Been here about 5 times over the last few months with a variety of scrap metals from home renovations. They always have staff ready outside with forklifts for big appliances like a water heater or stove, which releases me from unloading them. You grab a cart and load up any smaller metals or piping. They move pretty quick to weigh all your scrap and get your price settled. They have an automated teller now so no waiting for a cashier after weighing up. Overall, pretty easy process.

Always had a decent experience at Express until today when this wiry guy treated me with great disrespect. He was very condescending about using the cash machine. They held onto my bin and then he tried to make me feel stupid for not making sure I asked for it back. I felt like I was in Jr. High School again. Shame. Used to be a nice place to visit. Not worth the aggrivation.

Revision of my previous review---5 stars is still my rating. I've been coming here for several years now, from the first time I went to a scrap yard with no clue how it all works.The staff are very helpful and friendly, and every trip I make is a good experience. They have a very smooth system for customers, whether you stop weekly or are a first time visitor.There are flat carts for loading when you pull in to park, and it's easy to find or wave to an employee if you need a bin. There are a lot of carts, so don't feel like its all gotta fit on one.Sort your metals as much as you can, or know how, but you aren't going to be ripped off for not being perfect; sorting just makes it faster for everyone.If you have no clue how to sort your metals, go inside and look on the wall for price sheets which list types.

Worst experience in years. Been in before but I go in just in case if things/policies have changed. Asked the guy at the checkout can I just bring in my bags of cans on the trolley and roll them in? He says sure. I go and start unloading on the trolley and this other guy comes up and tells me that I can not supposed to park where I am just as I finish unloading on the cart. It was where other cars were and there were no signs or anything. So I shrug and move the 20 feet and park. Then the same guy says I can't put them on the trolleys (which the guy next to me is doing as at the moment and I already did) and goes and gets a bin. Didn't want to start anything so I just start opening my bags to drop the cans in the bin. He then takes them off the trolley as I mention that I want to save the bags. He just looks at me and starts tearing them open with a razor blade. He tosses the bags on the ground instead of the trolley right next to him and then gets back on the forklift. There are still several cans in all the bags he destroyed and emptied. So I bend down to the ground and put those in the bin as well then clean up his mess and put the bags on the trolley. I filled up half the bin with crushed cans and he moves the bin to get weighed. Last time I brought in half as many and it was 40 lbs. Now a half bin of CRUSHED cans is only 20 lbs? Absolutely cheated on the weight and had to deal with the worst person in years.

I love this place! Quick and easy way to get rid of old metal goods and make a couple bucks at the same time. The place is run efficiently - not much for small talk or smiles - but you'll be in and out quickly, and that's always nice.

Super low prices on aluminum. Not worth the drive for $0.08 per pound. Two cents per pound on steel. They take advantage of people's good deeds by giving nothing out. I should have gotten at least $10-15 and I got 1.42 for recycling a bicycle. Better is to dump it and let them sort it out at the waste handling plants like they already do.

They screwed me over big time I had 10 pounds of #1 copper, 6 pounds of stainless, 5 pound of brass and 40 pounds of cast aluminum. They gave me my receipt and every item on it was 2 pounds or less i'm glad I didn't bring my trailer with a bigger load. I should have realized that the guy weighing my stuff asked me to stand away from eye shot of the screen so I couldn't see the weight totals.

I went there with five boxes of copper. One box out of five has plastic fittings on them so they take off over 500 dollars and only give me 400. Oh and they don't tell me they are doing this until after they dumped all the copper.

Been to a lot of scrap yards. Have not been to another one since I started coming here. Everybody is willing to help and they treat you fairly. I am a pipefitter so needless to say I get a lot of good stuff, I always make sure to kick a little back to the employees that help me out. I can't imagine this is an easy job for these guys, Scrappers can be rather unfriendly in my experience. Thanks guys for all you do and always making it easy to make a little extra money. It's also nice to know I can leave my heat in the truck when I go to the scrap yard as opposed to some other ones if you catch my drift.
