Great experience. Open on Saturday mornings. Had no line and fast access to the dock. The guys helped me unload and answered questions. Friendly, efficient, and transparent.
Bee using this service for years never had a issue with being shorted on the scrap l bring, and always know the pricing as I can call there and get prices witch are updated daily ,plus the crew there get you in and done quick quick
The place was a little hard to find due to leaves on the trees. There is one door to back up to and a line of customers formed across the gravel parking lot. Once I got to the door Marshall was quick and efficient in weighing in the different items I had and I was pleased with the resulting cash payout. If you have copper to drop off clean any paint off or it gets classed as dirty and pays less.
How much is the price of copper?
Doesn't matter it's steel
This ain't steel
you got a magnet?
no
we got magnets. look at this. sticks to it. it's ferrous. steel. not copper
I have been to a few other yards but always go back to this place the service is great the people are fast and the payment is usually a tad more(Ymmv).
We drove 4 hours to scrap our computer stuff we had collected over the years. Was worth the trip for the education and helpful advice.
I highly reccomend American ZScrap for your one stop for e scrap
This was my 1st time going to any scrap yard. The crew were all really nice and helpful. This will be where my loyalty lays for all future scrapping. Thanks ASC!
Fast, easy way to make money and clean up that trash out in the yard that's been an eyesore forever. Environmentally friendly, why throw it in the dump when you can cash it in. Cha-ching!
Pretty decent place to scrap. As long as they are not in a hurry and all talking to the guy writing numbers at the same time it's great. I always go here ever since I found out about them. Much better experience than other local yards.
The guys working there were very nice and helpful. They were extremely quick about sorting things out! Small company with excellent service. Thank you.
The most awesome place around, family run, great bunch of guys they get you in and out quickly if you know what you are doing and have your metals separated properly, makes the job easy on both ends, but will say they are very helpful and patient if you don't have it separated. Thanks for always being so GREAT! !
