No signage
No staff willing to help.
I waited in the "follow the leader" line with pickup sized load of mixed metals,only to be told to "put it in the big pile over there"
Terrible experience. I'd like to give the place negative stars if that was possible.
This might be a great place for industrial level recycling, but it's a Cluster F☆☆☆ for the average Joe.

The only place I go to scrap. Why would I spend money on gas to go somewhere where I may get a few cents more.
Yes you have to sort to get the better price and yes 1 lower price metal mixed will give you the lower price for all but get real do the work if you want the better price.
Employees are friendly and helpful everytime I go. If you need help all you have to do is ask (nicely).
In and out today with 700 lbs steel and 80lbs of cans in less then 20 minutes.

I love the hugo location, some of the nicest people ever! I went at 1pm and service was so fast! I don't go often but this time had a trailer with a lot of steel from an old pool. I really appreciate being able to recycle it. Thanks NRI!!

I can only speak for myself. First time there. Couldn't have gone any smoother. Called ahead. The lady quoted me a fair price on the phone. I showed up a few hours later. Price was what she had quoted me earlier. The two guys that helped me were friendly and efficient. When I went to the office to get paid, it was quick and the lady was knowledgeable, sweet and professional. Ill continue to go back there. I see lots of reviews with lots of complaints. Ask questions people. Also, mistakes happen. To call mistakes "tricks" is slanderous. Anyway, if you've never been here and aren't sure if the place

Service was quick. I was in, unloaded, and paid within 15 minutes. But it seemed my load got smaller between the car and the scale and then again between the scale and the cashier. I wish I had "audited" what was written down on that little slip of paper!

Had a great experience there. I was wondering where to go when i got there. A nice guy came right up to me to ask if i needed help when he was cleary busy with something else. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Took some extra time since this was the first time i went. The gal that checked me out was so friendly and very nice.
