The guys here actually know what they’re doing—no wasted time, no nonsense. They’ve got the scrap sorted by the time you pull up, and the scales for non-ferrous metals are right there, no guessing. Been coming here for years, and I’ve never once left annoyed. That’s saying something.

Dropped off a mix of scrap—tin, short steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and some old e-wire. Figured I’d get it done before the snow hits and makes everything a mess. The crew at Tourniers is always solid, and while the prices aren’t what they used to be, it’s still a fair deal. ---

Honestly, this place is a lifesaver. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the owners? Total stand-up people. If you’re looking for a junkyard that won’t waste your time, this is the spot. ---

Been going here for ages, and it’s always a good experience. The people are friendly, the yard’s well-run, and you won’t find a better spot for scrap. Simple as that.

Skip this place if you’ve got copper or brass. They lowball you hard, and it’s not worth the headache. ---
