Calamari Recycling Co. Inc Scrap Metal JunkYard in Essex Township (CT)

Would never use again brought in 50 pounds of clean and dirty brass in a bucket, didn't even let me sort it and gave me iron brass price of 30 cents instead of the 2 dollars it should be that's 100 dollars rip off ridiculous

They don’t understand copper wire. I brought in clean THHN wire. Smallest was 12 gauge biggest was 8gauge but all THHN. They put me in a copper 3 category. Which means lowest quality or double insulated wire. It should have been priced at #1 insulated wire for it was all clean and bigger than 16 gauge wire and no sheathing. Also they tried telling me it was because my wire wasn’t big enough which makes no sense copper is copper you go by weight. They then said it was for recovery but that goes into the category you put me in. Which should have been #1 insulated wire not #3 copper which I’ve never seen before this. Been scraping for over 10 years. They stole 1 dollar per pound. Which I got 100 so they pocketed another 100. I researched and everywhere else gives 2.5 for #1 insulated wire or THHN DO NOT SCRAPE WIRE HERE. If calamari can explain to me how I’m wrong I’ll gladly take this down.

We disassembled a 3,000 square foot warehouse of steel racking. Calamari Recycling spotted us two 30 yard roll offs, about a week a part, which we filled. Service was prompt, professional and seamless.

Love this place. Easy in and out Great prices and friendly staff. I will only do business with them

I love to hunt for items at Calamari's, the staff is always welcoming and puts up with my humor. Keep up the good work.

First time here and a great experience. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Reasonable pricing. You should go out of your way to support smaller operations, especially this one. You get much better service.

I had a heat treat oven that I was taking up space in our shop, I reached out to Calimari's and they had a truck that was empty, so they asked if we had any other scrap metal / machinery we would liked removed, and we filled that panel truck up when they came, driver was totally professional I wish I had more to get ride of, thanks for the help

With short notice hooked us up with another local hauler when they could not serve us directly.

The staff is wonderful., Answers questions and takes car of business at hand quickly. My husband not think of going anywhere else!.

Great place and great people! Everyone was very polite and respectful! They helped me make sure I knew where I was going. I highly recommend going there for anyone who has material to get rid of! I’ll definitely be going back there again!

As always a great experience,very nice and very professional! Certainly the only place to bring your scrap metal!

Calamari Recycling was great to work with. They are very dependable, provide excellent service and have fair, competitive rates. I highly recommend using them for your waste disposal and metal exchange needs.

They are 30 miles from me but pay so much better than CT scrap who has been using fudgey math lately to make everything an even $ amount, the drop off for Calamari goes over a hill, much better than backing into the pile resulting in more flat tires

Quick and easy trip; staff is friendly and gave clear directions (first time visiting).

This place runs adds all over the country for accepting recycling materials "in Connecticut". Seems very unethical and suspicious. Legitimate recycling doesn't have to cross state lines.

Friendly and a fantastic price! Highly recommend for great service. Thanks

The only place I go for dumpsters and scrap , this place is a well oiled machine , chock full of hard working people making the world turn , nice to see there nice new trucks cruising down 95 , Calamari recycling is bringing class back to scrap .

Calamari has always been a great place to do business with and I look forward to more chances to do business with them.

Expect to get a flat tire when entering the yard.. if you don't get a lotto ticket. Other-wise easy and effective here's the metal , here's the money.

but you not setting me up to become one of your freight broker trucks 23....... ryaan transportation

the person who took care of me was very knowledgeable and made me very comfortable in my dealings with him

Fast response.... Great people to work with! They have been around a while and there is a reason for it! Great company to work with....

Very professional and great pricing, a pleasure to do business with

I've never had an issue here, always professional. You get more for your junk car here than at a junkyard.

If you need to consistently move material from your site, Calamari manages your project like it is own site!

Office lady was extremely helpful and pleasant.

Always great service and best prices
