What clients say about Munford Recycling in Munford (AL)
I found my stolen vehicle there. They accepted a vehicle from someone when it was not in their name nor did they have bill sale to show ownership CHARGES ARE BEING FILED MAYBE DOING THINGS LEGALLY SHOULD BE MORE OF THEIR CONCERN
This place lies about the weight when you use the drive through scales !! I been weighing my steel the last 3 times and everytime they have taken couple hundred pounds off my weight each time and it's not no scrap metal either !!! Oh they make sure to tell you there ticket that shows you the weight is off line everytime I have been but ones and I only had a little bit of metal that time !!!! They ripping people off left and right !!! People call better business !
BEWARE! Company allows it's truck drivers on the highway having major debris flying off of their trucks! Drive over 80mph having debris the size of quarters fly off and damage your vehicles. ON TOP OF THAT, if you don't have a dash cam, they'll deny that it's their fault and they won't cover the replacement of your windshield. Even though you have video evidence that the debris is NOT coming from the road nor it's mudflaps but is in fact coming from the truck!
THEY ARE RUDE, DISMISSIVE, AND STUCK UP.
If you are a female don't go by your self..I took over around 40 pounds of yellow brass at $2.30 a pound and a few other things and all I got was $36 dollars and they never give you a ticket so therefore you have no proof of weight let alone proof you have even been there!
This is a small operation, that will pay fair prices on your scrap. I think it would be best if they displayed current metal prices, but hey , it's a scrap yard!
Don't go expecting not to get dirty. Boots are a good bet. If you are able call ahead for pricing on whatever you are planning on bringing. They stay busy so it's not uncommon to not get an answer on busy days. They have been in business for a long while so they must be doing it right! Friendly enough but your not going to make friends. Pays cash. Checks may be written for $$$$$ high amounts.
Public service announcement: IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE CLOSED PLEASE POST NEEDED INFORMATION ON GOOGLE, LEAVE A VOICE MESSAGE ON THE BUSINESSES AUTOMATED DIRECTORY THAT PICKS UP WHEN A CUSTOMER CALLS, OR WHERE CUSTOMERS CAN EASILY SEE BEFORE FUEL AND TIME IS WASTED.
We have drove here for 2 days in a row just to pull up and to find that the gate is closed and locked. If the employees would answer the phone (the employees have been there both days), or better yet, leave customers a little side note on your businesses automated directory stating you're closed and when you'll be open again maybe we would have known what we needed to know before a significant amount of our time was wasted. Do better, this isn't a good way to keep customers coming back.
I do a decent amount of scraping from time to time, and after moving back into the Talladega AL area I thought heck I'll go to munford haddent been in 6yrs with a decent load of scrap. I did not find it worth going. I will definitely travel the extra miles to do as I have been doing over the years. I cant trust someone who will try and avoid giving your ticket.
I took a load of various metals, including 40+ pounds of #3 copper, and was paid a $43.76, and wasn't given a receipt. I was in a hurry and left, not really thinking much about it at the time, but thinking that was low. I should have gotten a receipt, that's my fault, but there's no doubt I was taken advantage of. I'll never use this place again.
Always very nice,very quick service,and never any B.S. And they pay top dollar !! The upmost respectful people in the business or just in general !!! Great service,with high standards of Real Honesty. Simply fast friendly service,where you feel like family.
I've been to this establishment twice now. The first time I was very satisfied with the pay out. During the course of my visit today, the scale guy was polite, respectful and even gave me an extra quarter to get my little two year old son I'd brought with me a piece of bubble gum out of the machine in the office area. The downside to my visit was that I had to sell my cast iron bath tub as regular scrap because " they've went crazy at the mill" and I wasn't offered a receipt for my transaction.
I had a good experience. Took 2 loads total 2000 pounds of stuff collecting for 25 years in the edge of the woods. The first load, they unloaded. Second load, I unloaded the trailer. No issues. They have a very small yard that can be extremely busy. Be patient, I can see how maybe some folk get irritated. Keep calm and recycle.
Negligent and destructive with an attitude they don’t care about your equipment.
The people working there are friendly, and prices are fair, but they will break your equipment and not care when they do. When someone goes to a junkyard and has a big machine unload their trailer, some risk is associated and understood, however, when THEY tell you to back further down, then THEY push down on your trailer and drag it back another foot and then THEY press down and push your tire on a lawnmower top and slice your tire, that isn’t a hazard, that is negligence. Then they “look” for 3 minutes for a tire so you can get home and they find one smaller and call it good, but it is completely dry-rotted. Then the management says “I have signs up and even though WE cut your tire, we don’t accept responsibility.” $200 in scrap metal and then take $100 away for a new tire, that is your profit margin for doing business with these people.
Down to earth, employees; if I spend the avg. 15-20 min., at Munford Recycling, as stated above wait times stated above, it's because I choose to be there, checking out what other people have thrown away, I am interested in.
