Want a completely honest review on this place? Got you covered, First, you will not get paid the amount they tell you because they lie about it right off the bat, if I could give a zero star review I definitely would. They completely lied over the phone saying they pay 30 cents per pound for Aluminum so I show up with a pair of Cylinder Heads and camshafts from a 2013 Mercedes S550 M278 Engine which 110% for a fact are ALL aluminum that I wanted to scrap. I get there, and not only was I greeted with an attitude I was flat out lied to and additionally got denied service, mind you I was calm, polite, and well mannered, they only pay 12 cents per pound for aluminum and 7 cents per pound for steel. The person wearing the white hard hat that works there legit does not even know the difference between Aluminum and Steel, he told me multiple times to my face “this is steel and I’m not taking it grab your things and get out of here I dont care” even after showing him proof in black and white that the metals I had were in fact aluminum. How are you going to pay people properly the money you owe them if you dont even know the difference between Aluminum and steel that is literally your job?Not to forget to mention the scale they are using there is way far off and the person working the scale just shrugged me off and paid no mind to it. Then made me pick everything up myself by hand and walk it back to my car which they made me park at the entrance and ended up with multiple cuts on both arms from the metals leaving me covered in blood for the 20 minute drive back to my house. After loading my car back up someone else was parked out front just getting ready to leave and said the exact same thing happened to him. I have never in my life had a terrible experience with ANY sort of business up until today, the fact this place is even allowed to pull this off is sickening, it’s scamming people, false advertisement, very misleading and a complete waste of time. Please, do yourselves a favor and pick a different scrapyard because this place here is not it.

We've been going here for years. Never had a bad experience. One thing the guy behind the counters got a smile once in awhile. But other than that I highly recommend this place for your scrap metal needs
