I've had an old PC, monitor, and printer laying around my house for months, waiting for one of…read morethose special days where you can drop off your old electronics for recycling. I heard about this place in the media recently and decided to check it out. According to their web site, there are 3 locations, and this one is the closest to my home, so we stopped by on Friday. What's really great is that they have a drive-thru to drop your stuff off! This was particularly convenient since it was raining. To get to the drive-thru, go in the right entrance and once you're through the gate, turn left and into the building. There's also a weigh station, which I have to assume is for really big loads of scrap metal. Not only is it nice to have a place that will accept your old electronics year round, but they pay you for it! For my effort, I made a whopping $4.80. You're not going to get rich from it, but certainly beats having to keep the junk around your house or pay someone to take it away because you can't throw it out with the regular trash. Be sure to check out their web site to see the full list of items that they accept, and the prices they pay for each.

Well done, but shady practices The operation seems to run…read morewell, easy to use, and nice that I can cash in on scrap metal. What I don't like is that every time I've gone, the payout price is ALWAYS lower than advertised. The excuse of 'fluctuating market prices' can be true, but amazingly always in their favour. The 'mixed metal' rates are over-compensated in their favour - you could hand them something that's clearly 99% gold (for an extreme example), but if it has so much as a tiny metal screw in it, the whole thing becomes about the same worth as all-metal. Their measured weights are also light. For bulk steel, the printout weight was actually lower than the scale readout (now that's brazen!) And for a specific metal type (ex. purely alum cans), I pre-weighed my load (in a large cardboard box) with 2 separate (and accurate) digital scales (both were the same) - CFT's weighed amount was about 4 kilos light, and it's not like the box they were in weighed anywhere close to that! They skim just low enough to make it look like some kind of margin of error. It's dirty and they need to be legally called out on it!

I'm always here. Maybe x 2 a week. I'm starting to get to…read moreknow the workers here and while you may not get a greeting upon entry, the staff are kind and helpful if you have a question. I love what the company stands for and I enjoy supporting them. IF the price tag calls for it. Most of the items to me for what they are, are overpriced. Other than that, usually cool treasures to be found, lots of older items, some antiques. Xmas section happening now, some clothing, lots of glassware, lamps, pictures, hardware and furniture in general. Great location for me and parking has never been an issue. Clean and organized as best as can be as the items here get sold quickly and empty spots are soon replaced with the newly brought in items. You can even shop on line and in store, grab a loyalty card.

If you see something here that you can use, you have to pick it up right away - whatever they have in stock is not standard and they may not be able to get more to match at a later time. I have also heard that they occasionally get end of the line items from the local hardware stores, so you can pick up floor tiles or bits of finishing items, among other things, for really good prices. They offer furniture and lighting, some modern and some old. We go in semi-regularly to have a look around. We will definitely be back.
