The cashier was super nice and had a great attitude, but holy cow, it took forever just to print my receipt. Like, over an hour. Not sure what the holdup was, but that part was a real drag. ---

Honestly, this place makes recycling metal way easier than it should be. You pull up, weigh in, drop your stuff where they point, weigh out—simple. The guys working the yard were actually helpful when I needed a hand unloading, which is more than I can say for some other places. And the prices? Better than anywhere else I’ve tried, plus the whole operation feels way more organized than most scrap yards. ---

I’m not a full-time scrapper, but I’ve heard this place pays the best, and after going a few times, I can see why. The first couple visits were a little confusing—you’ve gotta know where to go and what to do—but after tagging along with a friend who scrapes all the time, I finally feel like I’ve got the hang of it. Everyone there is friendly, and if you go early in the morning, it’s a lot less crowded. Wouldn’t recommend showing up clueless, though.
