Henry Feliz (1/5 stars, 2 weeks ago): Bad service everyone who drives the lift truck is crazy and the employees whistle when someone is on the scale. There is no signage that indicates it and it seems that the scale is rigged to show that. I don't know why the county doesn't check that and they have an employee who asks for money in exchange for altering the price of the metal that one carries. Apparently he doesn't earn enough to be asking customers for money. The owners should check that. This is wrong. I go there regularly but when I found a better place I won't go back.

Adam Johnson (5/5 stars, 3 weeks ago): I'm no expert but I routinely scrap medical aluminum and stainless and they have treated me more fair than 3 other locations around Brandon. Would recommend.

Bryan Spagnola (1/5 stars, 3 months ago): So right off the bat when I call them they answered then hang up immediately. Within a 5 sec window. I called them 3 times with the same result. It's already not a good start. I wanted to know their policies on hvac materials. Some places i been to require a hvac business license. Most require an epa card. Some refuse to take the cores... I wanted to know their policies before I showed up but I guess that's asking too much of them. I'll update this review in about an hour when I see what they say when I show up. Ok this was a miserable experience. I can't give them a good rating for a plethora of resone. It's more than I can even remember at this time. 1st they don't accept hvac cores without an hvac business license. The epa license wasn't enough. 2nd They didn't take my #2 copper plates (about 44 lbs of copper) because they said it wasn't pure copper? I have been to over 80 scrap yards in 6 different states this year and this is the first they refused them. Especially for this reason. Not to mention this place is slow and inefficient. They don't even use radios. They whistle to communicate with each other and then walk halfway across the yard to talk. They wasted a good 30 min shooting the breeze with a group of 5 employees before they came to my truck to process my load. Then their computers weren't working at the end. Had to wait another 30 min to get my ticket. In total I been here for a little more than 2 hours. And because they don't take everything I still need to go somewhere else to get rid of the rest. This place was just chaos. The guys are friendly but the wait I had to deal with and the confusion not only myself but others deal with was insane. I wouldn't choose to return here unfortunately.
