I love this place. No matter how full the place gets they still make you feel like the only scraper in the world with the best scrap!

I'd say this the best scrap yard for non-ferrous scrap for miles. Some say that yards in the city pay a little better, but I can't really confirm that because I'm never out that way anyway, and the only way I'd go out there is if I knew the prices were significantly higher, which I doubt.<br><br>Their prices are better than Brock Auto, Wellston Scrap, Scrap Mart, and Didion Orf. Sometimes Scrap Mart pays equally on certain things, but rarely ever more. So this place is worth going to 99% of the time unless you're already in Valley Park and you have scrap iron and aluminum cans to turn in. This place doesn't take that stuff.<br><br>One downside is that the parking area is pretty tight, so going there with a trailer is going be a nightmare during their busier times. And when it gets really busy, you can often find yourself getting blocked in by other scrappers.<br><br>One other downside is they have a rule against breaking down material in the yard (which is actually a great rule), but it looks like no one ever enforces it. There will be guys taking up a potential parking spot just to break stuff down, and sometimes they'll just do it right at the scale.<br><br>They actually have a really good system there, but when they get people like that, it's easy for them to get backed up badly. I try to avoid going there any time after 2:00, because that's when it seems to be the worst.<br><br>All the workers and owners there are really nice, but I guess a little too nice sometimes with the lack of enforcement for some of their rules. If their only problem was the parking, then I would still give them five stars because they can't really help that, but having to wait behind some guy who decided the best time to separate his copper is right when it's his turn at the scale really irks the hell out of me.<br><br>So basically, just don't bring a trailer and don't go after 2:00, and you'll more than likely be in and out of there pretty quickly. Awesome place overall.
