Based on recent reviews, Alabama Metal Recycling LLC in Mobile, AL earns 78/100: mostly positive with notable caveats. Many praise the friendly staff, help with unloading, quick in-and-out times, fair/accurate weights, and decent payouts; some even cite years of reliable service. Complaints cluster around pricing/scale disputes (low can prices, inconsistent weights), occasional rudeness, and hours posted vs. actual (especially Saturdays). Yard conditions are mixed—big lot but clutter, mud, and metal shards can make turnarounds tricky. Overall, good for drop-offs, but verify prices and hours.
Do not bring your scrap here unless you want the absolute lowest price. Was quoted one price on the phone and given well below that. I dont understand not doing right by people. There is plenty room for both parties to make money. GREED OVER ETHICS
Be patient when bringing metals here, unless you’re familiar with the way they operate and they are busy be prepared to wait, they don’t have any set of instructions, only had 1 guy to determine and weigh metals inside, and they want make/model of vehicle with tag number, I guess for verification, then you have to take weigh slip to window to get money where they ask for license, then you have to sign receipt, I guess they are not bad for a scrap yard would be nice if they had a paved parking lot in front and a better way to help people with disabilities like myself.
In a good location. I have to say they have a big lot but no room in the back yard to turn around. Driving over debris
to dump is not the best. If the place was cleaned up a bit
would make a big difference.
Best scrap yard to get in and out of. Without having to worry about getting stuck. Very helpful assisting with unloading and separating what you have. Usually in and out fairly quick.
First of all the web page says closes @4:30PM.
So I get there @4:04PM and they are closed. After driving 30 to 45 min. to find out they are closed. I have to drive back home with all this on trailer. Please change time on web site.
I'm very disappointed doing business with these guys. We brought a utility trailer full of scrap in and was going to unloaded ourselves but the worker hollered he was in a hurry and was going to unload it with his equipment. Fine, however being in such a hurry he tore the siding off our utility trailer and also smashed the brake light. He said he would pay for the light however that was a lie. Then another man hollered at my husband that he was holding up the line to move along while he was sitting there trying to temporarily repair the siding and light so he could move along. Is this how ya'll do business, tear up peoples personal property and then expect them to move along and have to pay for the damages caused by your careless workers rushing around? Very unprofessional!!!!
I have been to this place several times the staff seems friendly and very helpful but the last two times I started to realize the weight was off. I brought aluminum up there about two months ago and they said it weighed 666 pounds well this time I go up there and it is a good bit more probably over 100 pounds more making it 700 and something but they said it weighed 666 pounds again I don’t know if I believe in coincidences or not but that just seems a little bit odd I think they may need to get a new scale who knows but something was definitely off. I will be trying somewhere else from now on.
My 4yo was collecting aluminum cans as a project & we found this company with good reviews. There were closer places to us but when I took my son to cash them in everyone was absolutely awesome. Made him feel proud for the work he’d done & when we went to the cashier they rewarded him extra with a popsicle. They provided a great experience & we will be back. Thank you !
After being ripped off by the place on Theodore Dawes / Nan Gray , I found these guys. Been going to them ever since. Weight is always correct! They will help you unload if they aren’t too busy. If you are going to need help I’d advise going during a slow time during the day.
Ever since the Halls Mill recycle center closed. This is the one I had found that was the best for me. A little far out but worth it. They recycl2 many other things, so call them up and talk to them.
I've been here a few times and never had any problems. The staff that I have dealt with have been friendly and professional. You can also tell which customers aren't use to pulling a trailer.
Fantastic place to take my scrap I was taking my scrap over there off of Theodore Dawes road at Nan Gray Davis road but found out they were cheating me took my stainless over to these guys knowing what it weighed handed it over to them they came back with the exact weight. Very nice very helpful friendly people would definitely refer any and everyone to go there!!
They are fairly quick on the payout. And nice enough. Two tips, One: Make sure you have road hazard on your tires if you drive across the scale. They don't keep the scrap cleaned out of the road. Two: Don't go across the scale a day or two after a rain. It's nothing but 8in of slick mud and metal shards.
