Rochester Iron & Metal at 1552 E Lucas St, Rochester, IN 46975

First time bringing scrap here, and I hauled in three big loads. The whole crew was super friendly and made the whole thing easy. Rachel at the front desk was great, and then Dave—the guy inside—took the time to show me and my boys how to tell different metals apart. Dude was patient and actually taught us something. I’ll be back, and I’d tell anyone to go here. ---

Been coming here since we moved to the area a few years back. Know most of the staff now, especially Dave—guy’s a solid dude, knows his stuff. Prices are fair, and I don’t go anywhere else. Simple as that. ---

This place is clean, the people are nice, and they don’t mess around. Got in and out fast, paid fair prices, and they even helped me unload my truck. No reason to go anywhere else. I’ll keep coming back, and I’ll send my friends here too. Good stuff. ---

Went in today looking for a specific pipe size—told the guy exactly what I needed, even said I had a 10-foot trailer and needed it in 10-foot lengths or shorter. Instead of helping, I got sent all over both sides of the road, bouncing between buildings for over an hour. Finally, they led me back to 20-foot pipes—same place I started—and then hit me with, *"Oh, we don’t cut pipes, no matter what."* Not even for a price. I needed five cuts, and they acted like it was impossible. Wasted my whole day, and for what? Don’t bother. Avoid this place. ---

First time there, and I was a little lost at first, but if you read the signs, it’s not too bad. Dropped off an old dishwasher and microwave, and they paid way more than I expected. I’m not exactly in great shape, but the crew helped me out no problem. Way better than other scrap yards I’ve tried. Worth the trip.
