The guy promised to come and look at the scrap job I have on the go and wasted 5 days of my time saying he was coming and then NEVER showed up or even called to say he wasn't coming... Even if they called me now, I wouldn't let them pick it up, Byers scrap metals is going to do it...

I haven't been at Nurse scrap metal since the pandemic started. I was surprised at how well organized it was. Staff were great and it took no time at all. Very impressive....

Excellent service as usual. Staff are very friendly. The site is well organized and clean (for a scrap yard)! Added bonus is the price per tonne is great!

Super fast at getting my broken van outta my driveway and cash in my hand. The person that came to pick up was super friendly and quickly in and out. Great people. Excellent service!
Plus the reviews response to some of these make me want to leave another 5 stars on top lol way to keep it real.

Love this place! The staff are amazing and usually go above and beyond. Even since covid-19 the service is still the same. The yard set up is great for quick in and out stops.
I never take my local scrap anywhere but to nurse!

I hate this place, constant crashing and heavy equipment use in our residential neighbourhood, 6 out of 7 days a week I can't enjoy sitting outside!!! Nice response I'm sure Jerry nurse wasnt swinging a crane around all day slamming stuff into dumpsters so hard that it vibrates and knocks things off the damn walls, not until you took over.. also, these are war time houses, built in 1949, you weren't here first, but thanks!
