The person answered the phone and told me he will contact his guy and get back to me. A few minutes later I get a text asking to send pics of the metal and appliances I have amd then I was told he would charge me to come get it so it is not free because they are far from me. So now I am running around to find another place that will come get the metals and that. I would not recommend this place. They have bad communications and I feel like they waited to he last minute to then tell me they will not come so then they can try to charge me with hopes I would be desperate. I wish I could give 0 stars but tha isn't a option on here

He got here same day, got the work done, swept up and took all my junk away. He was very transparent about his pricing, and for the service provided - it was affordable. I would highly recommend and will definitely hire them again for the next big clump of junk I have sitting around.

Not only were they accommodating on date and time, they were on time and professional. Take pics of what you need removed and they'll give you a price, flat fee. No extras. No surprises. I will definitely hire them again. Actually, I've used them 2x! Get rid of your junk with them

The driver who came for my car was delightful and also very understanding. I'm afraid I was a bid of a nuisance! But he was completely terrific about all of it.

That was on November 6, 2025, and weeks later the issue is still not resolved. I've spoken multiple times with the driver and with the reception staff, and I keep getting vague promises with no follow-through. At one point, I was even told by the employee who caused the damage he could just pay it off bit by bit, which is completely unprofessional. The responsibility is with the company, yet they've put the burden on me to chase people down and sort it out myself. As of now, no reimbursement has been issued for the $750 contractor repair quote, and I've spent far too much time trying to get a simple, straightforward resolution. What should have been a quick service has turned into weeks of frustration. I do not recommend this company. The lack of accountability, the delays, and the expectation that a customer should clean up their mess--literally and figuratively--are unacceptable.

Great business from start to finish. Very responsive and keeping informed. Pricing was very…read morereasonable for the job I had in hand. Sending in pictures and responding with a accurate quote and finalizing with a appointment on the day of cleanout. They focus on estate cleanouts and the job I had was pretty big with a small window in clearing out all the junk. You can see they have done this before in their organization and execution. Asking on alternate side parking and on where for freight they can move out all the junk. Even with time running out they quickened and fulfilled the job fully along with brooming and cleaning up afterwards. Will definitely use them for any junk removal or cleanouts in the future.

I went through the main entrance and got told that the entrance was at the home depot side, so I had to carefully back out and make my way. All fair - I have to respect the line and other people's time. There were 3-4 vans ahead of me and I waited maybe 20-30 minutes. The process was smooth as someone who's not in the industry. 1) Go in and get your car weighted 2) Get directed to a spot where you will unload all your metal 3) Head towards the exit to get reweighed 4) Get paid As someone not in the industry, I was just given the value of the weight in light iron, because they wanted to get me out and not sort whatever metal I had. Thankfully I didn't have anything valuable like copper. Unfortunately, the gave me 5 cents a pound and valued everything as light iron. I had a 100 pounds (or so I'm told) and got paid $5 for it. Not worth the manual labor nor the gas used. The staff here are pretty accommodating and will direct you as needed. Not the most welcoming but definitely not rude either. When I called, I was told they would sort the metal I had for the appropriate prices. No such thing happened. They just want to get people in and out.

I had some pots/pans that were no longer in condition to use due to wear and tear. Not sure if this scrap yard pays top dollar but I dropped by to recycle responsibly rather than for the monies.
