American Iron & Metal

If it's your first time here, there is a process they have. 1st you need to weigh your vehicle in on the scale. Pull on the scale about half way. Roll down your window if possible so you can hear the instructions from the office above. They will tell you to stop, and when your weight is good. You will be able to see this weight on the LED board on the left side of the building wall adjacent to the scale. Take note of the weight for your reference. Once told to proceed over the speaker, proceed off of the scale to and look for the drop area. Typically it's central in the yard. You can look for the big tractor/loader to help you find the area. Also most of the employees will help direct you to the correct area. You will be shown where to back in and unload your scrap/metal. You will most likely be unloading your items yourself. So plan on that. They do offer to help if necessary, or not busy. Once your unloaded, proceed back the same way you entered, to weigh out. Pull back on the scale and stop halfway again. The office will inform you that the weight is logged, and to proceed to the customer parking area on the left. You will need the license plate number from the vehicle, and a valid driver's license to check out. Head to the office located next to the scale where you weighed in/ok it from. Take the stairs to the office, and check in with one of the two employees behind the window. They will ask for your plate number, and driver's license to confirm the correct vehicle, and weight. Once you have finished, use the printed receipt/barcode at the ATM machine directly behind the check out window to obtain your cash payment. The payment is rounded to the nearest dollar, and no change is provided.. That's it easy process once you know. Depending upon what type of metal/scrap your exchanging will be the value your paid. Keep the receipt for your records, and to know how much your rate of pay is. Also if you have been there before, or visited them at the former location, you will most likely be in the computer system so very little information/paperwork is needed every time. You always are required to have your Driver's license, and license plate number everytime. Also you need to be at least 18, or older to conduct any business with them. Happy scrapping!

Fantastic, helpful staff both indoors and out. Entire procedure from weigh-in, unloading, weigh-out and payment was efficient and quick. Payment was fair considering it was for stuff I would have thrown in the garbage. The process can be a bit noisy and intimidating for first-timers, but the staff was helpful walking me through it :) I will do business with them again!

Since they moved the new people at the location are much more friendlier and great help since things are different from the last time I was at American Iron & Metal.
