This is honestly such a cool place! I'm not a junkie, I just love scrapping. It gives me a good feeling watching metals getting recycled and knowing one day my old, dead water heater may become a car door or something. Jarvis is a cool place to watch this happen right in front of you. They stay constantly busy with the grinder running daily, shredding your old steel and feeding it onto a mountain to eventually be melted down. Am I nerding out too much here? They take pretty much any metal, especially steel, aluminum, and copper. If you're bringing in copper wire, you're going to need a letterhead certifying your possession of it, or a contractor's license. Otherwise, they're fairly easy going. Steel and aluminum cans are paid for in cash. The main desk staff are super nice and you can call them anytime to check prices. Most employees are friendly and helpful too, though I've met one guy that gave me a lot of crap while I was learning their sorting standards. All in all, a great place to feel like you're making a difference. Now, just don't go spend it all on drugs... read more

Jarvis Metals Recycling - Literal heaps of steel scrap! - Recycling Center Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Went to Jarvis to drop off unwanted metal like I usually do. This time they busted my trailer light and put the blame on me for not having railings on my trailer. They were gonna let me leave pissed off but the employee who did it, took responsibility and sent me to get a used light from someone he knew. The managers were telling me I needed to take responsibility for going to their scrap yard? Like really? Signs posted everywhere "stay in vehicle at all times". How could it be my fault when the magnet operator dropped a freezer on my taillight? Brand new trailer, got the light replaced thanks to the employee and not the two managers who basically said it was my fault. Save your self the hassle and take it to A1 recycling. Jarvis don't take responsibility for their wrongs and want to put the blame on anyone but them. It's a $10 light, can't imagine if it was my car they hit!! Honest employees but poor managers. read more
