I've been going there for the past 10 years with all my copper and batteries. I've always found the office staff and yard workers to be friendly and helpful. Craig the owner is always enjoyable to talk to and has a great sense of humor. They pay good cash for all metals and batteries. Very professional and courteous

Very friendly, professional, courteous, staff . I really like the fact that they have a separate scale to weigh your scrap. I walked out with over 330 bucks for a little bit of copper( 114) pounds. Very impressed with the speed and efficiency. This will now be my yard of choice for all my scrap. Big THANKS for the help unloading Tom, also to the ladies in the office great job. Glad my wife googled Scrapyard's and chose you. Thanks again Rypac and see you soon

I work for a large industrial electrical company. We go through bins and bins of copper and aluminium every week. Rypac is by far the most unprofessional recycler we deal with. The yard is very confusing and no one is there to actually help you. When entering the office the owner who sits at the front doesn't even say hello he just orders you like a dog "go over there" . I came back in after not seeing anyone on the yard for 10 min and the owner said "well I can't do anything without the slip of paper" and looked at me like I was dumb.. What's dumb is that you just lost a massive potential client

Best place I found to take scrap. Make sure you have a big load or else they are reluctant to take you

Great place to bring scrap aluminum. I had a bunch of patio door extrusions and they paid me top dollar because I had taken the time to clean up the scrap by removing screws, hardware and sealant. They were polite and professional even though I was a compete novice in the recycling game. If I ever get together another pile of scrap I will certainly take it to Ryman Aluminum Recycling.
