⚠ IMPORTANT: WAIT FOR GREEN LIGHT BEFORE EXITING SCALE
Drivers must remain stopped on the scale until they see the signal light change from RED to GREEN.
The green light indicates your weight has been successfully recorded and it is safe to exit the scale.
Step 1: Initial Weigh-In
Commercial trucks can use either of our two scales for initial weigh-in to speed up processing.
Drive fully onto the scale and come to a complete stop. Remain stopped until you see the signal light change from RED to GREEN.
This confirms your weight has been recorded and you may proceed into the yard.
Step 2: Unload Your Materials
Proceed to the designated unloading area. Follow all safety protocols while unloading bulk scrap.
Our team is available to assist with large loads when necessary.
Please remain aware of heavy equipment operating in the yard at all times.
Step 3: Re-Weigh
After unloading, return to either of the two scales for re-weighing to calculate net weight.
Drive fully onto the scale and remain stopped until you see the signal light change from RED to GREEN.
This ensures your final weight is properly recorded before exiting the scale.
Step 4: Exit & Receive Paperwork
After completing your final weigh-out, exit the scale and park in the designated area.
Proceed to the office to receive paperwork and confirm the transaction with our staff.
