The rules and pay rates have changed so much over the year's... Since Louis Padnos passed... it's NOT the scrap yard it was. It's often better to go further if you want top price for scrap

Overall a decent experience. The good: Got rid of electronics that have been piling up for a while and went home with $8 for my items. The bad: Attendant was extremely rude for this first timer at a recycling center. Will I go back? Probably not because of the rudeness by the attendant. Thought I was doing good by recycling but don’t need to be talked down to by a scrap yard employee.

My wife and I were shorted for 60 pounds of copper…refused to make it right all because it was close to 4 o’clock and somebody didn’t want to do their job. would have saved the copper for another time seeing how I was laid off from my job right before Christmas and needed the money to feed my wife and daughters 2 years old and 2 month old. Hate to be that guy but what a joke watch what you bring in and prices reflected. Poor costumer service.
