I have gone to this place to scrap quite a few times but never an experience like this one. Granted i showed up 3:02 due to traffic The lady was super nice and let me in to dump(I drove 30min to get there) Unfortunately my load got stuck and when i ask for someone to help me real quick ALL i got was.... it's passed 3:00 we are not allowed to help.(As he was sitting on a forklift playing on his phone. I asked what am i supposed to do leave my truck here? His words.... Not my problem!! you knew it was passed 3:00 and we cannot help. WOW!! Luckily there was another guy willing to help me out and i am grateful for him. Just a sad way to do business.

They don't make it easy on a first time visitor and I may be too critical. My expectations may not be in line. Maybe they are understaffed. The reason I share the details is because there is so much room for improvement for a user friendly experience and more efficiency. There is no explanation on the steps you need to take to and where you need to go. If you are lucky you can find a customer to ask like I did. When you first pull up you have your vehicle weighed. After the worker behind the reflected tinted window that you can barely see gives you a thumbs up you then get in line for the next building. There was a huge oil patch at the next building by the way. However you are not done if you have aluminum stainless steel other metals and steel. The first building does not accept steel. When you leave the first building you have to go weigh your vehicle again. After you take your scrap steel to the very back of the property but no one tells you that because they all assume you have been there before. If it helps to know I would not drive a nice car there. It will get dirty. Dusty gravel on the day I was there. When I was driving I saw shiny metal pieces all over the place when you are driving on the property after the scale and the fear sets in real fast that you may damage your tire(s). There is no one to help you unload your steel items at the back of the lot and I recommend to bring a person to help you if you have steel objects that are heavy. After you unload your steel items you go back for your final weigh in with your vehicle. Now I was not expecting this type of place to be super clean. I was comparing it to some other places I have been before for scrap metal that were entirely paved/concrete and easy to understand the process. On a positive note it feels great to get items out of the garage and taken to place that will recycle the them. Rather than just put metal out for Rumple trash pick up.
