• If you have a vehicle with steel in it drive onto our blue scale. (Make sure to wait until other vehicles are off.)
• Once we have weighed you we will waive you off the scale.
• Unload the steel in the large scrap pile and then drive back on the blue scale.
• We will re-weigh you and waive you off again.
• Then come to the scale out (large roll up doors) with any other metal. We will weigh it there and pay you for all your metal.
