York sits in York County, within the Upstate, and has a population of roughly 8,503.

By population it ranks 4th of the 9 incorporated municipalities in the county, about 7% of their combined total.

The selling process for York sellers
Describe the inventory
A short list or a photograph of the rack is enough to start. Tell us the wire types, rough quantities and where it is stored.
Photographs do the pricing
Four images per item — tag, jacket print, cut end, overview — usually replace a site visit entirely.
Review the evaluation
We return a line-item number with the items we are buying and the items we are passing on, and you decide what to sell.
Collection and payment
We plan collections throughout the Upstate around your operating hours, loading equipment and any site access requirements. We pay on collection, by the method agreed before the truck is booked.
