  I've been using this place for years. Always been given a fair price for my junk. Employees are always friendly.

  I'll never go anywhere else. Other local scrap yards are crooks.

  Simple and fast. Pull up on the scale, unload where they show you and pull back on the scale then get paid. Simple enough.

  Well I pretty much got robbed at this place. They separated my brass valves. One pile they gave me yellow brass price (1.70)and the other pile they gave me brass breakage price(0.30). They gave me this because of a SMALL metal piece that can easily be taken off and they don't tell you this until after a check is made to you. I got robbed for $180. I will never go back to this place. They run a good scam. Not good for business.

  I take all my old appliances and anything made of metal here. They've taken everything. Anything that is aluminum, they will pay you for it. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They take a lot of hard plastics as well. Their website is accurate.

  This place is falsely advertises that they'll pay you $300 to pick up your car but then when you get it there they're they tell you they have to deduct 150 for tow and then another 15 0 because it doesn't have a Cadillac converter but they don't tell you that in the beginning they wait until it gets to their lot and then they stick it to you and you only end up making 50 bucks I would highly not recommend this place

  Easy. Drive in, unload, drive out. You don't get a lot of money for metal; but you can dispose of big bulky items, which is worth a lot.
