Exeter Scrap Metal

This place is organized and helpful. My brother recommended we come here because we were getting rid of years of hoarded metal. Expect to have your driver’s license ready, they are going to give you a customer ID that you’ll use each time you return here.
You drive up onto a scale, show your ID or get an ID number and have your load weighed. The person in the booth directs you to the first area where you unload «light iron». You’ll be told to back your vehicle into this big concrete blocked in area. A person with a hard hat will help you by showing you where to place your items. Here’s a BIG TIP: pre-​sort your metal. It makes your time there go faster and simpler and the people who work there take you a little more seriously. We brought heavy bins for the nonferrous metals and separated them into copper, cast iron, and aluminium.
When you are finished off loading the light iron you go back around and get weighed again. Remember to hang on to the receipt you’re given. It has your ID number on there. You also need it to get paid in the kiosk at the side of the back building. Now you drive to this back building and you go the right side of it. It has a sign saying «nonferrous metals» and you park next to the building and take direction from one of the hard hats there who sort out your other metals (except for cast iron, I think,) and hands you another receipt. Both of your receipts list weights, metals and how much they are going to give you for them. Unless you have something different (we had a cast iron piece that we had to place in one of the concrete corrals,) you are done and should cash in your reciepts at the little kiosk that says «ATM». It’s a machine that takes your receipt and pays you but gives you your receipt back.
I really recommend this place. Everyone we encountered here has been helpful. We went to one other place in North Kingstown and it wasn’t as organized or informative as Exeter Scrap. That experience left us feeling as if we could have been easily had. We’ve been here twice and each time has been a solid experience.
Going down Route 3 you have to look for the HUGE green scorpion set back in the woods that heralds vehicles to the entrance of Exeter Scrap Metal.
