Stopped by with an exhaust system I didn’t want to just take to the junkyard. Not only was it extremely easy to drop off, but the fellas helping flagged that there were catalytic converters ( I thought simple resonators) in the system and paid me accordingly for them.
Goes to show the professionalism and integrity of the outfit.

I've never had a bad experience at Recon, all the people are good. They're also one of best set up yards to get in and out fast. Call before your first trip and they'll tell you what to do.

They are the quickest metal scrap yard I have been too. Its usually smooth and steady dont wait much like at other places. CALGARY METAL is slow compared to recon you spend twice the amount of time from beginning to end. It's bad enough metal prices are so low and it's almost not worth picking Scrap. THE CITY OF CALGARY SHOULD PAY US FOR WHAT WE DO...INSTEAD WE CLEAN THE CITY FOR FREE AND WE ALSO END UP PAYING THE DUMP TO THROW OUT THE NON METAL MATERIAL WE GET.

After ruthlessly cleaning out my closet and purging 3 huge bags of clothes I was left with probably 200 hangars. I hated to just put them in the trash and city blue bins forbid them for safety reasons which is understandable. So after calling around I found Recon. Jerry was very helpful in emails and so I found all the extra metal that I had and drove it down. I had 68 pounds of hangars alone! They took it all. I got $2 back but it was the satisfaction of not using the landfill that made it worthwhile. Happy days!

Other then them trying to argue with me saying my plate was registered to another truck (I drive a small sedan and have this plate for a long long time) it was a good experience. Blond lady behind the counter was polite and helpful.
