It’s a scrap yard, but way cleaner than the others I’ve used. The people working there were actually friendly, which is a nice change. ---

Been coming here for years with 100+ pounds of #1 copper scrap, but they always lowball me by 60 to 70 cents a pound compared to every other yard in the state. They say it’s because of transport costs, but that’s a load of crap. Arvada’s yard—same setup, same shipping distances—paid me 75 cents more per pound, no questions asked. Even offered an extra 5 cents if I brought in over 100 pounds. These guys? Told me I’d need *way* more weight just to get them to *consider* matching the market rate. As of January 17, 2026, #1 insulated copper was going for $3.85 a pound nationally, but they offered me $2.70. After years of business, they treated me like some small-time crook hiding behind “operational costs.” If you want fair prices, drive the extra 40 miles to Arvada. I’d rather lose the time and make $100+ more per trip. CO Iron and Metal, if you want me to take this down, match the local average of $3.35. ---

Honestly, this is the cleanest scrap yard I’ve ever been to. When I first moved to the area, I drove past it a bunch of times and had no idea it was even a scrap yard—it looks that nice. The staff? Solid. No complaints there. ---

This place is a total scam, especially if you’re new or a woman. We showed up with a trailer full of aluminum, brass, and stainless, and some old guy sorting it gave us a lowball offer of $209.25—way less than what we knew it was worth. When I pushed back, the woman helping (Shannan?) was rude and unhelpful. Then I caught the guy separating our load into different piles—clean aluminum in one, the rest in another. As soon as he saw me watching, he backtracked and gave us a measly $22.40 extra. We had way more than $230 worth of scrap on that trailer. The front office lady, Marinna, said I could talk to management, but honestly, the public needs to know this place might rip you off. Why hasn’t the owner responded? We’re taking this to the BBB and the cops—this is straight-up theft. ---

Called to check aluminum prices since I’m new in town, and the guy on the phone was polite and gave me fair numbers. So I decided to give them a shot. Got there a couple hours later, parked, and a worker came over to check my load. “No glass on the windows?” he asked. “Nope,” I said, “no weather strip, no screens, no glass—all clean.” He looked it over, seemed fine with it, then brought me a container. I loaded it up, put the aluminum sheet in a separate one, and we both went through it together. Still gave me dirt-low prices. I’ve been scrapping for years—I know what my stuff’s worth. Need a place that’s honest and fair. The forklift guy that day? Cheated me. Good thing I didn’t have a huge load, or I’d be really pissed.
