I love this business! I always seem to accumulate scrap metal from various projects this time it was from storm window (aluminum) replacement and mini split (copper) installation at my home. When my recycle barrel gets full I head to Atlas. They are super organized very friendly and best of all pay cash or check for both ferrous and non-ferrous metal. I also find they always pay competitive rates.

I'd recommend staying away from here unless you really love scraping .... they saw 1 piece of brass in 200lbs of Cooper and blamed me for not sorting properly... that's theft. I didn't want to sell brass I wanted to sell my copper I told them that before hand and instead of explaining anything to me they took my shit and blamed me. I've scraped here before and they told me to put it all in one bucket (it ticketed out as type 2) .... the inconsistency leads me to belive there are better places to scrap.
