It takes quite a bit to get me angry nowadays. I realize this is a Newburgh junkyard, but this is full of angry rednecks with attitude problems. Today was my third time here and every time is a problem. The rules change every time you come here.
The last two times I was here, I sat and waited on the scale but nobody came out of the booth. The attendant eventually barked for me to come to him. Today, I got out of my vehicle and a guy working the yard began screaming at me to stay in my vehicle. As I got back into my vehicle, he came up and proceeded to start lecturing me like I'm a child.
The sign at the entrance clearly states they accept electronic waste (monitors, etc.). I had two old TVs in the back of my truck. The same attendant began barking at me for daring to bring my TVs to them. Again came another lecture about how this place is a metal scrapyard and why would I think to bring TVs? I explained that their sign on the wall that says they take all e-waste, including monitors. That made him angrier. Each time I come here, I always leave with items they claim they don't accept, despite their signs clearly stating they accept it.
While leaving, I stopped to allow an oncoming vehicle to pass in a tight fit. That set off the attendant again. He came over screaming and creating a disturbance. I attempted to deescalate him and I eventually rolled up my window to get him to stop.
For the $10 that I made for a truckload of metal (ripoff), plus the fact that you will almost always leave here with items they claim they don't accept in contradiction of their signs, save yourself the hassle and drive to another junkyard. They do not pay much money for metal. read more
