CMC’s the best scrap yard I’ve dealt with—prices are great, employees are all solid, no exceptions. I’d give them five stars no question, but they’re not open on weekends, and since I work during the week, I can’t always make it. So yeah, I’ve gotta go elsewhere sometimes. Other than that? Perfect. ---

I don’t come here often—maybe twice a year, just to unload a few soda cans—but CMC’s the only place I ever bother with. Dezmahn was running the forklift today, and I swear, the guy never stops. He’s zipping around like a man on a mission, making sure everyone’s taken care of, big rigs or little cars. I watched him lift these massive totes of aluminum like they were nothing, then turn right around and grab a bucket of small conduit. No job’s too small, no job’s too big. If something’s out of place, he fixes it on the spot. The guy’s got skills. Then I got to the cashier, Laura, and she was just as sharp. Asked who to thank for the smooth experience, and she lit up like it was the best compliment she’d heard all week. Places like this don’t get enough credit, but CMC? They’re the real deal. Yeah, the prices are fair—actually, they’re the best around—but it’s not just about the money. It’s the way they treat you. Dezmahn and Laura? They deserve a raise, a medal, something. And sure, I’ve picked up a nail or two over the years, but compared to other yards? Please. I’ll take CMC every time. They’re honest, they’re kind, and they actually care. That’s rare in this business. ---

Look, I’ve been to a lot of scrap yards, and CMC’s the one I keep coming back to. They’re clean, they move fast, and the prices are solid—usually. I’m docking a star because once, they turned away my scrap brass saying it was dirty. I’d stripped every piece myself with a wire wheel, no contaminants, nothing. Maybe the guy was in a rush. Whatever. I kept my brass and moved on. The other thing? The cashier always looks like she’s one wrong word away from snapping. I’m polite as hell—always say “yes ma’am,” “thank you,” the whole nine yards—but I get it. Some people are just having a bad day. Doesn’t mean I won’t keep coming back, though. Hands down, this is my top spot. ---

Got there 15 minutes before closing, and there was a line out the door. But the crew? They handled it like pros—fast, safe, no nonsense. And the prices? Better than my local yard in Kay County by a mile. If you’re looking for the best deal and a place that actually knows what it’s doing, drive out here. I’ve seen cleaner scrap yards, but not many. Worth the trip.

If you’re hauling a load to S & R, take the truck route—it’s the only way in. The lot’s gated, so you’ll need to buzz the office to get through. Parking’s tight on the side street, but if you time it right, you can squeeze in. The place is busy, but the signs actually make sense, so you won’t get lost. The driveways are solid concrete, not the usual pothole nightmare, and the lighting’s decent even after dark. Still, check your tires before you leave—nails happen. And if you’re dropping off a trailer, make sure it’s food-grade rated, tandems in the back, and you’ve got a hi-vis vest on. This isn’t a joke; the load’s heavy, and they’ve got an on-site scale with digital axle meters to prove it. Oh, and they’ve got a lounge with clean bathrooms and vending machines if you need a break. Dogs are allowed, but they’ve gotta stay in the truck. Not bad for a scrapyard. ---
