It was sitting in the corner, not bothering anyone. Paper Retriever is doing a wonderful job helping the environment. Then, I thought, let me help its effort by giving them a presence on the map. Paper Retriever has hundreds of bins across the city of Houston. This particular one always has closed lids, which preventing them from becoming dumpsters.

Thankful the city has this service for us to drop off recycling…read more They want you to wear your mask when driving through and then 1/2 the times I go they take my temperature but the other 1/2 they don't. I think it depends who is working that day. They will take everything out of my trunk and THEN take my temperature... it kind of doesn't make sense. What would they have done if after taking my recycling out, my temp is high? Would they then grab it all from the bins and put it back in my car? Why not just let me keep my window closed the whole time that way we just don't make contact at all? Minus 1 star for hours. 8-5 Monday to Saturday basically means I can only make on Saturdays if I don't have to work that Saturday. Would be nice if they'd open a bit earlier in the morning or have bins outside to drop of basic recycling items like plastic and cans.

Pop open the trunk and point out the items you'd like to recycle. The staff will unload for you. You need to show an ID. Overall quick, easy and great service! Be warned it does smell terrible because of a dumpster on the property next to the recycle center, not a big deal but just be mentally prepared. Reduce your carbon footprint--help save the earth!

I went for the C&D experience and I knew I wasn't going to get hundreds nor thousands for my items. All I wanted was the $2 bills for my money collection. I arrived surprisingly happy that the cars behind me gave me enough space while I had my tailgate down while driving relatively slow. That's a rarity when I have my tailgate up. Right when you take a right on SW Plaza you'll go down a curving road right smack dab into the cul-de-sac of C&D Metal and a vehicle impound lot. You'll see lots of cars parked in the cul-de-sac and a long line waiting for the "vehicle storage". Keep on trucking along into the C&D Metal yard. You'll see a hut with a young lady in it, you'll need to give her your driver's license, license plate id, the description of the items, and your address. Step out of the vehicle for this, she will make no effort. Are you new? Are you new? ARE YOU NEW HERE? You'll be slammed with this repetitive question if you are new to C&D. I couldn't get away from it. Now the lady in the hut may misinform you on where you need to go next. I was told to go to lane 1 inside the warehouse and that's where I met José. José, a very friendly Hispanic man that's very helpful and very detailed in helping customers on what to do next. Are you new? Are you new? ARE YOU NEW HERE? If that's not obvious enough, yes I'm new; José. It's my first time! Drive around past the hut, to the long blue scale, wait for the green light and proceed to the junkyard. I weighed at 4000. Verde ding! I met José and a massive pile of scrap, it was as tall as the sky. I offered to help, José unload; but he said he got it. That's just my personality. I made sure José didn't throw my walking sticks out as he didn't. Next you'll drive left of the warehouse to the next long blue scale. I weighed at 3620. Verde, ding! Park in the front and go to the door that's open. Here you will see a dark, dimmed, and rigged up counter. Where you'll not be able to see the cashier at all. It's a one-way mirror, reflective on side and transparent on the other. Is this a police interrogation?! The cashier was so friendly, she expressed how she wishes her customers could see her. There's a process you'll need to do before you get handed $2 bills. She'll ask you to take a picture through the webcam, scan your fingerprint, and sign. You'll need to do this, TWICE. For your records and theirs. Then she'll ask how you want your money, $2 bills or regular payment. I want what is advertised on the commercials and website. There you'll get a receipt, your payment, and a card to use again if you decide to come back. Are you new, Are you new, ARE YOU NEW HERE? The overall experience was outstanding! I will be back. The new location off of Reed Rd, will be more convenient and gas cost effective for me. It's opening Spring 2024 or sometime in 2024.

No muss, no fuss, we got paid a little to deliver it ourselves instead of paying a lot for someone to cart it away, and everyone we met at Spring Scrap Metal Recycling was enthusiastic and kind. 5 Stars all the way!

If you're looking for a way to dispose of your metals in an environmentally friendly way,…read moreScorpion's is the spot! I've brought odd bits like metal table legs and old cast iron pans and they've accepted them without issues. You can also choose to sell your metal per weight, so I've seen others bring giant bags of soda cans or even a truck bed loaded with old bikes. The area is a bit rough around the edges, but the people are friendly. You can drive through their garage for them to unload, but just park on the side of the street if your car low / not a midsize or truck. The owner asked me if I was selling and I said no (just hoping they can recycle the metals I drop off!), and she said the proceeds would go to her workers-- sweet! :D If you have metals to dispose of want to sell, definitely check them out!
