Tremarco Scrap

Okay, round two trying to recycle my bags ‘o cans. I called this place after a Google search and got a real person on the phone right away. They were nice on the phone, going rate was 40 cents a pound for aluminum cans and this place will take small quantities.
15^th St. East is easily accessable off of 301, next to a cement factory. When you drive in, the first thing you are going to see is a business for boats. Tremarco is on the far right of the plaza, all the way in the back. You will see a small mountain of scrap metals when you get around the corner.
The procedure is quite specific– you need to back your car/​truck up in one of the curbed locations by the door (past the chain link fence entrance) because they will be recording your back license plate. If you are unloading big things, they have a bobcat to get the stuff off of your truck. You will need to show ID when cashing in your recyclables/​scrap metal. Everyone in the yard was very nice and all seemed to be hard workers. My two brown paper grocery bags full of crushed aluminum cans fetched the princely sum of $ 2.40. Yes, I know, hardly worth the gas to get there, but it is a good feeling to know you are recycling and keeping some small part of the waste stream from growing. They recycle all kinds of things including washing machines, fridges, lots of wire shelving, car parts, etc.
I’ve never been to a scrap yard before and was wondering if I was setting myself for some sketchy encounter, but again, everyone was every nice, cashing out was not a hassle and you are doing your part to keep the world a greener place.
