First scrap yard I've been to that had a macaw running the payout window. Tried to convince him to upgrade my #2 ICW to #1 but he just said hello and kept breaking pens.

Best place to take all you scrap. Offers the best and most competitive pricing. The owner goes above and beyond for his customers. Makes you feel like you matter unlike most places where your only another number. They take all types of scrap and he even has a web site which you can refer to,to get the latest prices. Employees are super nice and helpful. They are open 6 days a week 7:30 – 4:30 sat close at 2. I highly recommend.

This place is awesome. The Owner, employees in the back, all the way to the women who work the front pay desk are like family to me. They don't put up with rift raft at all, he keeps great records of what he takes in so don't try recycling stolen stuff because he will call the cops. But other than that he is a good fair man running a great business. And I recommend Rather's!
