools for part removal and a vehicle or trailer to transport parts away from the yard.
