Sure, we all know to put the aluminum cans in the machine at the grocery store to redeem the deposits, but what about other types of metal? It certainly seems abusive to the environment to just throw it in the garbage, but who has the time and talent to make sense of your odd pile of metallic cast-offs? G&S Scrap Metal. It's a very simple process. Drive around to the back of the facility and back your car up against one of the open bay doors. There is a photo associated with this listing that illustrates this part of the building. Someone will see you backing up and will direct you in terms of where exactly to pull in and how far. Most times you will see someone else engaged in this process as you arrive, so just follow the lead of the more seasoned scrappers. Once your in, the associates will help you unload, identify and weigh your scrap. The workers at G&S are very personable which might stand in contrast to the preconceived notions some folks might hold regarding the friendliness of metal recyclers. They are happy to answer your questions about recycling and on more than one occasion they have pointed out certain items amongst my haul that were made of more valuable metal and therefore should be weighed individually to get a better price. Please note that they did so with no prompting on my part and I would have been happy just to lump it all together and take the lowest rate. I recycle for the environment, not for my own personal financial gain, but nonetheless the folks at G & S will insist on giving you a fair deal. When the unloading, identifying and weighing is done, you will see the foreman (Tony as of the last time I was there) who will pay you in cash and give you a receipt. Please note that you will need to show ID to recycle as a deterrent to scrap metal theft. For household scrap loads this is a quick and efficient process. Keep in mind that you are entering a metal recycling facility which means it will be noisy, but besides that it is really no different than bringing your cans back to the grocery store. No load is too big or too small and there is really no excuse for throwing metal in the garbage when these guys will recycle it for you AND pay you a couple of bucks to do it. You won't get rich recycling metal, but it's better than throwing it away. If you have any more specific questions, just give them a call. 5 Star Recommendation

I go there for a lot of my craft supplies as they have a huge selection of beads and tools. Not everything has pricing on it, so best to ask the employees. Only negative would be that it's a bit difficult to navigate and can be overwhelming by the sheer amount of items Their inventory changes often and they have everything from clothes, toys, old electronics, frames, jewelry, fabrics, to books, appliances, seasonal decor, and more. I've gotten many items from them over the last 2 years and always have a good time when visiting! (Also there's some great restaurants + cafes within a few minutes from them if you get hungry shopping) ;)

After months we finally made a weekend stop at Heck's, a house wrecking spot stretching by between a house and barn. It's a quirky spot to poke around, but can be a gamble. We found jewelry, unique napkin rings, a fourth grade textbook in Polish, Indiana Glass, and a million coffee tables. The jewelry section upstairs was well-stocked, the book section upstairs was huge, but the music section was already poked through. Johnny Cash's Greatest Hits was missing from its CD case. Look before you leap, but enjoy the fun finds. The prices ranged from econo thrift to antique gallery, depending on the item, and the quality range the same. Restaurants, coffee, and Cole's Road Brewery are all nearby so this could be part of any itinerary you like.

If you enjoy collecting bottles and cans, then you should do business with this company…read more It is singlehandedly the best company for bottle-return handling services. You'll save the time and hassle by coming here to drop off bottles and cans over machines at grocery store or even Costco.

They do a great job sorting out and accepting all kinds of bottles and cans from different variety of brands sold in retail or consumed for recreation that are accounted for. At the end, they'll give you the correct estimate for all of the money's worth based on the amount of bags worth of bottles and cans you collect over time.

Alright, I'm on the fence here... Fences are made of metal, so you can scrap them here, by the way…read more I mean, it's a scrapyard. You're not exactly dealing with Tiffany & Co. Diamond Consultants here. I will say that Ira is really nice, and so are most of his employees. They helped me empty my truck, and did their best to make sure my items were headed to the right place. But, like most scrapyards, they pay bupkis here. I am NOT a scrapper, I just go here to throw away large appliances for a few bucks instead of actually PAYING a dump to take them away. Better than nothing, I guess. I once had two refrigerators... Got $9.25. Not exactly a living wage unless you can find 16 busted appliances a day. Also, they do not close at 3PM. They close at 2:45. I once came at 2:50, and while they were happy to take my scrap metal for free, they wouldn't weigh my truck for the few dollars I would have received. I use my truck for work, and could not spend the night with a bunch of junk in it. You're probably better off throwing your metal on the curb and putting up a Craigslist ad... some scrapper will take it in less than 24 hours. Not really worth the trip here unless you somehow came across a bin full of pure copper.
