Brought in a truck for scrap. They told me since the engine was pulled from the vehicle, it was considered "incomplete" the engine was in the back of the truck, and still weighed over 4000 pounds. But, yet screwed me out of over $100 bucks, (I got $65 bucks a ton)
Complete joke, such a shame. I will not be going back.

Rather than talking to your team, say your sorry to my wallet.
I could never give them any stars behalf of their customer service was so obnoxious and disrespectful owner and employees Who was definitely given Karen vibes
The office staff are the best people. I drop off end of life small engine equipment. The money is just a bonus to getting ancient lawnmowers turned into something new. Getting rid of the mowers makes my community look nicer(these are those machines sitting in someone’s backyard creating an eyesore for neighbors and lowering property values) and it pays for the gas to help me pickup more machines. I’m not expecting the best prices, I’ll continue to come back because of the great people and usually it’s a relatively fast process. One thing I don’t like is that getting out of the property with a trailer is kinda scary, people speed around the road they’re on and it’s not easy to get out from their property at times.
For cans per pound is .18 cents brought in 8 completely full garbage bags of cans and got $4, nobody could tell me where to go or how to do the process and had very bad attitudes. Would not recommend coming here.
My complaint is I have a smaller truck like a Chevy Silverado and I tried to get rewaid and they gave me a runaround I will never go back to this place ever again I will stick to elk River recycle ♻️ I didn't get paid because I couldn't reweigh myself I would give you zero stars it will that was possible
3 Stars and Here's Why:
Pros: To start off with, service was quick, unload/load/weighing, all pretty fast. Staff in the yard was helpful and nice. Staff inside was nice too. Getting paid is quick and easy.
Cons: not the absolute best prices around, and I know prices change all the time but still, looking up prices doesn't take long and also to adjust them. Word of caution, if you have even 1 screw or nut on something like a solid aluminum rack or bar, that 25 lbs of pure aluminum is now worth about $1.25. I found out the hard way. They do not play around and will give the lowest option possible. Make sure everything, hell even any stickers, are off wtv you bring in. And when I say "they", whoever is doing the weighing/ticketing, make sure to check the ticket they give you very carefully. In comparison, RSI in Maple Grove took a few of these same bars I brought in before and I got a very good aluminum price.
All in all maybe just my first experience was lackluster because of the pricing given on one item but still, I wanted to give a detailed explanation. The staff is fantastic though otherwise.
$5 for 6 garbage bags of crushed cans? And couldn't even make an argument about it because he emptied the bin I emptied them into out before telling me what it was??!! Feeling totally taken advantage of!! Dint waste your time people! What scam artists!!!
Went In for the first time in about 6 years. Parking was a bit backed up but still managed to get in. The whole crew was spot on. Friendly,quick and efficient. Best yard in the vicinity imo.
Shorted.
I went with an amount of copper that I knew the weight of, They gave me the receipt to hand to the teller and as I was looking it over to see if things check out, I finally noticed it was 10 lbs. under what I knew I gave him and the man who weighed my material vanished the second he handed me my receipt. I just screw it and just let it slide but I will not be going back here again and I hope and one else who goes here is aware that this could happen to them.
Called and the lady that answered said they DO take speaker wire & old cords. Tim was very helpful on the phone and gave me pricing. I took a box out and was in and out in less than 10 minutes and have $43 in my pocket instead of $0 on the trash. The man who took the wire was also very nice. Make sure you separate single strand from multi-strand or let them know both are in the box.
Probably the most unprofessional employee's I have ever had the privilege of dealing with. No way to tell how they want you to use their scale. Was cussed out by the guy running the magnet, because of him not knowing how to use hand signals to inform someone to stop. Not sure how this place asks their employees to treat customers but I will be making the drive to another company 30 minutes further than what I do just to ensure that I won't be treated like garbage when trying to recycle my metal.
Went there with a considerable amount of large scrap aluminum wire. The people were nice but the price seemed low. I asked if it was correct and they said yes, This is what they usually offer. I called my usual recycling center on y way home and they would have given me four times the amount. I felt cheated.
Everybody that I saw there was kind and helpful. From the young lady that checked me in to the yard guy that led the way to the yard to the guy that cashed me out. My thing is if you treat people kindly they do the same.
The employees in the back are hard working stand up people. They helped me get everything sorted properly. The two ladies up front were another story. I thought I was lost. These two were llmf in a big way. They made the turn in the most painful and slowest they possibly could. And the younger one has quite the colorful language which is respectful of the trailer park she must live in. She should also try wearing a bra, just saggy gross.
Aweful place. No one is very helpful even after you ask. Don't bother showing up anytime after 4pm because even though they close at 4:30 they shut the scales down early. Seems very unorganized, not to mention the place is always a dusty mess. They don't even keep their parking lot clean let alone what gets into the street.
Shady and office worker was very rude. I had to go on scale twice and asked if they got the weight. I was told yes. I unloaded and went on the scale again. I proceed to get my check and was told they didn't get any of my weights. I ended up getting a check but got shorted for 30lbs of scrap. Would not recommend or go back.
I've been scraping here since 98'. Never had a problem. Easy in & out and get paid! I Kinda miss the big burly guy that used to run the loader, he was awesome!
