I have never left a review for anyone until now .
I delivered 2000 lbs of clean sheet aluminum yesterday to them .I was paid a mystery number of 40 cents per pound. Last week I took the same metal to Pacific recycling and was paid .67c. a pound.... A difference of $ 534.00 that Im now out.
I hand unloaded a combined total if 8000 lbs of steel and aluminum and employees avoided even looking my way and this place has a entrance so steep it took out my middle row of lighting at the rear of trailer .
Over all, the the one foreign gentlemen I did deal with up until I was actually being paid was professional

They pay same day for copper, aluminum, all that however they also don't pay quite as well. Overall this is a pretty clean scrap yard with good employees.. I suppose I should say that there is one employee there that's kind of rude but other then him there all friendly

Normally, this is a very convenient spot for me to drop recycling. However, they are currently CLOSED for some reason until Jan 25th 2018. I checked the website today wondering if they were open yet, and it says "open til 4:30pm", so........... Would've given 5 stars if I hadn't driven out there for no reason, and redirected by signage offering 2 other locations that aren't convenient. I will be looking forward to reopening next year.

Always a pleasant experience . They pay a little less then other recycling centers but not having to wait on pay for non ferrous metals is a plus
