I walked in and told the guys what I had. They were very friendly and they helped me unload all of my metal from my truck. I ended up getting more money for what I had then what I expected. Some of the prices were a little lower than I thought and some were higher than I thought but it all evened out. I will definitely be going here again the next time I have some scrap metal.

Husband read off from his phone: FREE recycling electronics event. Checked online and did not see prices. Drove significant distance with a few items. Found out only the phones I had would be free to recycle. Don't waste my time and gas people. Took 1 item to Goodwill Surplus store and it was cheaper than Recycle That Stuff and will hopefully get used again. Brought one item home because I was out of cash.

It's a good place to go and recycle your old TV's and other household items. They have good prices on all items that are brought in.

Can't say enough good stuff about this company and their workers. Thank you so much Tyler for organizing our event in the Village of Bonduel for our Eagle Scout Project. Very professional, hard working, and fun people to do recycling with. Thank you so much!
