We drove here to drop off some old furniture, etc. and we were warned that we might have a long wait because the Covid quarantine was inspiring everyone to Marie Kondo their homes and simplify and declutter!

I won't "waste" your time with all the stuff we dumped... but we were pleased that when we got there, there was no line! Some of my friends told me they waited 1 1/2 hours! We drove right through! We weren't charged either so it was a flawless experience! Well, enough "trash" talk!

Out of all the scrap metal yards in the Richmond area, I like going here the best. Once you pull…read moreacross the scales, they direct you to a covered unloading area where they will actually unload you. It's quick and easy. If you have copper or aluminum, this is the place to go, but I will say that if you have a lot of steel or cast iron, you should probably go somewhere else, because I don't think that they pay as much for these items as some of the other yards. That's my opinion, but you can always call around first to see who has the best price. At any rate, it's a good family owned business that I would recommend.

It's been a few years since my original review, they still get five stars from me. It's a recycling…read morecenter so it's dirty, it's loud, it's busy, it's confusing, they close early (3:45PM), they aren't open weekends, the location can be difficult to get into or out of (depending on traffic), etc... So why the five star rating? They pay good money for your scrap metal and it's relatively quick and easy. I've been here several times over the years. My wife saves all our aluminum cans (crushed and in large trash bags) and other metal scraps. On my most recent visit I had half a dozen or so large trash bags of crushed aluminum cans and some miscellaneous aluminum pieces that netted me about $30. On my previous trip I had cans and some old gutters which got me $44. Okay, you're not going to get rich on this but it makes a difference. The whole experience is pretty quick and painless as it usually takes me about an hour to load the truck, drive to recycling center, unload, get paid and return home. Not a bad payout for minimal effort. The yard is set back from S. Military Hwy. in Chesapeake just east of the Gilmerton Bridge. After you turn off S. Military into the business you will be mostly driving on dirt so don't head over there after a fresh wash job on your truck. Pull up on the scales and give the attendant your name then head into the yard. Make sure you are wearing a face mask or they won't let you in as they have COVID protocols in place. If you aren't familiar be sure to ask the attendant what to do. The attendant will ask you what type of scrap you have then direct you to the appropriate area where you will have to wait for another employee to assist you. It's all pretty quick and painless. You unload your scrap as directed, fear not as they will help you if you need or desire assistance. After you've unloaded just head to the inside scale area as directed where they will weigh your scrap then direct you into the office where you will show the attendant your ID then receive your cash. From there just get back into your vehicle and exit the yard. It's just that easy. All the employees I've dealt with on my visits have been pleasant and very helpful so you don't have to worry about not knowing what to do when you get there. I think it's great to have this facility available where we can get rid of some scrap and get a few dollars. Thank you Elizabeth River Recycling for making it so easy.
