Wadkins Metal & Recycling LLC in Salem, AL scores 96/100. Recent feedback is highly positive: customers praise friendly, hands‑on staff (Bobby gets shout‑outs), quick in‑and‑out, visible scales, help unloading, and reliable extras like dumpsters and on‑time pickup/delivery. Many note fair to great prices and fast payment. One outlier cites a low payout, but the trend is strong. The yard has a throwback feel, yet is organized enough to keep traffic moving, with short waits and respectful service—suited for weekly drop‑offs and one‑off appliances alike.
This is the only place I would take my metal to. Bobby is always honest and kind. They do a great job helping you get the metal to them. He has always provided my business with a dumpster to scrap all our scrap Heating and Air conditioning units. Pick up and delivery always on time as well.
Had a problem with a truck load of frames that needed restacked, was in a terrible jam. Nothing to do the recycling but Bobby and his team unloaded and restacked for me saving us hours of grief. Great man I must say.
All the guys that work there are supper. They have always treated me n rex with the upmost respect. And always fair on prices. Thanks to you all we will see you every week.
Really nice guys that work there. They always offer to unload my bags, I know they don’t have too - but they always kindly offer and I really appreciate it.
