I have a D.H. Griffin Scrap yard near by that I take my shred to. Since they're a large company, the know they cant give you the run around on it because they run the risk of being fired. They post all their prices at the front and itemize your bill and what you got for each kind of metal. We also have a non-ferrous metal yard 1/2 a mile down the road that advertises prices guaranteed better than D.H. Griffin. They're always fair and they always have great prices posted up at the front.
