Alco Iron & Metal JunkYard in Vallejo (CA)

One of the best metal recycling facilities. Very structured, buy and sell metals. Located right off hwy 37. Great customer service, saved me time and money from going to oakland. There rates are near the same as going directly to the oakland port recyclers

Much better environment since their building burned down and was rebuilt. You do have to watch them as they sometimes like to weigh your sales product and "forget" to include it in your payout. Of course that only works when you have multiple types of nob ferrous metals you are selling.

This place only play pays you half of the market rate for the wire your recycling I’m an electrical contractor and I just brought 124 pounds of aluminum wire insulated and got $16 that was at .130 cents per pound

I would have never imagined writing a great review for a recycling business, but this team of employees have been outstanding! Jay, Miguel, Luis, and Cynthia are the top four employees that have shown me just how a company can truly shine! Thank you for striving to do as much as possible to help me every time I come there!

I called in advance to get a price quote for my material that I was recycling, the woman quoted me $160-$170 a ton. I told her exactly what I had which was gondola shelving and racking approximately 5000 lbs give or take. I telephoned again when I got there to confirm quoted price, again the woman confirmed $160-$170 a ton. We unloaded my materials and weighed out, went in to get paid and a different gal says $120 a ton. After going back and forth I reluctantly had no choice but to agree beings I already unloaded to $120 a ton. They owe me around $60.00 and I want my money. The original woman I spoke to Karrie never even came down to look at my load or to handle any disagreement in the office. Very bad business. Never ever will I go there and I will post reviews every so often just as a warning to other unsuspecting customers. Karrie is a liar. They don't even deserve 1 star.

The location speaks volumes in harmony as they perfect your service! The staff are an excellent compliment to the founding standards of this legendary retail store!! Please hurry to see that your iorn and medal are put to good work by the handsome men of the store !!!

Dint go here if you dont know what you are doing because they will rio yoy off especially if you are a woman. I made the mistake if asking for help and they burned me. 84 pounds if unstripped wire and they gave me 6 bucks ....NEVER GO WITHOUT SOMEONE IF YOU ARE A WOMAN OR BETTER YET DONT GO HER AT ALL PERIOD!!!

Best customer service in Vallejo! Thank you to the men upfront. Very patient and informative. Great experience. Oh and also thank you to the ladies in the back with the money. Pretty! Friendly! Professional! Thank you again.

Office girl got her wires crossed with incorrect description of metal I brought in. I brought in 20lbs of alum. She put on paper (old sheet), which was iron at .43 a pound. I brought in 20lb. Solid alum., which is more per pound. That's why I say between the handler of metals & girl upstairs paying out, getting their wires crossed on the handling & paying the customer wrong price for the metal he brought in!

Semi truck radiator 57 pounds , they gave me a paper and said 4 dollars , i bought the new one for 965$, i didn't take the 4 dollars yet and i wont take it until i sue them for ripping people off, aluminum price is at least 47 cents per pound for national aluminum today .. and they said 8 cents per pound, no honesty at all

They don’t pay you for scrap recycling unless you have at least 500 lbs, and you don’t know until you unload.

Please people we wear they got three stooges working in the front worst customer service the stooge that's in charge of cutting the metal was obviously having a bad day because I was there two hours for a lousy 20-footer to get cut finally got tired and went and checked out was the wait and he's sitting there at the salt just holding on to the buttons saying that the machine was broke and that is supervisors are a joke and that he can't get a hold of nobody but then I looked closer and the cut was all the way through he was just sitting there wasting my time so it goes okay well it went through please do yourself a favor don't deal with this clowns

I feel great that there is a great place too. To bring metals to recycle. our precious none living sources made from earth planet material sulfates, iron, bronze, copper, iron steel, brass, silver, gold, platinum, tungs, alloy, aluminum, stainless steel, many item of material to a perfectionate business of separating our metals too used back in the production to reproduced the metal too give something back to our community. I am glad too be a part of great importance of my life too cleanse our pkanet from looking junky and not destroy our pure dearth thank too men that distribute our precious metals to be reproduce to melt down and reuse material for our safety and enviroment to live safe and secure to all the workers at that site. Being responsible and keeping iur planet cleanse from filth. Great job men, and women.

Nice place clean organized prices seems much higher than before almost not worth driving from.napa so we ordered metal showed up and it was ready and cut i picked it up drive it home and found out why was so expensive the solve thicker metal that my fabricator ordered not sure id ve back again id almost rather drive to Oakland or pay almost same price locally still the best place

I spent more time waiting than I did unloading, I wasn't waiting bcuz they were busy but bcuz they were either eating or standing around laughing and playing grabass, I'll never go back, I refused to sell my precious as well bcuz they were to slow to go over my metal.

great prices for copper at $3.80 per pound but you get that price if you take over 100 lbs i think

Worst copper pricing in the bay area. Over 1 dollar per pound cheaper than the oakland scrap yard. They gave me 40 cents/pound for insulated copper.

Cool place & People + Good pay out 🤑 Better than other yards around Forsure !

Friendly, fast service, clean, professional. Kerri great!!

Some of the atendents are helpful but the front counter ones are not very nice to you.

Scrap Metal staff are NOT interested in assisting customers. Combine that with waiting for payment for 3 days. I'll save the hassle , throw it in the trash.

The service was great service was great, they get you in and get you out and get you paid.

thry dont pay out for recycling copper as well as aarons metals but closer to home

Great place to go friendly staff and pay top prices

Great Customer service and they have the best pricing around.

Clean, well organized facility! Order ahead since they are pretty busy!

They get you weighed in and out so fast. IT'S FANTASTIC
