Three generations.
One yard.
Same handshake since 2003.
Jim Dabal opened the gates on Division Avenue in 2003 with a simple idea: treat people the way you'd want to be treated when you bring in a load of metal. Two decades later, his sons run the floor with him — and that handshake still means the same thing.
Garfield is a working town. Always has been. When Jim opened Dabal & Sons, the other yards in the area were treating sellers like a number — short weight here, vague grading there, take it or leave it. He thought there was room for a yard that simply told the truth.
That's what we still do. When you pull onto the lot, you'll see your truck on the scale. You'll watch us sort the copper from the brass. We'll tell you why your wire grades at 25% recovery instead of 30%, and what you could do next time to bump it up. And before you leave, you'll have cash in your hand — or a same-day check if it's a bigger load.
We've earned 118+ Google reviews at 4.7 stars by doing the same thing over and over again: weighing fair, grading fair, paying fast. The electricians, plumbers, demo crews, and homeowners who keep coming back week after week are the only marketing that matters to us.
Four things we never compromise on.
Honesty on the Scale
You watch every pound. The number on the display is the number you get paid for. Period.
Transparency in Grading
We tell you why a piece is bare bright vs #2, why your wire is 25% not 30%. No mystery math.
Community First
We've been Garfield neighbors for over 20 years. Half our customers know us by first name — that's how we like it.
Real Prices, Daily
Our prices move with the actual metals market. Call any morning for that day's exact number.
