★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Mackenzie Camp · Jan 2026

Online it says they’re open. I tried to show up around 2 PM. All the gates are closed and nobody’s answering the phone waste of time.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Susie Jobe · Feb 2025

Metal recycling yard. No paved roads, and there's tiny shards of debris laying around so drive carefully. Drove in a little to spot someone and asked where to put our metals. We recycled a printer, modem tower, and blender today. I saw everything from metal benches, appliances, computers, radios, to scrap metal everywhere.

I would leave 0 stars if I could. I’m extremely disappointed. I went there today during open business hours and found a sign saying they were closed for a 30 min lunch break. I waited for an hour and called multiple times (no answer, and voicemail box was full of course). I also pulled up to the entrance and honked, but still no answer. I have not received a call back. Is this a real business?!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Patrick B. Music · Aug 2022

I watched them load the scale, 642lbs. They recorded 350. Then tried to pay me .15c a pound for my wire where another place 2 mins away quoted me .80c. Made the mistake of going here without checking first. They finally reweighed and fixed the weight, but definitely watch them. Won't go here again.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Britt Mohler · Oct 2016

Says they close at 5...two days I've driven 40 miles and gotten there at 435 and they were closed. The four times I have been here the owner was an extremely arrogant rude person and his employees can all hardly communicate with you. Not to mention there is no first come first serve basis here they will let whoever throws their stuff on the scale be served even if the worker just watched them budge 5 people in line who were already waiting. Will be taking my business elsewhere from here on out.
