    New yard (to me) in Chicago Heights, il

    Found a new Yard I really like, and the seem to pay a little above average. They're in Chicago Heights, Il. A friend went there and was impressed, and so was I Very professional and Honest, and paid a little better than other yards in the area.
    It's called Big Daddy Scrap, and they have a website bigdaddyscrap.com

    New yard (to me) in Chicago Heights, il

    I've not ran scrap to them.... are they buying e-waste?

    they use to own Chicago heights pull a part on 30 until Lkq bought them out.....

    where is the yard at?
    pricing.....

    I'm from Westville.... so I'm running stuff into Pauls on 2&6 in Westville.... but travel to Kankakee due to working there during the weekday.... Chicago heights ain't that far outa the way... plus I pull a lot of parts out Lkq there and blue island... so if you can give a rough idea, I would be very thankful

    I've gone twice now, and have had no problem been treated great. No one else is paying $2.81 for bare bright, or $1.66 for house wire (#1 Insulated) That pricing has to be wrong on Stainless as well. I got .41 on Sat.
