Truck Drivers stay away from this place, they don’t care about you ( You will be here all day to get loaded) . I asked The loader how much longer, and He responded ”They get paid hourly , joking around “
This is by far the best recycler in Ct all the Men & Women (not sure if there is any) are extremely helpful and courteous I would bring my scrap to the other yard than Alderman Dow keep up the good work fellas
Very professional they always pick up our scrap aluminum and steel at my business American Truck Inc always on time very friendly and give best prices I wouldn't use any other scrap dealer... I would like to add a family business for over 100 years serving the community
Ok place to sell if you know what types of metal belongs in what pile won't help you sort your metal so I'm pretty sure a lot people are not getting there full amount for certain metals I'm from Atlanta where places help you sort not complaining that's their right so know your metal worth.
Not the best place to get prices on cat. Converters do you self the favor and drive to a wallingford scrapyard, I went in with an oem cat. Converter and was told 8 dollers for a brand new never installed 1,700 doller oem cat. Converter that I never installed due to the headgasket being blown.. and I mean brand new!!! Still has shine and everything, so long story short I drive off go to a wallingford scrapyard and boom 120 bucks I'm leaving with.. this place is a joke and now I know why in my young days my family would straight up complain about this place cause of the way they pay it's ridiculous honestly they must've thought that I didn't know how much platinum is actually worth! Stay educated people!!
This is a family own business the two sons have great attitudes very easy to do business with you can’t go wrong with them great pricing in and out service the workers help when needed also they must treat the workers great everybody is happy and been there for awhile thanks to my friend Art who’s been there for years I would never go anyplace else.
FOR TRUCKERS: Friendly people but loading area is littered with metal. Of course this is a scrap yard but at least clean up the dock area. Found a nail and screw in my tires while getting loaded. Getting loaded 2hrs and counting. Best to avoid this place
As a trucker it’s hard to back in 53 foot trailer specially with a sleeper. 90 degrees on the street and gotta have someone to stop traffic. It’s chaotic but the people are nice tho
I retired back in December You think they'd buy me a cup of coffee or a sandwich you're a little party after 43 years I got s*** So you tell me what kind of people they are I don't have to say it The father is a good guy That's all I have to say
Ok, I'm going to break it down for the bad comment fokes. I am a happy frequent customer and can tell you the short n skinny. If you have a little amount of different things IE 2 lbs Bare Bright, 1 lbs #2, some #1 Don't expect to get paid the 3 separate prices listed on the inet. If u have a decent amount of 1 thing ur all set. Never been ripped off even without a print out
Great family business they have been there for over 100 years they pay top dollar.. remember it goes with the prices of the market and it does change every day... Alderman and dow has a great Crew working there and they all work very hard 6 days a week....
Highest prices in New Haven Area that I found from shopping around, and owners are usually very friendly. Been going here for years and will continue to use Alderman.
Got there with a bad hip and the man in charge told a worker to help me. He did with a good attitude and a smile. Never saw that type of service in a scrap yard.
Thank you. See you soon
There are scap yards, and then there is Alderman Dow. My grandfather and his brothers brought their scrap here for decades, and my father and I have continued to do business with Alderman Dow through the years as well. These guys know the scrap business top to bottom and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Recycle or die! Words to live by...
A little chaotic but I’d say most scrap yards are. Called them and got a good price over the phone then came in and my price was honored. Weighted most of everything in front of me and then weighted my barrels after we emptied them. Walked out satisfied. Didn’t sense any nastiness or rudeness from the guy working the scale and handing out the money as implied in other reviews.
Never show up at the end of the day (4:15pm). Chaos and tension. First time and last time customer. No direction on where to go, wasted at least 20 mins before refusing to sort pc scrap. They took the wires, weighed them and tossed them aside without a printed itemized receipt and without me watching. Tossed some cash at me and that was it.
Most likely took my #2 copper for low grade extension cords...
Two best characteristic for those people:
Unfair: they offer you a price over the phone but when you reach there, they change it knowing it would be difficult to go back with the scrapped metal and Rude: they are not professional. The big guy that takes the metal and give the money talks to people however he like.
I think those 3 reviews that they have are from internal members
