What clients say about Alco Iron & Metals in Stockton (CA)

It has great prices and as for wheelchair access, a person who is wheelchair confined can get around. There just isn't a designated spot for wheelchairs. Everyone drives in, unloads,weighs and drives out.

I showed up 30 minutes before they closed I waited in line just for them to tell me that they’re closed and their life don’t revolve around me and they have better places to be they were just so rude you can definitely tell that they hate their job very poor customer service all they do is just sit around being lazy behind a crusty desk and they still have the nerve to treat people like garbage *pick ur career choice wisely so you don’t end up miserable like these people that work here*

Best prices for scrap metal. Quick in and out. You do have to go back in three days to get paid. But you do get paid in cash

Everybody at Alcoa in Stockton is so professional and friendly, Jose the buyer at this facility is top-notch professional and gives you the best price 4 the market for that day! It beats going into the Bay Area by far, thanks Jose!

The area is right past the traffic light to the left is the entrance you will see a big sign with the company name. My first time here and the parking is confusing, so you're suppose to pull up and try not to block other cars. Once there you need to get a cart roller for you scrap metal. Its located to the right of the weight scale. The waiting line is on the right side aswell, you will see markers on the floor. Once you got your metals sorted out one type per cart someone will assist you weighing them. Then you go up to the clerk inside the building. Get your metals prices ect and give you a ticket to give to the cashier next door. The place needs better visble signs for parking and the waiting line. BEWARE that you need to bring more than $50 of material inorder for the buyer to purchase certain wire from you. For instance in my case they wouldn't accept my CAT6 cable unless I had $50 worth of wire luckily I had 48lbs of bright wire copper so he accepted my cat6. I live in Tracy and I was frustrated looking for helpful reviews of different locations. Turns out this is the best area with good prices! Check iscrap website for prices of materials. Ppl get upset and think certain areas are scamming when they dont know that the non ferrous metal prices fluctuate. WARNING at 12:00pm is lunch time and you have to wait 30mins for the buyer to come back. So be there before that time but its best after.

Very poorly run! Treated poorly by staff, and they just let their buddies drive around you, and hold you up, then expect you to back off the scale and let their friend on. Then tell you not to come back. Great, I will take everything to Universal!

We pull up, there’s only two other vehicles there and no one comes up to us (which is fine, people are busy). So we go up to the counter and there’s about 5 employees just sitting around, they tell us they only accept scrap metal 500lbs or more. My boyfriend and I are DTV contractors so all of our extra equipment from sites gets recycled because we don’t have the space to carry everything with us, so the 500lbs was fine with us. Now this is BRAND NEW satellite tv equipment that we didn’t have time to sell so we got $33 for 650lbs of metal. Other people in the reviews have mentioned that they take care of unloading the metal scraps for you, that was not the case. No one even came over to see if we needed any help. Which is fine, I’m just writing this because previous reviews gave me a very different impression and I want people to know what they’re in store for. We were there for about an hour. Because we had to unwrap new equipment from sealed boxes and reorganize our truck but if you don’t have much, it would probably be an “in and out” situation.

Love this place, the guys there are very nice and helpful. I know it may sound crazy but I had lots of fun and learned a lot from these guys. Will always visit them when I need to dump anything and will always recommend them to everyone. Keep up the good work and fun vibes guys.

I took in some number 2 copper wire and weighed 44 pounds and was paid 28 dollars. I asked for price per pound to guy helping unlaod it and was told cashier would have price . well my mistake because i called on phone before going and the cashiwr said her buyer stepped out and i had 15 mins to get there before they closed. I checked on avg price per pound and it was well over 2.00 per pound . i took my receipt and left as door was closing and found out i was paid 65 cents per pound. Funny thing cashier and guy who helped me unload had a conversation out of my hearing range im assumong about my drop off . i looked at receipt and saw my wire said no 2 copper then 55 %. Well im here to say that wire was not stolen and im waiting till monday to speak to a manager because something dont seem right. Will update on outcome
