First time here today. As an electrician for 20 years I've been to several recycling centers to bring in scrap copper wire. This place is by far the best. Pulled right in, the scrap workers helped me unload, they were friendly, I went right to counter for cash payout in hand.

Helpful, Friendly and Fast Service. I have asked many questions and have ALWAYS felt like they had the time to help me the best they could. Best price for your treasures too!

Helped me scrap a car even though I didn't realize I showed up right as the yard closed. Quick and easy to work with. Make sure to be there at least 30 minutes before close.

Very happy with Area Salvage...we needed three rolloffs for scrap metal, and everything went smoothly and safely. Great communication and very fair and honest pricing as well. We utilize scrap rolloff dumpsters nationwide for projects, and it's rare to actually have a scrap company this attentive and honest.
