ON ARRIVAL

The entrance to the yard is located on Hughes Street off of Harrisburg Blvd, approximately two blocks down the street on the left. If travelling on Polk, turn onto Hughes Street and in one quarter mile the entrance will be on the right.

Enter the facility where the Entrance sign is and, if necessary pull immediately onto the large scale if a heavy weight is required. If you are a Dealer or Peddler and do not need to capture a heavy weight pass the large scale and proceed to the left to the five bays where your scrap will be weighed and priced.
