Anywhere else I get someone pointing or speaking a different language yelling over the noise all while being rushed and not giving me a minute to tell them what metals I got.

I could have bullshitted with him all day over there. Really good guy. Highly recommend anybody that has some scrap to go check out Addison Recycling Center x5.

I was pleasantly surprised by my experience. I didn't encounter the shady, suspicious experience I get when I go to certain places in the City. The price I was paid for 20# of cans rivaled what some places in the city only pay for 50# plus. A fair deal. I will definitely bring recyclables back here again.
