In Longmont, CO, BAZOR RECYCLING scores 58/100 with mixed feedback. Positives: friendly staff, quick drop-offs, fair cash for copper/aluminum, and even helpful towing. Negatives: poor communication/no-shows, phones unanswered, confusing or blocked entrance, early closures, and pay disputes (no pay for steel, lower returns than Denver, one stopped check). Yard organization varies—some find it easy to navigate, others note spills/debris. Little is said about parts inventory, so clarity there is limited. Overall, convenient local option, but pricing transparency and service consistency need work.
Met by some guy carrying a sidearm on the way in, not sure what that was about. The entrance and grounds feel pretty toxic. Fluid spills everywhere. Definitely didn't want to drive too close because I was confident there were nails or metal debris that would find it's way into my tire.
Bummer that Western closed down.
"...we buy scrap metal". No not really. On phone: "we don't pay for steel. Just aluminum, stainless, copper. Stuff like that".
Mention that fact on your website and save us all some time.
I really like this scrap yard for the conveniences being local and I really love the staff. But I must say though if I have a lot of scrap and especially copper- I go to Denver because they pay you four times as much so it’s worth the drive then.
Recycling metal was quick and hassle-free. Pulled up to the gate, they checked in, and took the pieces right from my trunk, saving it from the landfill.
I tried finding the entrance to this place, uh... who knows, it looks like a junkyard or a towing lot or a ? I don't know what but I didn't feel comfortable pulling my car in anywhere that seemed close to the business which I still have no idea where it actually is. Tried calling, no answer. Went to the website - not useful. Pfft. Went to green girl around the corner instead.
Excellent metal recycling, aluminum can recycling and, I'm sure, a ton of other things. Staff were all friendly, service was speedy. It's my new favorite scrap metal recycling joint for sure!
I have tried to take my scrap metal here three times. Each time, there was a large truck blocking the entrance. When I asked about it, I was told to come back on a different day. I returned on that day, but they informed me that they were now closed and advised me to try again tomorrow. The communication and customer service have been very poor.
Will be going elsewhere
Called to schedule an appointment for pickup, as online scheduler didn't work. They have no-showed twice now, with zero communications about missing the scheduled pickup. This has caused me to miss two days of work and pay. They don't return voicemails, and stop answering phones well before their posted 4 pm closing time.
Brought in #1 insulated copper on 2 different occasions within a 4 day period. Called ahead of time for price by myself and my husband to ensure pricing was correct. First time was fine and correct with around 200 lbs. second time, and I dealt with the owner, I had around 800 lbs with the exact same copper. Verified price over the phone by myself and husband. When they were checking me out and writing a check the owner and office person both verified the paperwork and the amount and the price of the copper. They had me wait a day and a half to cash the check so I took it to my bank to just deposit the check since, we knew that my bank would put a two day hold on the check since it was a personal check and because of the amount of the check When the funds needed to be released and weren’t it completely overdrew our account because the owner decided to put a stop payment on the check because they were now claiming that they paid me the wrong price, and now they were stating the price of the copper I took in, was over a dollar less than what they paid me. I knew I could get a much better price at other locations then and would not have taken this amount of copper to them. If that was the price they were going to give me so I asked for my copper back and of course they are claiming they don’t have it, needless to say, don’t do business with scammers and fraudulent people such as this and appropriate steps on my end are now being taken
Hours say til 430 but when I arrived at 4:05 on a Monday (after driving about 45 mins to get here) the gates were closed and no one came out to offer assistance and I know 1 of the employees saw me. Frustrating. Will go somewhere else tomorrow.
There customer relations is despicable... My friend dropped his wedding ring maybe 10ft inside the fence. We walked up And while asking the employee there if we can look around for it We saw it from outside the fence. We asked him if we could look around, Literally just walk maybe 10' inside of the gate take a look and then leave. He said no... Then we brought it his attention that the ring was actually right there and he tried to forcefully remove us....... I don't know if that should be considered theft or what but don't go here....
Tried to schedule a pick up multiple time in the last week. Was told that they would be there to pick it up. They "no showed" both times. Called to try and schedule a third time and was told by the gentleman who answered to call back and leave a message and that he'd then put us on the books.
This business is in desperate need of an administrative assistant who can manage the books for them and make sure that services scheduled actually are fulfilled.
A very helpful and efficient service. This guy is friendly and knows how to get your vehicle out of a tough situation. I highly reccomend you call him if you need towing.
