A metallic debris collection system includes a vehicle that has at least one mud flap and a cab. The at least one mud flap has a distal edge with respect to the vehicle. The distal edge is suspended above the support surface. A collection unit is removably coupled to the at least one mud flap and the collection unit is suspended above the support surface. The collection unit is electrically coupled to the vehicle such that the collection unit generates a magnetic field. Thus, the collection unit magnetically attracts magnetic objects from the support surface while the vehicle is driven. Thus, the magnetic objects are inhibited from puncturing a tire.
