Pulled in with a load, and these guys didn’t waste time—had me unloaded fast, paid me in cash right then and there, no fuss about checks or waiting. That’s how it should work. Jerry and his team made it simple, so I’ll keep coming back. ---

Drove over to J L Scrap with a full trailer and truck bed of scrap metal, figuring I’d get a decent chunk of change. Last time I brought in just a trailer load, they gave me over $70—so I expected at least something close. Instead, they handed me $35. I was stunned. Scrap prices have been all over the place, but this felt like a joke. Next load, same type of metal, same amount, I took it to a different yard across the bridge and walked away with $45. No explanation from J L, just a cashier who didn’t seem to care. Not sure what the deal was, but I’m done with them. Won’t be back, and I’ll make sure others know to steer clear too. ---

Trying to call this place is a nightmare. Never get through, and when you do, it’s like pulling teeth. Frustrating as hell.

You’ve gotta be careful where you drive at scrap yards—one wrong turn and you’re ruining your own tires. This place, though? Solid. They don’t lowball you on prices, and they’ve got one of those big magnet cranes to help haul stuff out of your truck. Makes the whole process way easier. ---
