My experience here while trying to scrap 200lbs of nearly 3000lbs of range lead was a disaster. Our range lead is extracted every 5 years. This time we had to find another buyer so I started calling around. The secretary I spoke with quoted me a fair price for “range lead” at .55 lb. Not over the top but not under valued either. Hearing her reference my lead as “range lead” I was comfortable driving a hour there to meet and arrange for the rest to be picked up or delivered. I get there and set it on the scale only to be told that it would be wheel weight price. Why? Because there was some loose dirt that he saw. No different then scrapped in past but there was dirt so I took it back and went to rinse it off again. Returned back and same scale master once again says it’s wheel weight. Why this time? He told me because there was brass wrapped around the lead. He was referring to the copper jackets that range lead happens to have. Hence the name range lead. Then he goes on further to tell me that the buyers of this kind of lead pay less then wheel weight lead. Now he was making up crazy things. I became angry quick after now being told same thing. Remind you that the price difference between hard and soft lead are significant. Almost 80% less for what I was told that morning. So after looking for the secretary I had spoke to and failing to get any direction from the scale master I exploded. Employees like this will destroy what’s already a very competitive business and destroy it. Never should employees look to deny. Look to buy!! That’s money lost. Put in the effort to take in materials even if a little elbow grease is needed to make it happen. That’s why your there! To make money and not turn it away. So now as I’m leaving out comes the secretary from out of nowhere. Looks at the range lead and looks at me to call me a scam artist and that if I don’t leave she will call the cops. This lady was such a child and acting like anything she should. Then proceeds to be a liar and tell me she quoted clean lead and this lead was not worth anything. I mean she acted like I wasn’t the one that I had the conversation with. While she screamed and made threats I struggled to get my lead loaded back up and I left to never return. To the owner of this company.. If you want to contact me directly that would be fine. As a owner there are things you should know that I can bring to your attention. If not then good luck because these employees will not allow any growth and my projection there is closed in couple years if there isn’t change. Oh, I happen to have my MBA also and have several successful start up companies under my direction.

My review is in response to Mr Jackson J that complained about the type of metals and information he was given. This company is not locally owned. They are owned by Conservit out of Maryland and therefore have many rules they have to follow given to them by "headquarters" so if you want to complain to someone, complain to them. Thank you.

Clean convenient place in Perry County to recycle your metal. Most light stuff can be dropped in the garage area with several guys there to help you unload.
