The workers are very cool. My problem with these guys is they pay about half ,if not more, then everyone else. I called one of theyre competitors this morning, and they were paying $2.20 and these guys were paying $1.15. And when you have about 150lb. that's alot of money. What a joke!

Great service! Good guys. Way better to recycle and get some cash than to pay the dump!

They give you a quote of one price, making you think you are getting a heck of a deal, then pay you a lesser amount. The person we delt with was very nice, polite in the beginning, went to settle up and that is when they get rude and the real true colors come through. To many tweakers come into this place, and that just made me want to reconsider if I should have brought my materials there. But the quote of a good price and my trusting nature got the best of me. I will never come back here ever again. VERY SHADY! To the owner ...I know you read these and don't like negative reviews, but as long as this type of practice continues, you are going to be getting alot more in the future. No need for further discussion on this matter.
