    Arrived at 4:35 for the first time. Parked my van and guy in forklift was helping someone parked next to me and had dropped him off a bin. I walked toward customer entrance a forklift guy started talking to me but I couldn't hear him. I walked closer and he yelled for me to get back. I looked around to see what the danger was but saw none and he said to get back again. I told him it was my first time and again he yelled to get back this was a restricted area. I asked him what I need to do and he told me to go back to my vehicle and he would come to me. Whew. Nice greeting. There were no signs saying restricted area or anything like that so I went back and waited for him. A few minutes later he drove over and asked what I had. I explained to him I had some cans but mostly painted aluminum siding and gutters. He said he'd have to get me a couple bins and left. I started getting things unstrapped and was separating items and he comes back saying now I was too late and would have to come back on Monday. Sorry I won't be back!!!

    Trying to call for the past 3 days with no answers yet. Would like to do business but with no information about heading there making it impossible.

    Great place. The people working here are super friendly. You bring your scrap metal in and get paid for it in cash. I had an old riding lawnmower and they picked it off my trailer with a fork lift and paid me scrap pricing. They take all sorts of metals and recyclable items. I called to clarify a few items and the person I talked to on the phone was super helpful. highly recommended.

    Arrived at 4:59 with a simple scrap and was turned away even as a forklift guys was about to scoop my one load of aluminum extrusion I drive an hour to get here and even through everyone was still working got told they wouldn’t take my load ridiculous! Everything was already sorted and organized would have been as simple and scoop and drop on the scale done but instead got told to leave very rudely and laughed at when told I drove an hour to get here.

    Great place to bring any scrap metal; they pay top dollar for your steel, aluminum, brass and copper. Earlier is better than later in the day,so you won't have to wait in line. Great group of guys working there. Courteous and very helpful in getting you set up with dumpsters for the various types of metals.

    I bought a ton of equipment from the director Richard busby. Paid in full august 8th via wire transfer the equipment promised was broken and damaged and out of 50 units 11 were doa. The other were half were missing ram and hdds. Waited another almost month after and out of 50 Macbooks I ordered only 36 came 3 were doa was promised going on 6 months that they would make it right. Nothing but bs comes out of his mouth. He is a fraudulent and pulls bate and switch. In the process of getting a attorney to handle this mater. Would never do business with again
