P & E Scrap Metal at 152 AR-17, Newport, AR 72112

The woman with black curly hair working there was straight-up rude—wouldn’t even give me her name or anything. And let’s just say I’ve been burned before selling scrap to them. Not worth the hassle. ---

The couple who runs this place? Good people. Honest, fair, and I wouldn’t take my business anywhere else. ---

They shut down for lunch way before 11:30, so if you show up after 11:15, you’re out of luck. Got here at 11:23, and the place was already locked tight. Had to drop my trailer and figure something else out—hopefully it’s still open when I get back. ---

P&E’s always treated me right, and that’s how you keep goodwill in this town. They’re fair, they go the extra mile, and that’s why I’ll keep bringing my loads to them. If I’ve got a choice, it’s P&E every time. God bless ‘em.

If you say you’re open until 3:00, then be open until 3:00. I called ahead, and the woman on the phone said as long as I got there by 3:00, I’d be fine. Drove an hour with a full load, pulled in at 2:55, and the gate was locked. Not cool. Guess I’ll just keep going to NLR instead. ---
