Great people. Super easy to work with. Will continue to bring my scrap metal here. Prices seem to be pretty good.

Tips for newbies: park in the parking spaces; they recycle metals only; if you have a lot of metal they will bring a mini dumpster to you via forklift; you get paid in cash; steel was 4 cents per lb during my visit. Staff was polite.

Vincent Cassano | Jun 28, 2022

It pretty much take anything that has metal in it, the problem is it's not worth bringing anything there unless you strip everything clean. If they have to do the work of stripping stuff and removing plastic and separating brass from copper and so on, you're going to get about a nickel a pound.

Mike Bobnick | Nov 30, 2021

No, they don't. Take your used books to a used book store. There is one on Golf rd in Schaumburg that will pay you for the books. Not a ton of money depending on the condition of the books and their popularity. Hope you can get some money for the books. Plan on being there a while as they check the books and their condition. God bless

Christine Schleiter | Oct 26, 2021
Mike Bobnick | Oct 26, 2021

No. What you can do Is get some cheap cat litter and add it to the paint and then put it on the street. They will take it then. The cat litter absorbs the paint to make it non toxic. Hope that help. God bless
