It's been a few years since my original review, they still get five stars from me. It's a recycling…read morecenter so it's dirty, it's loud, it's busy, it's confusing, they close early (3:45PM), they aren't open weekends, the location can be difficult to get into or out of (depending on traffic), etc... So why the five star rating? They pay good money for your scrap metal and it's relatively quick and easy. I've been here several times over the years. My wife saves all our aluminum cans (crushed and in large trash bags) and other metal scraps. On my most recent visit I had half a dozen or so large trash bags of crushed aluminum cans and some miscellaneous aluminum pieces that netted me about $30. On my previous trip I had cans and some old gutters which got me $44. Okay, you're not going to get rich on this but it makes a difference. The whole experience is pretty quick and painless as it usually takes me about an hour to load the truck, drive to recycling center, unload, get paid and return home. Not a bad payout for minimal effort. The yard is set back from S. Military Hwy. in Chesapeake just east of the Gilmerton Bridge. After you turn off S. Military into the business you will be mostly driving on dirt so don't head over there after a fresh wash job on your truck. Pull up on the scales and give the attendant your name then head into the yard. Make sure you are wearing a face mask or they won't let you in as they have COVID protocols in place. If you aren't familiar be sure to ask the attendant what to do. The attendant will ask you what type of scrap you have then direct you to the appropriate area where you will have to wait for another employee to assist you. It's all pretty quick and painless. You unload your scrap as directed, fear not as they will help you if you need or desire assistance. After you've unloaded just head to the inside scale area as directed where they will weigh your scrap then direct you into the office where you will show the attendant your ID then receive your cash. From there just get back into your vehicle and exit the yard. It's just that easy. All the employees I've dealt with on my visits have been pleasant and very helpful so you don't have to worry about not knowing what to do when you get there. I think it's great to have this facility available where we can get rid of some scrap and get a few dollars. Thank you Elizabeth River Recycling for making it so easy.

Here's how it works with them. You sign a 3 year contract with them, at a reasonable price and they…read moreraise the price 25% after a year. You call them and they tell you it's in the fine print that they can do that. Then they tell you they can put you back to the original price if you sign another 3 year contract. But guess what, they will increase the price again after a year. After this happened a second time with a second location of mine I figured out their game. Go with Bay Disposal or another local company that does not play games and pretend to be a "green company". That's a whole other issue...

I called the business to ask if the container could be removed or changed-out and I was told that it would be. However, two weeks have gone by and nothing has happened.

This morning as my household was slowly waking up, there was a large truck on our street. I was…read moresurprised because it was so early. When I peeked outside, I noticed it was a large truck coming to take the dumpster that is on our block of Augusta for a house renovation. This is not a short or quiet activity. I went out to see exactly what was happening and what the company was and the driver wanted to know why I was out there. I said it was a residential neighborhood and people are sleeping. He made a lame excuse that they wanted to do this before people started going to work. That's crap, because they moved the old full dumpster in the middle of the day about a week ago. I will be calling SRWS (804-299-5000) who "owns" the dumpster to submit my irritation at this. This is a residential neighborhood with children who are sleeping and people who have to go to work and need their sleep. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE.

From start to finish, Marco was so understanding, friendly, kind and delivered above and beyond our expectations...and within budget. I recommend his team to anyone who needs services in the area!
