I was scrapping here until the down right rotten treatment and lack of respect. I was fortunate enough to get 25 pounds of new clean 1/2 inch thick aluminum wire. Approximately 22 to 24 inches long each. And was told the best they would do is old sheet aluminum.
Clean aluminum wire -- $0.65 per lb
Old sheet aluminum -- $0.30 per lb
To me that is flat out stealing. I AM NOT GOING BACK
Truck driver directions I 84 to us 69 building will be roughly 7 miles down 69 on left pull straight into gate stop beside scale attendant will assist u...people r really nice friendly n helpful....no over night parking
Absolutely the best yard I go go to in my area. It's the furthest away but but service and payment make it worth while. Not to forget about the advice and tips to help me make more for my load
Loaded in a clean and palletized way. Thank you for doing this in professional way. Arrived at 3:20 pm, checked out right after 2 hours. Which is standard time.
This place has a very dishonest way of weighing in their loads, I decide to recycle my damaged 30' coachman camper trailer and I made the mistake of going to this place. When I was on the scale I wasn't even able to see the weight in or the weight out. I know for a fact I had at least 500 lbs of clean aluminum that I spent days cleaning and making sure that it was free of any steel other debri or material. According to their slip that I received on my way out, They only paid me for 320lbs total .I know the weight of my vehicle and my utility trailer, and I know for a fact my load was just as heavy as my kids two honda 250 atvs on my trailer. They have a guy inside the warehouse playing with the numbers and the reason why I found out is because I also had aluminum wheels that had to be weighed inside the warehouse and the guy is sitting there behind a glass window. If I would have known this was going to happen, I would have gone to a public certified scale prior to going to this place and getting ripped off. Never Again!
Don't go here or anywhere near Waterbury they are screwing people 2.10 a pound for bare bright and 1 dollar for romex you can go to cable management in meridian and get 2.10 for romex and 3.15 a pound for bare bright
Continental Scrap Metal has stated on their website that they price match their competitors and this is simply not true. Whoever is working the desk, depending on if their in a good mood or not, will choose if they’re going to match a particular day or not. I was Ignored and disrespected when I reminded the gentlemen at the desk what their website said. I guess the magic words to get them to hold true to their word is to ask for the corporate number where I’ll get an unbiased, professional decision. Horrible customer service.
Steve- you’re the man, though!
I've been going to Continental for years. They used to pay the highest prices, they used to be fairly well maintained. It has been on a steady decline for the last 2 - 3 years. On my second to last visit the entire facility was littered with dropped scrap pieces and a pallet of scrap fell over right in front of my truck. Glad it didn't fall on me, but it blocked the path to the scale and I had to wait for it to be moved. Place is becoming a death trap. Final straw was the drop in prices. Even Albert Bros pays better for most scrap now. I'm sad to have to abandon them after years of business but it's becoming obvious they don't care about their customers like they used to.
Rob...you should have gotten at minimum and I can't stress MINIMUM $45.00 A PIECE For those converters. Yes the inside is full of platinum...palladium and even rhodium , which are all precious metals. If they were off foreign cars they are even worth more...if they were ford...GM then most likely 45 - 65 a piece depending on size. But you got taken for a ride. Not only did they make money on the 2 converters they paid you for...but they made bank on the 6 they basically just took from you. They sound like criminals.
Brought a 4 cat h pipe told its 80 to 100 on ph then got a slip for 40 wouldnt cancel transaction. Bristol scrap on broad offered 70 dont go hete they do scam you
Scraped 8 convertors there today and only got 100 bucks.they lie lie too.said a box of convertor guts I had was contaminated and it's worth nothing! Isn't the inside guts of the convertors worth the money????? There liers! Don't do bizness here!!!
I always bring my scrap here. Ive scrapped in New Haven, Bridgeport, Danbury and these guys are the best there is. Will even help you out if you goofed on something that may have been worth more. Most professional place iver ever been.
I brought my first load of scrap here about 4 years ago. Back then I thought that this place was amazing! It was clean, organized, staffed.
I go there maybe 2-3 times a year, from my first visit to my last visit (today) continental has been on a steady slide downhill, today, this place was a wreck! Metal all over the roads, dirty, unkept, I saw 3 humans during my visit I had to wait to scale out. I know what to expect when making a scrap run, I do not expect the Taj Mahal, but today this place was scary! What the hell happened? Horribly managed. I won't be back till you guys get it together again, there are scary places closer to home, I have no need to drive past other scary places to get to this scary place!
I've been to a lot of scrap yards and this was hands down the best experience I've had. Professional and polite. Organized and quick turnover. I will only come here from now on
I weighed my items and they were 200 pounds before I went to the scale.... I was told I had 160 lbs. I had eight exact pieces. Twenty five pounds each. His helper took one inside to weigh and it weighed twenty five pounds. I WAS paid for the difference. FRIENDLY STAFF but be careful
Worst scrap place I've been in a while. While the facility is very nice, it is massively understaffed. I brought two factory BMW catalytic converters in for scrap (amongst some other aluminum scrap), 35 or so pounds between the pair. I took my slip and cashed out, not realizing until after I got home and looked at the slip and cash, that they paid me $9 per cat. They also rang up as 9lbs for both cats, when they were well over 30. These exact cats brought in $60 for the pair at G&S scrap last year. Bunch of crooks. I would never venture back to this place.
G&S is miles better in every way. I hope someone exposes these crooks.
Hands Down the most professional place I ever scrapped EVER!! Beautiful State of the Art facility.. You have too see this place.. Not a dump like AB and Liberty where your getting flat tires all the time... Of yeh and they pay the BEST!! all there staff is so professional they help everyone out, all the other places treat you like your a piece of dirt and moody all the time.. GO HERE TRUST ME!!
