Real customer testimonials
Patrick B. Music
I watched them load the scale, 642lbs. They recorded 350. Then tried to pay me .15c a pound for my wire where another place 2 mins away quoted me .80c. Made the mistake of going here without checking first. They finally reweighed and fixed the weight, but definitely watch them. Won't go here again.
Kim Anderson
I would leave 0 stars if I could. I’m extremely disappointed. I went there today during open business hours and found a sign saying they were closed for a 30 min lunch break. I waited for an hour and called multiple times (no answer, and voicemail box was full of course). I also pulled up to the entrance and honked, but still no answer. I have not received a call back. Is this a real business?!

First time here today. As an electrician for 20 years I've been to several recycling centers to bring in scrap copper wire. This place is by far the best. Pulled right in, the scrap workers helped me unload, they were friendly, I went right to counter for cash payout in hand. This is my favorite place from now on and I recommend to everyone.
Andrew Friesen
Was a little confused about where to go with the first part of my load, but once I managed to figure out their organization of things it was a pretty good experience. Will definitely be returning.
Brittany Mohler
Says they close at 5…two days I've driven 40 miles and gotten there at 435 and they were closed. The four times I have been here the owner was an extremely arrogant rude person and his employees can all hardly communicate with you. Not to mention there is no first come first serve basis here they will let whoever throws their stuff on the scale be served even if the worker just watched them budge 5 people in line who were already waiting. Will be taking my business elsewhere from here on out.
