Was a little confused about where to go with the first part of my load, but once I managed to figure out their organization of things it was a pretty good experience. Will definitely be returning.

First time here today. As an electrician for 20 years I've been to several recycling centers to bring in scrap copper wire. This place is by far the best. Pulled right in, the scrap workers helped me unload, they were friendly, I went right to counter for cash payout in hand. This is my favorite place from now on and I recommend to everyone.

This company determines your load's weight in front of you, but doesn't show the number on the scale. This is not business like. I have reason to believe that they maybe using this to profit more than they should be. Taking advantage of customers.

Says they close at 5...two days I've driven 40 miles and gotten there at 435 and they were closed. The four times I have been here the owner was an extremely arrogant rude person and his employees can all hardly communicate with you. Not to mention there is no first come first serve basis here they will let whoever throws their stuff on the scale be served even if the worker just watched them budge 5 people in line who were already waiting. Will be taking my business elsewhere from here on out.
