Took forever for the process. We arrived during "lunch" time.. we didnt realize they were closed during this time.. so we waited.. fine, no problem.. but afterwards, no one seemed all that excited or in a hurry to help us.. then it was very confusing as to where and how we needed to go thru the property to get the items off the truck and weighed,.. I had to keep getting out of the truck to ask a real person., finally I just walked along side of the truck while my Aunt drove as we had never been there before.. would have been better if maybe there were signs or maybe better communication from the staff.. They pay more than other scrap yards, but we won't be back.. not worth it..

Although I've been here several times to look for some scrap, yesterday was the first time I had to use the scale for weight. What I discovered was the scale "jumps" 20lbs at a time. As I pulled into the scale the red flashing numbers couldn't settle between 4940 & 4960. I sat there for about 15 seconds with it just going back and forth so I finally took a picture of the 4940 and drove off. As I excited someone from the "scale house" yelled for me to go back onto the scales so I did. Same thing happened but at a slightly slower pace. Fairly quickly, someone's voice came over the speaker and said "I got you, you're all set". I got the piece of grate I was looking for and was told I had to purchase the whole piece not just half. I went back over the scale which now read 5120. I was charged for 80 lbs. I had read other reviews mentioning inaccurate weights so when I got home I weighed the grate. It weights 70.4 lbs. Unfortunately I do not have a receipt or the scale ticket because I paid cash to save money on fees, etc ... The point is this: the scale is designed for large loads and when you are talking at least two thousand pounds of steel or other metals, 20 lbs is equal to 1% or less, whereas getting charged for 80 lbs instead of 70 lbs is 15% more. Other reviews speak of "getting ripped off" when selling to them which makes sense because I'm sure if I was dropping off recyclables, the higher number would have been captured and used first resulting in a lighter load being left behind. It is what it is. The people are nice but the equipment is what it is so just know going into it if you're only looking for a small project, it's probably not with your time. The prices I was quoted on 20' lengths of new angle iron are definitely way better than going to home improvement or a local hardware stores though!
