It was a truly genuine and highly positive experience. I have never been involved in weighing scrap before. While renovating my house, I visited CML, and they treated me as if I were part of their family. Charlie explained the entire process and ensured I received the correct value for my load. The staff on site also helped me with separating my scrap. I left very satisfied with the service. I highly recommend this place to others. The environment was very professional.

I went for the first time a few days ago, the staff outside were extremely helpful and patient with me, the young lad guiding me and helping seperate everything. The man weighing everything was also very hardworking and efficient. I came in feeling quite anxious, but I realised soon after there was no need to be.
