At Guthrie Scrap Yard, we are a family-owned and operated business dedicated to providing the best scrap prices in Middle Tennessee and Western Kentucky. Founded in 2010 by Joe Pewitt, the business began humbly with Joe processing materials in his home garage and hauling them in a cattle trailer. Today, Joe and is wife, Hannah, continue to run the yard with the help of their son, Austin Pewitt, who is also actively involved in the operations. We buy a wide range of scrap materials including scrap cars, aluminum, copper, brass, appliances, catalytic converters, batteries, and much more. Conveniently located near Clarksville, TN, Elkton KY, Russellville, KY, and Springfield, TN, we pride ourselves on offering competitive pricing and exceptional customer service to our local community.
Joe is the owner and operator of Guthrie Scrap Yard, a family-owned junkyard. When he started the business in 2010, he processed his materials in our garage at home and hauled his materials to be sold in a cattle trailer. As our business grew, we operated from a few different locations but could not seem to find the perfect spot to open a scrapyard. After much prayer and persistence, the Lord opened an opportunity for us to purchase the property where we are now located, and Joe’s dream of owning his own scrapyard was fulfilled.
Joe’s son, Austin, worked part-time for Guthrie Scrap Yard until he graduated college. In 2018, he joined our business full-time. Austin has operated and managed every aspect of the business and is now co-owner and operator of Guthrie Scrap Yard.
Hannah, Joe’s wife, worked part-time in Guthrie Scrap Yard since the beginning but continued her career as a registered nurse until July 2021, when she joined our business full-time as the scale operator/office manager.
