Alter Metal Recycling - North Little Rock at 4500 W Bethany Rd, North Little Rock, AR 72117

Stop at the sign, check in. Then scale and check in *again* at Door 1. Four hours later, I’m finally loaded with 10 pallets. That’s it. That’s the whole review. ---

Been bringing my aluminum cans here for years, and it’s always the same simple routine: drive up, drive in, drop off, get paid. No fuss, no waiting around. If only everything in life were this straightforward. ---

Honestly, the whole process here is smoother than I expected. You pull up to the stop sign, and before you even put it in park, someone’s already walking over to help. Then it’s weigh-in, and while you’re waiting, another person shows up to point you toward the docks—usually the ones on the left, which you can spot from the scale. After that, you back in, slide your tandems, and head to Dock 1, where you’ll find a small door leading to the shipping office. Just grab your load number and license, and you’re good to go. Once you’re loaded, someone comes out to seal you up, you weigh out again, and then you’re told to park on the side of the road while you walk back inside for your paperwork. The whole time, from the gate to the scale to the office, everyone’s friendly and on top of things. It’s the kind of place that makes you think, *Why isn’t every yard this easy to work with?* Seriously, keep up the good work—drivers like us appreciate it. ---

Six hours. I’ve been sitting here for *six hours*, and they still haven’t even started loading my truck. Not a single update, not a single apology—just me, my rig, and a whole lot of wasted time. ---

This place is a disaster. The lot’s so tight you’re basically playing bumper cars just to get through, and half the time, you’re lucky if you don’t pick up a flat tire from the potholes. Then there’s the local drivers who think they own the road, cutting you off like you’re not even there. Took me over three hours just to get loaded, and that’s *before* you have to weigh out, park on the street, and then hike all the way back inside for your paperwork. No bathrooms, no organization, just chaos. Avoid if you can.
