Look, I don’t like writing bad stuff about places, but I’ve got to be straight here. First time I brought in copper, I got paid way less than I should’ve. Figured maybe it was a one-time thing, so I came back a month later with copper I’d weighed and checked myself. Put it on their scale, and it read way lighter than at home. I called them out on it, and the guy tried to play it off like an honest mistake—until I made him tare the scale with nothing on it, and it still showed negative weight. Then he tried weighing it again but left empty buckets on the scale first, like I wouldn’t notice. When I pointed it out, he acted like it was no big deal, but the whole thing stinks. One bad weigh? Maybe an accident. Twice? That’s just sloppy. Three times? That’s not incompetence—that’s stealing. And I’m not the only one who’s seen it. There aren’t a ton of options around, but that doesn’t mean you get to cheat people. ---

I’ve been coming here for about a year now, and I don’t know what I’d do without this place. The staff is always friendly, never in a rush, and they actually care about helping you out. I toss scrap metal their way pretty much every week, and they’re always giving me new tips on how to make a little extra with aluminum or copper. It’s not just a drop-off spot—it’s like they’re in the business of helping *you* make money too. ---

Been bringing my scrap here for 30 years, and I still don’t have a single complaint. The place is clean, the people are nice, and Joel? That guy’s fast—gets you weighed and out the door before you even realize it. They don’t just take your metal, though. They’ll actually sit down and tell you what you’ve got, what’s worth more, and how to squeeze a little extra cash out of your next haul. If you’ve got old junk lying around, this is a solid way to turn it into pocket money without much effort. ---

I swear, this place is my go-to for scrap. The employees are always polite, never rushed, and they actually take the time to explain how to get the most out of what you bring in. Joel’s a great guy to chat with—always knows what’s worth what and gives solid advice. I’m here at least once a week, and I’ve never once left feeling like I got the short end of the stick. If you’re looking for a place that treats you fair and helps you make a little cash on the side, this is it.

Honestly, this place is the best spot in the whole valley if you’ve got scrap metal to get rid of. The crew treats you right—no nonsense, just good service. And they don’t just leave you hanging with a truck full of junk; they’ve got those big machines to help unload it for you. Oh, and the pay? Top dollar, every time. No surprises, no lowballing. Just fair cash for your scrap. ---
