Never stepping foot in this place again. The staff acts like they’ve got a permanent stick up their butts, and the scales are busted more often than they work. I’m taking my business to Premier Merle Group at 909 West Linden Ave. from now on. ---

Been coming to this scrap yard on Portland Avenue since I was a little kid—back when it was still called Krieger’s. Stopped by today (January 22, 2021) to drop off a load, and just like always, the guys gave me a wave and let me unload my trailer without hassle. They’ve always asked if I need help, even though I’ve got a disability, but that’s just how they are. Everyone there is solid—friendly, helpful, and the cashier’s always in a good mood if you’re polite. No complaints, just good people doing right by their customers. ---

Classic bait-and-switch. Had a small stack of clean #1 copper to recycle, called to check the current rate, and they said $2.08 per pound. Drove over, weighed in 69 pounds, waited 10 minutes in line just to get a receipt, scanned it at the machine outside—only to realize they’re actually paying $1.94. Told the scale guy, and he just shrugged, *"Get back in line at the window."* Yeah, no. The $9.96 difference isn’t the end of the world, but I’ll be telling everyone I know to take their business elsewhere. ---

Prices here are some of the best per pound you’ll find, but the employees? Total mess. They move at a snail’s pace, and they’ll drag their feet right up until the second the doors are supposed to close. Unprofessional doesn’t even cover it.

Called Northside Salvage Yard for a tow, and they’re supposed to be picking up my car in the next hour or two. *But* this is only about the towing department—because they’re a mess. Said they’d be here yesterday, then sat around all day waiting, and at 4 PM, they told me they’d come tomorrow before 10 AM. Called back at 8:40 AM, and now they’re saying they can’t get here until the afternoon. Oh, and when I told them four days ago the car doesn’t have wheels, they acted like it was no problem—until today, when some guy said, *"Oh, you must’ve talked to someone else, because we don’t send trucks for cars without wheels."* ---
