Seems to be the highest price for steel in the area, bulk steel scrap seems to be their specialty. Drive up onto the scale weigh the whole vehicle, go to the scrap mountain, backup and dump your bulk on hr ground, put your higher end back in your truck and weigh again. Then you can go to the building to weigh the smaller breakdown and or get cashed out. It's a fast process never a wait to dump bulk which is great. Other yards give you an individual box to go up and that takes longer to wait. For the smaller breakdown like higher end metals (copper brass wire) there's other yards that are higher price than here. A yard i used to go to in the west suburbs has their prices itemized on a white board by the scale so you were not clueless at what everything is worth, I wish these city yards would post their prices just like that so everyone knows. The only way to find out is to get weighed and you see the receipt after. So I suggest take a small amount of high end stuff to multiple yards and see who pays the most. I used to be loyal to one specific yard now I go where the most payout is for each item.

They are BY FAR THE FAIREST PRICES THAT I KNOW OF.. THEY SEPERATE ALL THE BIG MONEY SCRAP AND EVEN GIVE YOU MORE THAN JUST SCRAP PRICES FOR CONDENSORS AND COMPRESSORS MOST SCRAP YARDS WILL TELL YOU THEY AREN'T WORTH ANYTHING BUT SCRAP.. NOT THEM..ITS WORTH THE TRIP IF YOU WANT WHAT YOU DESERVE AND NOT GET SCREWED. BEST SCRAP YARD ON WEST SIDE.. TAKE MY WORD
