Reviews praise the professional, courteous staff (operators often singled out), short waits, and an organized, clean yard that’s easy to navigate. Pricing is viewed as fair to great. Customers note smooth unloading and clear directions. Complaints are few: confusion about ID/license and frustration with check cashing/fees.

Want to give praise to the crane magnet operator !! On Wednesday I made 2 trips and Mr. Tommy Coward was the magnet operator who unloaded my trailer and Mr. Coward most DEFINITELY KNOWS how to operate that machine! Not ONCE did he strike the sides of my trailer; never dropped the magnet to obtain debris and was super fast!!
He has percussion skill. Be sure to keep Mr.Coward around , he is an asset to your business!!
I just went here for the first time. Every staff member I encountered was exceptionally helpful and clearly communicated everywhere I was supposed to go. I brought in some scrap copper wire from electrical jobs. You can tell this is a big operation with a lot of trucks coming through, but I at no point felt rushed by the crews on site. I will come here again.
Was greatly pleased and thankful for their Service. They were very helpful, polite, professional, customer service- friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. They care very much about their Customers.
Had a great experience with Juwan, Chris, and Tom. Absolutely great crew of guys. Super helpful, extremely respectful and professional. Not to mention great to converse with. Couldn’t ask for a better place to come scrap. The facility well organized and works like a machine.
James Long was very helpful and knowledgeable when I brought in some non-ferrous material today. It was nice to have a friendly attendant who seemed engaged in his job and the customer!
I've been going to the scrap yard for almost 4 years now and their customer service is great. JD is one of the guys out on the yard and I've had many of enjoyable conversations with him. It's really understands what it means to be the face of the company
Great staff, and great environment. The roads were paved and clean so i never even got a flat. The employees were friendly and they were very helpful. overall great experience and i will be returning!
Prices maybe down but the staff is still friendly. Guys in the back were great directing me on what to do (shout out to Taurus from another Taurus). Woman in the front was very patient with me. Explained to me how to use the ATM very clearly and directed to me to the website to sign up for future promos. 10/10 will return.
I don’t post reviews on Google but this time I HAD to.
Came in on Thursday (December 24) and all I can say is that the people there were awesome. It was obvious that they were a bit short handed, even so they were able and willing to help me and got me in and out quickly. There are several signs around the place that tell you what you need to do, which made things way easier. There were several rude customers that I saw but everyone stayed professional and friendly. 10 out of 10 will be coming back here.
