Review

I've been there 2 times alone and I am still deciding whether the 2 boys in the garage weighing area think I'm a not so informed female and taking advantage of me or if they plain just don't know there metals the first time I took a bucket of old heavy thick screws and lag bolts a huge full kitty litter bucket and a old old heavy brass lamp that was hard to lift and carry and they paid me as 12 lbs of aluminum.... 12 lbs of aluminum would have a large volume of space and not fit in my car.uuummmm Today I scrapped 2 old huge heavy tvs that I took apart all night and had a bag of copper from them on my scale was a bit over 5lbs the bigger pieces I stripped from a black taped up like cord that had the long thick copper inside so after I stripped all the wrapping it should have been type 2 clean copper they wrote it up as aluminum told me people get aluminum and copper confused alot and I brought up about my brass lamp from previous visit he told me the same thats one heavy huge 12 lb aluminum table lamp wouldn't you say so today got paid 7 lbs of aluminum I won't back a company that takes advantage of females or have employees that don't know there shit enough to be qualified for this job of peoples hard work cleaning up there scrap and getting paid incorrectly. Still not sure of which scenario is the truth here.
