In Lexington, TN, reviews suggest a generally positive experience at Grimes Recycling Center: staff is friendly, helpful, and efficient, the yard shows upgrades (concrete, more buildings), and you can sometimes buy brass or find small parts. Pricing is mixed—some find good deals, but many note lower payouts than nearby yards. Organization is typical; equipment handling can feel rough; and lunch/break or seasonal early closures lead to waits or turn-aways. Overall score: 83/100. Based on limited recent feedback; details may evolve.
Always friendly efficient lunch for the office is 12to 12.30 don't go then . Guys in the yard are good they will hive you a sheet of prices and they shut earlier in winter.
The only local recycling center in Lexington. Every Other recycling center within 50 miles pay substantially higher prices for all scrap materials. I would definitely check the other recycling centers before selling. Other than that they are great people and a great place to do business with.
Grimes Recycling has made many improvements over the years, I temember when there was no concrete on the lot and very few buildings but the main lot is concrete and there are many buildings now. The price could be a little bettter and the operators could be a lil more gentle, sometimes, but it is scrap metal, I just want them to be careful with my truck and trailer. There are many good or recyclable items brought here and you can find some parts for your old lawnmower or your vehicle at times. The people in the office could be a lil more friendly but they are here to work and who cares if they socialize, we have to have a place to get rid of our unwanted materials. They will get the job done but don't go during break time or you will be sitting still for a few minutes!
