Great place to sell your old junk sitting around the house. The employees are very friendly .

★★★★★ Mack, Dec 2017

Family owned and ran business! Amazing and helpful people to work with! Please give them a try if you're into selling scrap!! Plus, the day I was there, they had a Bulldog they had rescued and when I say the dog was amazing, I mean, it's impossible to stop petting it!! I believe his name is El Chapo! A++++

Scrap metal and recycling center. They always offer competitive pricing on the metal you bring in. Generally a short wait when they open in the morning but the wait is only a few minutes. Checks they write to you are from a local bank so it's easy to cash.
