The first time Im the one bringing scrap to you and you take advantage of me??
Well this woman is giving you her review.
Your guy knows what a radiator is and what copper lines are. Even though I didnt know they were on the truck, your guy did.
My husband and brother knew.
Thought I was being sweet by taking it in for him, and you do me like this?
Its only 7 more miles to the next scrap yard. Lets see how many times I talk him into going somewhere else.

When you call it said close at 2 on Sat. But what they don't tell you is they stop talking stuff in at 150 they need to change the message.

I showed up friday and saturday 15 minutes before they closed turned me away both days told me they were closed and very rude.if I could have got there earlier i would have.maybe they shouldnt say they close at 2pm. When they actually close when ever they want to. I KNOW ITS A JUNK YARD BUT BEING Courteous to Your Customers should be the number one rule

They are nice but, they dont pay any more than what most pay. I drove from Knoxville to them and they payed no more than local Knoxville recyclers. If your closer to them go for it but dont make an extra drive imo.
