Brought some scrap copper and brass in, and the service was amazing. The fellows emptied the truck in about 10 minutes, weighing was precise and Harmony at the front desk was very friendly and quick to process. Western will be involved in all my future scrapping needs.

We've dealt with Western Scrap for a number of years now. I love that I can joke around with all the guys on the yard and they always ensure that I'm looked after quickly!
