They loaded me fairly quickly. The place is dirty and stinky but you'd expect that from a recycling plant.

Place was alright didn't have any serious traffic at 8am when I came in. Backing into the scrap ramps was simple with where they're setup. Turning around after loading is a bit tight though. Clerk was friendly and I got in and out in less then an hour.

Yeah dirty stinky. It's a freaking dump. Duh!! What did you expect? Grow a pair. If your loading bulk scrap paper Drive onto scale when you arrive. Check in at the window. The lady there is very nice. Take the paperwork she gives you to the forklift driver. Get loaded drive onto the scale the opposite way you drove on. Get B.O.L. and roll. Dock workers load you fast. As far as being hard to get around. Any truck driver worth a grain of salt wouldn't complain.
