Arvada Metal Recycling in
Arvada (CO)

Man at booth gave me extra detail and a full receipt for this and my last recycling

This place used to be great. I just brought in a truckload of non-ferrous scrap, and and old guy with a beard just pointed me to some trash cans for me to sort myself while he went back to BS’ing with a tall redhead by the scale. After sorting it all in the cans and dragging it up to the scales alone i told the redhead I wouldn’t be back and he had the nuts to tell me “sorry we get busy” while i was the only one there besides one guy tossing iron in their bin. Too bad since they were closer to the mountains!!

The crew that works there is very polite and knowledgeable. They're really hard workers and you'll walk away with a smile.

Today i observed a guy on a forklift with a child hanging on the side which is illegal as hell but i also saw you ask a guy to put a shirt on cause the little girl was riding on the forklift and you called the cops on this guy for the lamest thing ever. How about you call Child protection service and report yourself for partaken in illegal activities that are way worse then a guy not wearing a shirt outside? So a report will be made just thought you should be aware that one of your employee or employer is putting a childs life in danger and should be brought to the attention of the law.

These guys are awesome! They never have a long line so it's a super quick trip. They weigh it right in front and then just step 2 feet and you collect your money which is nice no second line or atm to have to wait for. They will help you unload if need be and they are friendly and speak English if you have any questions just call. (I do believe there are Spanish speaking employees as well "SI habla Espanol" they also take virtual IDs via the Colorado ID verified app.

Great place. Fast, friendly and good prices.

small place but fair and fast. Good guys

The guys were really nice and helpful ,it was my first time and my granddaughter likes getting a lollipop lol !!!

Great place to dispose of metal! They pay for aluminum and some other stuff, but also have a big dumpster you can put steel in for free. Staff always comes out to greet you and verify your metals and give directions. They pay in cash and all you need is an ID.

The people here are always so kind and make sure to give you the best price for what you give. I've been coming here for a few years now and honestly I have never had a bad experience. They de-escalate with shit customers beautifully and with the patience of saints.

Service was quick and staff helpful. 5 stars

Prices are fair, staff is knowledgeable, service is good.

Can't speak to their prices paid for scrap compared to other metal recyclers but I pretty much only ever go here for one reason. Most other companies treat you like a nuisance when you drive up to the scale. Here you can recycle whatever metal you have, even if you don't know how to perfectly sort it

I dont know how this place has such a high rating on google because This place is the biggest rip off I've been to even worse than Andersons I went there and took in some buckets of copper and data boards. The data boards were at 75 cents a pound and the copper was at 3.75 a pound and They only gave me like 20$ more for my copper which I know weight a lot more than my data boards plus was worth more. Plus they said my copper cable was #2 which is #1 at Iron and Metals. I barely got half as much as I would have got at Iron and Metals. I will never take my metal there again and anymore I know or talk to that scraps I will make sure they know what a rip off this place really is.

I drive an hour to this location every time and am always happy to scrap here. Good prices good people I would recommend them to anyone scraping they are fair and friendly.

Great place, helpful, friendly staff, fair pricing, fair pricing for sorting; really, these guys are the best scrap yard on this side of town by a wide margin. Every other scrap yard i feel unwelcome, rushed, and like im going to be cheated if i dont stay pretty on top of what my scrap is being graded at. These guys have never given me that at all, i think every time ive been here theyve had somebody help me unload and sort, (DONT BRING YOUR SCRAP UNSORTED, SORT IT FIRST, IM TALAKING FINAL TOUCHES HERE)

The people here are absolutely amazing, were super helpful and kind. I always bring my cans here, sometimes I bring copper and brass and they have amazing prices. I decided to write this review after I saw a man get frustrated with multiple employees over them not paying for his steel (one of many items he had). They were all apologetic, explained why they don't pay for it, told him they could take it somewhere else if he wanted, or he could keep it(he still left his steel). Then once we got to the counter he was trying to haggle with the man at the counter over the steel, he was explained to again very kindly the rules they have for not paying for it. The dude was also super upset when the man asked for his ID (I have always been ID-d for for my material) he then went on a rant about needing "paperwork". Employees pointed out the paper they have at the counter explaining why they need id's (it's literally a law) was very kind and handled the man child much better then I would have. Long story short the employees were all very kind and patient with the man child who apparently never learned his letters or how to read in school.

Today Went to recycle my scrap metal didn't get any cash for the 80lbs of scrap metal got told I need paperwork for scrap metal I've been scraping metal for 15years I haven't heard that in my life. So don't go to these people they rip off people. They did it two other people while I was there.!!!!!

They've always given me fair market price for my non-ferrous scrap and have even helped me sort some "borderline/questionable" stuff. No fuss, no BS. I've always been treated kindly here. 🙂 They don't pay for steel shred here but have a roll-off available for you to dispose of it into. For people who scrap and don't do large volumes of steel shred, this saves a trip into Denver -- as you would probably spend more in gas to get steel shred $$, so I consider this a win as well.

The woman who helped me was just amazing. She saw I had my kids with me so she offered to grab my bags of recyclables from my trunk, and brought the money right back to my car along with lollipops for all my kids (and even one for me!). Seriously great customer service and just an all around nice person. Good pricing for my cans too!

These guys are the most convenient for me to go to but be weary of using them for scrapping. I bring in decent amounts of copper wire and these guys will take any and all opportunities to give you less than you deserve. If there's one scrap bit of Romex in an entire box of #1 insulated they will give you the lower rate for the entire box. Which is pretty significant for a 50 pound box of wire. If you have stuff you want to just get rid of this place is fine but for any scrap you want to get a decent rate for go elsewhere.

Small but paid good. Went there twice today second time the old man came up to my truck said they close in 40 min so he's bringing me container and I need to unload with in 20.Min Kinda rude wasn't happy I was there. But everyone else was nice

Kevin the owner is amazing! This business is run efficiently, fairly and his staff are always helpful and professional staff. They’re clean, Fast, easy to get in and out of and I always willing to go the extra mile for the best customer service. Plus the office is amazingly cool.

Good place, a little far out of the way but quick and knowledgeable. Clean! Great customer service except one gentleman who always kinda has an attitude. He has complained about not being off right at 5 pm because ppl show up near closing time, including myself! Sorry but maybe they should make it clear that if you're not there by 445 to just come the folowing business day? Overall a good place to go

Doesn't seem like a place that can be trusted. I called to get a price quote and the guy who answered the phone wouldn't give me his name when I asked to whom I was speaking (a very normal business practice). Instead he wanted to know my name, so I told him, and he still wouldn't tell me his name. Good luck, pal, but you are not getting my business.

I've been bringing my recycling here for years. Always helpful and nice. Even with a new owner the staff have remained and prices are consistently competitive. Not to mention the pull through convenience. They help unload too. Love these guys.

I have gone here two times, and the guys working the pull up area are really fast, organized, and friendly. Most of what I have brought in they recycle but they don't pay or charge for - steel, an old dishwasher - but they gave me a good price on what little copper I brought in. When my car wouldn't start after dropping off metals, they even got out their cables and gave the car a jump. A great place to do your metal recycling.
