I will never go here again! After the guy got done telling me I had the best metal thats possible to be brought there (clean copper) he tried to give me $.25 cents per pound! Ha! What a joke. That's $3 less a pound then surrounding metal recycling places. DONT GO HERE THEY WILL TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU!

there's a little taco place right across the street from Denver scrap metal. They just got their little taco place set up. It is fabulous. I swing in and got a hot taco and it's delicious.!

Bummer that this recycling facility doesn't stick to their posted and advertised times. I hustled down to make it before the advertised 430 Sunday closing time and made it there with 8 min to spare. I had only a box full of non-ferrous metal to recycle but rolled up to a shut door with nobody there to weigh my stuff. The big yard was still accepting entire trailers and box trucks filled with metal but I wasn't able to drop the box full of brass and copper. I've promised my client I would return with our agreed shared recycle proceeds but because someone decided to close early I get to return empty-handed with an unverifiable story of the early closure. Thanks DSMR... I had to work all day...I guess you didn't.
