"i came here because sim's downtown location was extremely crowded with long wait times. another guy in line said that the rancho cordova location was less crowded, so i made the 25 minute drive to rancho. also, i think that the 12th avenue location caters more to the large commercial/industrial guys and the rancho location is better set up for us small scale recyclers. there were only a couple of other guys there when i arrived, but i was the first to unload.
i compared prices between sims and universal service recyclers. sims is way better, e.g.:
$2.00/lb for yellow brass vs $.70/lb;
$.44/lb for dirty aluminum vs $.20/lb;
$.38/lb for clean lead vs $.30; and
$.12/lb for car batteries vs $.05.
also the staff here are very friendly and willing to help."

"Was my first visit today. It was a little confusing at first but everyone was very friendly and helpful. I think it is set up more for large operations that do scrap cleanup or people in construction but wasn't too hard to figure out.
There are 2 areas for dropping off. One is for non-ferrous material (non magnetic) and one for ferrous material (magnetic). I was there for ferrous material. I figured out that ferrous material had to be taken to the area where they weigh your vehicle before and after you unload your material to know how much to pay you. When I drove onto the scale, someone came out and explained the minimum to get paid is 500 lbs because I was in a small Ford Focus. I told him that I didn't want to get paid. Just wanted to clean out my garage and not just throw metal into the dump. He said no problem and gave me a hard hat to borrow and told me where to go to unload. It was easy after that."

"Just wanted to say that the management of this yard is the best. Good real people with heart at this place. Had a little miss hap an it could of been a real bad day for me. On top of being a little stuck out for a moment I had my boys twins 8 years old with me. Children wait in the office for safety purposes ( busy place moving a lot of materials) but they loved the veiw and enjoyed very much watching the crain operating!
First time at a yard and dad turned a twenty minute trip into a couple of hours.
Staff at this place was great am treated me an
my children like real humans..lol Travis was the Best guy I met in a long time.
Very greatful to the staff here. Loyal customer for life."
