At Rearden Metals, we’ve designed our yard and traffic flow to ensure efficiency and safety for everyone dropping off scrap metal. Whether you’re a seasoned recycler or a first-time visitor, understanding how our scale traffic operates will help you get in and out quickly, maximizing your time and profits. Here’s what you need to know before you arrive.

1. Arriving at Rearden Metals

Once you enter the yard through the main gate, please follow the clearly marked traffic flow. This keeps everyone safe and ensures our operation runs smoothly. The scale is located at the back of the building, so after entering, follow the signs guiding you toward that area. Our team will be on-site to assist you as soon as you arrive at the scale.

2. What to Expect at the Scale

When you arrive at the scale, our team will guide you through the weighing process. This certified scale ensures that you get a fair and accurate weight for your scrap metal, so you’re paid exactly what your material is worth. We’ll ask you to unload your materials in the designated area, and our team will ensure that your load is properly sorted and assessed.

3. Important Traffic Rules to Remember

• Stay in Your Lane: Please follow the lane designated for scrap traffic and avoid cutting across the yard. This helps ensure everyone’s safety and speeds up the process.
• Wait Your Turn: If there is a line at the scale, please wait patiently. Our team works hard to keep things moving quickly and efficiently.
• Be Prepared: Before arriving, make sure your scrap is sorted and ready for weighing (check out our “Scrap Metal Sorting 101” blog for tips). This will help speed up the transaction and get you back on the road in no time.

4. Off-Peak Hours

To minimize your wait time, consider coming during off-peak hours. Our mornings and late afternoons tend to be less busy, meaning you’ll spend less time in the yard. Planning your visit around these times can help you get in and out even faster.

5. Safety is Our Priority

Please keep an eye out for other vehicles, workers, and equipment moving around the yard. Safety is a top priority at Rearden Metals, and following the traffic rules ensures that everyone stays safe while conducting business.

Conclusion

At Rearden Metals, we’re committed to ensuring a smooth, efficient, and safe experience for all our customers. By following the traffic flow, staying in your lane, and being prepared with sorted scrap, you’ll get the most out of your visit and maximize your time. We look forward to welcoming you and helping you turn your scrap into profit.
