The ECHO snapshot supplies latest state/local-reported qualifying activity: 2026-06-26.

Be careful coming here with your Non-Ferris metal. They will try to buy exclusion aluminum as sheet aluminum. They will also try to buy bare-bright as number one copper they’re very sneaky people there especially Roger. You gotta be careful with him. Also it’s a 50/50 chance if you will get a nail in a tire. Go ANYWHERE but here if you value your time and money. 0/5 stars if i could.

They are a rip off. I didn't have a truck and they was the only ones that would bring me a bin so I could fill it and come pick it up when come time to pay they said they didn't separate the metal. It was only .08 cent a pound I had alor of aluminum that would of paid me more also they complained about me not being able to fill it all the way. They dropped off another container this time when picking it up they said I owed them 150$ for dropping it off and picking it up fee they always told me there was no fee so they were trying steal my money. Why steal money from people that's just trying to survive. Yall should be ashamed being a business that takes from people that don't have much
