Niagara Metals Cheektowaga

I never thought I would be reviewing a scrap yard, but the Cheektowaga location of Niagara Metals is AMAZING. It is the cleanest, most organized and friendliest business that I have been to in a long time, and the fact that those qualities are at a scrap yard is just simply awesome.
My dad and I collect scrap throughout the year, from our various projects around both his and my houses, and take an annual trip to cash in our treasures. We went to the Niagara Falls Niagara Metals location originally, but they were closed for the Labor Day holiday. A quick call to the Cheektowaga location confirmed they were open normal hours over the holiday weekend so we took a drive there, which was a little out of our way but well worth the trip.
For those who have not visited a scrap yard… it can certainly be intimidating. Not the case at all with the Cheektowaga Niagara Metals location. We were greeted immediately upon arrival and given clear, concise instructions on reading the scale and where to go within the yard. The yard is brand new concrete, with segregated areas for various types of metals, etc. It is literally the cleanest scrap yard you will ever see. I was shocked. After unloading our trailer, with the help of a very friendly worker who pulled the valuable stuff out of our pile to make sure we got paid appropriately, we were on our way back to the scale, paid by the cashier and on our way in less than half an hour.
What really impressed my dad and me is that every single employee thanked us, multiple times, for coming to their business. We certainly felt that we were valued customers and will absolutely drive an extra 20 minutes out of our way to go to the Cheektowaga location for our annual scrap yard trip. I very highly recommend this business!
