The prices here are fair and don’t mess around—agreed to 20 cents a pound for dirty aluminum, but when they saw it was extruded, they actually took the time to sort it and bumped it up to 45. That’s the kind of honesty you don’t always find. Oh, and the ATM finally works right now—it was broken for a while, but if they ever fix those awful potholed roads out front, I’d give them five stars no question. ---

Absolute garbage service. The women and guys at the scale? Rude as hell, no question. And don’t even get me started on the copper and lead—you’re getting lowballed hard. Won’t step foot in this place again, and I’d tell anyone else to avoid it unless they’re *trying* to get screwed. ---

Been coming here for years, and the crew’s always been solid—quick to help, no nonsense. Prices stay fair no matter what the market’s doing that month. One thing I’m curious about, though—do they take old AC compressors if they’ve been drained and decompressed? Haven’t asked yet, but figured I’d throw it out there. ---

You just gotta show up and figure it out like everyone else. No hand-holding here. ---

The service is terrible. The women at the scale act like they’re doing you a favor just being there, and the whole copper deal is a scam—you can’t even see the weight yourself, just them. Only decent person is the guy running the junk press; said he’s been there 15 years and actually treats you like a human. Rest of the place, though? A mess.
