Took in a bit over 400lbs of scrap. Including old cast iron dumbells and was told.the weight is 260lbs. When I mentioned this they wrote the slip.for 260 anyways. Dumb bells are measured. Almost everything else was crowbar, pry bars, a lawnmower, etc. Got ripped off bad and wish I didn't weigh my own scrap so I didn't know how bad. Plus got paid below average prices for wire, steel, aluminum, etc.
This place must have been passed down to ungrateful and lazy family members, or they sold it to people that dont know how to run a scrap yard. Make sure you call ahead of time because a lot of times the website says they are open. Only for you to load up and drive there to find out its closed. Do yourself a favor and just go to York. Somehow York does it better, not much, but a little.
Good website, easy access to the recycling area. The office and work crews were helpful and friendly. They accept a lot of different materials and explain what is acceptable.
I have been going there now, for over a year.
A great place to sell your aluminum cans, aluminum scrap, copper insulated wire, brass and steel scrap.
They are fair and honest.
With the increase of aluminum prices and copper prices it's a good time to sell.
They also take corrugated cardboard and paper board.
They don't pay you for the cardboard, but they take it off your hands.
Over $300.00 they pay you with a check.
They have signs at the different bays for where the scrap gets weigh.
The staff is friendly.
Best scrap yard in the area.
Very nice personable staff still paying cash . Easy unload and lot was not a tire trap. Good steel price and standard for bright copper around 3.00 per lb.
Scrapped brass, copper, lead, and mild steel. All prices better than competitors in York and Shrewsbury currently. Scales were also accurate against weights taken before at home for the brass, lead, and copper
To anyone hauling their hard earned steel in here please ask what they pay first. I made the mistake of figuring most yards pay about the same. Just today took a load to prospect. A washer a oven and a vending machine got me 90 bucks. Ive got nothing against capitalism but I'm looking out for my steel scrapping buddies. 12 per hundred is what prospect is paying. Easy in and out with cash in your hand 99 percent of the time.
This place is the best. They take almost everything except trash and garbage. The people who man the “station” are very helpful and particularly with seniors.
Does not give you cash ,you get a check and you will also get ripped off...you can get 2 or 3 times the amount at other places. Almost 140 lbs of copper and got 150 dollars RIP off...also they have it set up where you have no idea what your gonna get paid till after they take the metal away and you stand in line in another office so it's to late to turn back at that point.
Fast efficient service. Short line today. They took me at 11:40 even though they closed at noon. Spotless parking area and driveway. No public restrooms. Mask required. Cash payment. License required.
I am an electrician and I know the difference between copper as well as national average prices, this place has no idea what they are doing or they are just ripping people off on purpose. #1 copper gets on average $2.20 per lb but this place tries to give you $1.04 per lb. I’m surprised they’re still in business.
Staff doesn't know difference between insulated copper wire types. They mixed my THHN with my TW and gave me all TW price. Has happened to other people I know also. Rip off.
