Express Metals - Recycling Center in Hopkins, MN

Very convenient shop. The entrance is in a good spot where traffic is light enough to make for easy turns until the parking lot. The recycling facility is straight in and past the gates. It's the last bump out of the building before the building ends. The crew is straight forward and nice. I was approached within 3 minutes of waking in the main doors. Since I hadn't been there before they told me to wait by my car for the forklift operator who would bring me a bin. The forklift operator was cordial and asked me what kinds of recycling I had and I showed him my vehicle and soon enough there was a bin sized just for me at my truck. He gave me a magnet that I got to keep that I used to find out that the body of the bike I was bringing in was actually aluminum oh duh I thought. Then they weighed my steel and iron and told me to go inside to have my aluminum weighed. There they printed out a receipt with a huge bar code on it. I walked over to the machine and scanned the bar code and bang there was my cash. Super straight forward and slick. Will go again.

Dropped off a cast iron tub. Simple easy process and helpful cats that got me in and out in a matter of minutes.
