This place was very good to recycle at. Well that was before. A little over a year ago i still was able to take all my recycling here and I got a better price then the place across town. But I went here in October and after I pull in and try to find the plastic trash cans they used to have us separate them in they tell me that they only buy scrap metal. Not only did they give a better price but it was a little closer and they took more then the other place. Oh well.

BEWARE!This recycling center will take advantage of you if you don't know anything. Get quotes before entering. I'm a plumber and I was seeking a new recycling center for my left over copper and brass. Went in pretending I didn't know anything. Provided 14 pounds of pretty clean copper with barely ANY solder joints. I was given $42 😂I didn't make a deal of it... I just won't be coming back and giving my money to dishonest people. They DO NOT pay top dollar

Lyons is one of the best scrapyards you can find in the San Fernando Valley. They pay high prices; as of November 2021 they are paying $2.20 for clean brass, 60¢ for stainless steel and aluminum, and 11¢ for steel #1. Pretty darn good. Another reviewer was crying in laughter because they "only" pay $3 for copper. I'd love to know where he goes because that's a good price as far as I know. UPDATE: As of March 2022, they pay $3.50 per pound for Copper#2, $2.60 for yellow brass.Make sure you ask questions because you do need to separate the components in order to get a good price e.g. an air conditioner has to be broken down into hull, compressor, radiator, etc. in order to get good money. UPDATE: March 2022, they pay $.25/lb for a complete, unseparated air conditioner.The guys that work there are friendly and like to joke around (pro tip: a little Spanish can help you here).The other thing I love about this place is that they aren't too picky about things. I had about 150 pounds of aluminum; some was clean and shiny, some was painted, some had dirt, and some had steel nails or small amounts of iron. Dude was cool, he just gave me 60¢ per pound for all of it. As anyone can attest, this is NOT how most scrap yards work; they will knock you down for any little impurity (UPDATE: March 2022 now $.65/lb).In short, it's hard to do better (maybe the yards near the ports pay a little more) and many places pay much, much less than Lyons.NOTE: Their name says "CRV" but unfortunately they don't take bottles and cans anymore.

Was very fast and nice and helpful staff where very helpful 👍
