    Recommend a Yard in Memphis?

    I'm wondering if any of you have any experience in choosing a buyer in Memphis? I sell copper and brass mostly (plumber scrap) and have only used one yard. Being a rookie, I'm not sure they're doing their best.

    If you'd share your experiences, good and bad, I'd sure appreciate it.

    We'd prefer not to give free advertising. Wouldn't be fair to those with ads and reviews in the Buyer's and Seller's section.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    I think he's looking for a regular scrapyard, not an escrap buyer.

    You might look thru here and see if anyone has listed their favorite yard.

    Thanks for the tip. I thought I'd written a response earlier, but I don't see it now. Didn't want to ignore you.

    Some times it takes our Tennessee boys a bit to respond, but when they do..it'll come in a flood! I think they all just wait for one guy to reply/post then they all show up in force. Trying to intimidate the rest of us an all...

    Sirscrapalot - Can't hate a state known for making some **** fine whiskey, at lest I can't.

    This is the last time I will post on this forum. If saying thanks to God is a problem, I would rather not have you worry about my account.

    You can drop everything off at my house!! If not. Then River City Recycling on brooks rd. Its set up really nice. And id imagine you have a contractors license. Otherwise you will have to wait 5-10 days on copper wire and pipe. You may know that already.
