Website implies they take TVs (E-Scrape). They don't. Place is set up more for bulk metals.

This place is in such disarray. Some lady yelled at me for saying I cut in line when I just arrived there. It’s hard to even know where to go, and staff don’t seem that helpful. It’s way too dusty, and they wouldn’t even pay for the items that were brought because they were closing soon, so we just left them there without being paid. Avoid this place unless you want people trying to run you over in the parking lot and yelling that you’re cutting in line. It doesn’t feel safe at all

Scale need to be upgraded, there should be transparency. May be display digital weight #. Before & after unload. So there is no questions of error.

Extremely helpful staff. They took the time to explain how to identify the different grades of copper. Payout was really nice and more fair than others I have been to.

I was looking to recycle some old pots and pans and a couple of kitchen appliances since they were metal and I didn't want them to just end up in a landfill. I didn't want any money for them so the process was easy. They took everything I offered, even things that weren't entirely metal like the pot lids and the food processor, which has a plastic body. The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is because when I got there it wasn't clear who I was supposed to talk to and no one came up to help me. When I asked some of the workers what I needed to do, they just brought me to the little service window

Very pleasant people, not usually crowded. Willing to help you find people who will handle stuff the can't. Old car battery cores are better exchanged with the auto store you bought the new battery from, bot otherwise good prices for metal recycling.
