Today was my first time going to a recycling plant like this. I have only been to the city dump. Who knew you can invest in junk! Had 100s of lights from Christmas that were donated and broken and took them all there with a few artificial trees got some money a little workout. This experience was awesome and Cindy the employee working at the scale was amazing and super nice. Great first experience can’t wait to come back. (Maybe with some cans next time)
Lesson learned. Never go somewhere nearing closing time. 1st off I have 2 different tare weights when the same cart was used and even though i separated my items. The lady asked for ID, I went to car to retrieve it and by the time I got back she already processed all of my items and gave me a bogus receipt. I called and made sure what the prices of the items I was scrapping before I brought my stuff in. She just filled in a name on the receipt that wasn't even mine and labeled my 100% cleaned aluminum radiator as well as a few other pieces of thick high grade pure aluminum as "aluminum scrap". Also tried low balling me on my catalytic converter. Do not go here unless you know what you are doing and don't turn your back or they'll pull some shady stuff and hand you a phony amount for what you have.What should have been $30+ turned into $13. Welp I know where not to go from here on out. I recycle a lot so I'm sure others will appreciate my business and not try to scam me out of what I have. What happened to decency in this country. Blue collar workers should look out for one and other, not trying to rip them off.(You can see in the picture she tared out the same exact cart as 2 different weights????)
I like going out and picking up cans as my extra income and Allied Resources is paying eighty cents for cans! The business is well organized and they pay cash for all different types of metals
