Western Scrap Inc. & Midway Recycling JunkYard in Bakersfield (CA)

Very rude and mean. SA is way more welcoming and polite don't waste your time here

1-star for shirt mandate old 5-star review: on veterans day they closed right on time as posted, well done since then I have developed a passion for opposing shirt mandates as strong as the passion I once had to serve in the military of this supposedly "free" country. after a recent visit where a shirt mandate was enforced, 1-star for this antagonism of personal freedom and bodily autonomy. what if someone has no shirt and needs the CRV money to get a shirt? and summer is coming, we'll all need to be shirtless for the heat before long

This place is a rip off and the place is not clean the worker pour the water out of bottle on the ground.

Very nice.caring. helpful.polieanswers any questions you have

Guy that weighed in my truck tried to low ball me at $100 a ton for Tin. Told him SA recycling was paying at least $180 a ton and I'd would head there. Started to back out and then all of a sudden he's yelling he can do $160 a ton. What kind of operation is this. Your price is your price, don't try to rip people off until they try to leave then give them your real price. Just go to SA recycling, better prices and no haggling.

Have used them for household recycling and business recycling. Prices seem decent for what they pay and staff is decent. Have had issues with our list of employees able to pick up funds. Other than that no real issues.

Everybody was nice except the cashier. RUDEEEE. It’s almost as if I had to ask her as a favor to do my paperwork. Any question you ask her & she had attitude. Will honestly never be back.

Very unreliable, don't go by their hours, from the phone or posted, they just close early sometimes for no reason better show up well over an hour within closing/opening to be sure you aren't making a wasted trip. Very unprofessional, unorganized, and disgustingly filthy (obviously, it is a recycling center but still). unfortunately this is the only recycling center to my knowledge that actually pays you for the recycling in Bakersfield, or I wouldn't come here anymore.

0.25¢ a pound for aluminum!? What a rip off! They need to post their sorry prices online, so others can avoid the hassel. However, the staff was nice and helpful with sorting.

The lady on the phone is ALWAYS rude. When something doesn't happen when they say it will, we call and she says "why are you calling me again". They never stick to a schedule for pick up/deliveries and then always say "we will try to get there". Probably the worst company to attempt to do business with.

I work for a local business that deals with Western Scrap for bid projects, surplus materials, and general salvage recycling. We are an electrical contractor that experienced numerous copper theft issues over the years, Western Scrap eliminates much of the worry for our business. They provide good rates, abide by all laws, and are always good to their business customers. We highly recommend businesses setup accounts and have a list of approved employees setup with Western Scrap.

They were open on the saturday I went. There were alot of people there dropping off recycables. I got real good service from an employee name Eddie who was very helpful. I got nothing negitive to say about this company accept they hooked me up.

Would give no stars if i i could, office staff is very rude and they're receptionist was the most rude, if you want to recycle go to SA this woman's customer service is garbage. She should be fired!

Best place to go bar none ,the workers there help you separate cans ,plastic and bottles ,in fact they do it for you ,you don't have to touch nothing ,only if you want ,good job western scrap Inc ,keep up the good work ,and thank you

The staff are nice and they always come out to help you separate the recycling and move it for you. I won’t go anywhere else!

This is the best place to recycle, they are very helpful, they helped me, separate plastics and cans, and get you right out of there with the quickness. That's why I give them 5 stars!

I do electrical work, and recycle a lot of copper all across the country. I recycled #1 copper last week in Vegas at $1.20/lb. This place just gave me $.35/lb. I needed it gone so I let them take it. But needless to say I will not go back.

I like the place because it's clean and organized. They have friendly staff that helps you. And their prices are competitive.

We've been using this recycling company for years with never a complaint. So we'll continue doing so for as long as we live here. .

The worst place i have ever been the guys took all my stuff out of my bags and threw them away then the woman in side says that they have a limit on the amount they can take and left me to figure away to get the 2 full barrels of can back home with nothing to put them in she was very rude

Absolutely nothing bad to say. Always fast, friendly, helpful and pay well

Best recycling place in town. I always recycle my cans and bottles there. Very friendly staff and they are very helpful with sorting.

Very helpful and fast! Definitely recommended!

They are rude and extremely low priced... 55 cent a pound for #1 insulated copper is horrible...

Come here every two weeks to turn in my can and I love them great staff and great employees

Great place. Christina and the workers are genuine and always help take care of you !!!
