I come here multiple times a week and easily get paid hundreds of dollars in scrap steel/aluminum. Pull into a parking spot, they bring a large bin to the back of your vehicle, at that point all YOU have to do is toss your steel, copper and aluminum in separate bins. They weigh the bins, and you get paid. simple as that. If you can't unload your items yourself, bring a friend. They're already plenty busy. Using these services not only keeps waste out of the landfill, but also saves you a ton of money on disposal fees!

I was a K&K customer long before they were K&K.. back when they were Kirschbaum & Krupp when my…read moregrandfather would bring me as a young kid to turn in our aluminum cans and other scrap metal. Which is why I as growing up and becoming an adult TRUSTED and felt RESPECTED as the employees working the yard and the girls in the office made it a pleasant experience. However after going there today I definitely have a changed opinion as I made it to the scale and was handed a business card that stated ONLY MOTOTRIZED VECHILES BEYOND THIS POINT NO WALK-IN OR BICYCLE SCRAP DELIVERY. Personally this is awful as I spoke with a Manager in charge around 3:13 PM and the best he could explain was that they made that rule in effect around a week to a week and half ago. Also like to add that when I asked why they changed that the reason he gave was he was not sure why it just was changed. I could understand if it was because of the current road construction that has taken place since I believe spring of this year, but saying you are not sure does not sound good as a MANAGER of K&K Metal Recycling. As I know for a fact alot of the business they happen to receive are from people who use bikes or happen to not have access to a vechile and are preferred walk-in scrap recyclers. This will not deter me to recycling scrap metal just sucks that a company turned this into a policy and are losing business this way. I hope that in the future that RULE disappears but I know quite a bit of people whom are friends and family whom will not be returning to K&K Metal Recycling. very unfortunate to have this policy on-going. Also the police squad that is posted in the parking lot to suppposedly stop any walk-in/bicycle scrap delivery should pay more attention to stopping said people instead of focused on their phones. At least if I made it to the scale I should have been taken care of one last time, not just told to wait for a manager whom saw me and turned away and seeemed to avoid contact with the person whom walked-in to turn their scrap metal in for recycling. I guess the other scrap metal recycling businesses in the area will get more business as K&K seems to let down a huge community of bicycle/walk-in scrap delivery. sad day for sure to speak
