These guys paid me a check of $9 n change for 300+ lbs of unclean stainless steel. They didnt even mark it as stainless steel. They marked it as hard to handle. Complete ripoffs. Do not take your metal there. Check the picture of the receipt that I uploaded. I also uploaded a picture of the equipment I dropped off.

I do junk Removal so this is perfect for me to get rid of cardboard. I get paid to pick up cardboard so I don't care about active recycling giving me 5 dollars I'm just happy my truck is empty and I did the universe a favor by recycling. This place works for me also I get paid to pick up fridges so this place is perfect to drop off. I'd rather drop off fridges here than dump them in a landfill.
