Honestly would probably recommend trying another scrap place around. Came in here with a lot of copper and there was no signage or instructions posted. Upon finding out what to do it went fairly well. However when cashing out the lady was not very nice and I ended up receiving a worthless check. Of course the check bounced on a Friday evening and was out of $250 all weekend. Upon going up there they wrote me a new check with not a single apology issued. I will probably be going elsewhere with my scrap metal. Edit: Do not bring your metal here upon giving them another try I received a second worthless check they eventually made it right but just don’t even bother with them honestly.
