It's a scrap metal place. Anyway it's a very nice scrap metal place. Been there twice and got about 20 $ each for metal from around the house from updates to outdoor furniture, storm doors etc. Hence I recommend not to drive there just to drop of the metal, do it on your way in otherwise you might spend the money you get on gas. Please note I recommend to drive with pick up or van with thick tires. There is no liability for your flat tires.

Great place for used parts, have been going there for years and service is still above average
I got there right as the parts guy was leaving for lunch. But he went and got my parts before taking his lunch break. Saving me a long wait. There is also Junkyard Ed he was extra helpful in finding the right parts for me a novice regarding car parts. I highly recommend Junkyard Ed and his crew of friendly, helpful employees.
MD based auto part salvage yard. Calling ahead is highly recommended as many parts are often times required to be "pulled" from a vehicle on the property or may have to be obtained from a sister site. Pricing is fair. This is an auto salvage business . There are no frills,bells or whistles. These men work with their hands and work hard. Have make,model, year and detailed specs IN HAND when speaking to them for the best possible outcome.
Will be bringing my steel here from now on. They paid better for steel than the other yards I’ve been going to. Staff was also a lot friendlier than I have encountered at other yards. I also was able to unload and get paid quick compared to other yards, especially when coming 30min before closing.
Go somewhere else if you want true value for your metals. If copper even has a slightest green color to it, they say its #2. Wire any size that has been stripped of all plastic and coverings you get nothing for. That should also be #1 copper. there scale is 14 lbs off and they weigh your metal in portions so you will lose 14lbs every time. If your copper does not look new then it is #2 to them. My father has owned a scrap yard in Tennessee my entire life, I've been around this business for over 40 years now. I should have gotten $1185.80 for my metal and only walked out with $700.. I took the time to cut it up and separate everything precisely. I guess they are used to people coming in looking for a quick 20 bucks that pay no attention. But if you have hundreds of pounds of copper i would highly recommend you going elsewhere.
Used to be a great place to dispose of metals. Now they are not open on Saturday. At least that what the lady at the window said. But yet they had multiple tractor trailers rolling in and unloading. Waste of time and effort. Giant joke. Wouldn’t recommend and wouldn’t go. In response to the owner. You people are just like everybody else in the area. You sold out to an out of town group. And sold local residents down the river. There were trucks there dumping. Two pieces of equipment running and a woman working the desk. So you had 3 employees working and were allowing out of state tractor trailers to dump metals. But a local resident. No way. You gotta find time to get away from your job in the middle of the week because we don’t care about you. I’ll never use you guys again and I hope nobody in the area does either. It won’t matter since all your money is out of the area now so you won’t go out of business.
