I went in as someone who just had a bunch of scrap metal lying around, not as someone who hunts for…read morescrap metal to resell. I went through the main entrance and got told that the entrance was at the home depot side, so I had to carefully back out and make my way. All fair - I have to respect the line and other people's time. There were 3-4 vans ahead of me and I waited maybe 20-30 minutes. The process was smooth as someone who's not in the industry. 1) Go in and get your car weighted 2) Get directed to a spot where you will unload all your metal 3) Head towards the exit to get reweighed 4) Get paid As someone not in the industry, I was just given the value of the weight in light iron, because they wanted to get me out and not sort whatever metal I had. Thankfully I didn't have anything valuable like copper. Unfortunately, the gave me 5 cents a pound and valued everything as light iron. I had a 100 pounds (or so I'm told) and got paid $5 for it. Not worth the manual labor nor the gas used. The staff here are pretty accommodating and will direct you as needed. Not the most welcoming but definitely not rude either. When I called, I was told they would sort the metal I had for the appropriate prices. No such thing happened. They just want to get people in and out.

I had some pots/pans that were no longer in condition to use due to wear and tear. Not sure if this scrap yard pays top dollar but I dropped by to recycle responsibly rather than for the monies.

At first I thought the guy couldn't make up his mind on where I needed to pull the car over in the lot. I didn't realize I was driving on and off the weigh station. He didn't tell me what was going on so I was a bit confused. However it was a very busy morning and now I know the process . I will definitely go again if I need to drop off heavy scrap metal . I recommended this place.

The person i spoke to at this company let me know that this business is new. I had an excellent…read moreexperience today with them. I called around 8am to try to get rid of some recycling items I had (a few printers, not all of which were broken, and some keyboards). He gave me a reasonable price to travel to Staten Island (the toll here is $16(!) and he charged me $30 for gas and tolls. This was very reasonable, and he was very fast (picking up within a couple of hours), so very reliable. The best part for me is that he will fix the broken printers if possible and give them a new life. This is where the name comes from, upcycling! Even better than recycling. Unlike taking them to a store where they may end up in a landfill or stacked in a yard in another country, they will be given a new life instead. He was also friendly and reliable, in addition to the aforementioned reasonable cost. I would highly recommend this business.

First step arriving on site is pulling up to an "alleyway" with a large scale. Truck and driver would be re-weighed after. Upon queuing up, the back of the truck literally opens up to a large yard of debris while "the claw" picks from the center. Bulldozers enter every other truck to push the debris towards the middle so the claw can pick and dump to a large hopper. Sprinklers are always on at the perimeter and water sprayed to control dust.
