What Our Customers Are Saying

					They are nice people and working heard. I have gone with my bike. At the gate person always greeted me with smile. Sometimes I see long line of cars especially on Fridays. If you want to avoid waiting the long line, you better go other than Fridays.

					Brought more metal (steel from dryer and patio furniture) on 05/21/2025. Apparently they do not buy steel. No receipt given. Truck bed load of metal with the accompanying going rate receipt. 05/19/2025.

					I have been going there for years and I've always gotten top service on slow days, busy days maybe even bad days they get you in and out and have always paid an honest price for my recycles. They are quick, honest and nice to do business with.

					I am a disabled senior & when I went there for the 1st time earlier today to recycle I went by public transportation. The gentleman who helped me was so kind he could see i had difficulty walking back to where my wagon was parked, he offered me his hand to assist me in walking back to my wagon. How very kind!! Nice young man!

					I have only taken aluminum cans, which I crush first. No idea if I’m getting a good deal. 🤷. This place is dusty, dirty, and noisy (which is totally expected), but efficient and well run. Expect a line.
