Very friendly workers. Super busy lot but they have a couple of people directing traffic inside of lot and they do a really good job at it. They also help you get backed into docks since the inbound traffic lines up in front of the docks to get on scale. As far as the lot goes it is kind of tight but managable and yes there is some debris on the ground but nothing to big as to puncture a semi tire unless you are running bald tires in which case you being too cheap to get proper tires is not their fault. Can take a little bit to get turned back out onto Cicero ave, just be patient and hammer on it when you see an opening. It took 1.5 hours total to get checked in, unload and checked out and they did sweep out trailer after unloading so that makes it nice

For scrap yard not bad at all. Well organized, helpful staff. Usually I don't deliver to scrap yards but this business is more then ok. I hope delivery will be fast and I will not have flat tire.
Out in 2 hours, clean trailer, no flat tire.
Thanks

About average prices, but better than most smaller places that only give you top dollar 750lbs and above. The place is huge so your in and out quickly. Lines are longer on the weekends though .

Just wow. Thanks for watching out for me and not letting me destroy my own trailer while backing into door 10. They got a system there it can be overwhelming at first but it works. Was loaded fast once I got a dock. Maybe 40 min wait for the dock out on empty lot around the corner 20 min load 30 min to scale and get bols. It's a cluster “puck” but they manage it to work to get back on scale. Takin one start off is waiting for bols took longer then to load.

I arrived 1 minute before closing and old man wouldn’t let me in. Definitely a jerk I came all the way from Ohare airport now going home with all my scrap definitely the worse service ever!! Waste of gas and time!!
