Came here a lot with anaconda protective concepts to drop off dead fire panel batteries and old fire extinguishers we didn’t need anymore or were no good. They pay good but not the best. Some really nice employees here though. They will always lend a hand whenever u need them to. Definitely would return to meet down that old fan I found yesterday in this hospital laundry room. I would also like to say the furnace gets hot so watch out.
Paved drive. small bins for small steel so you aren't busting tires. The employees are always pleasant and thank you for your business. It's a small yard, but we'll organized so it's quick in and out even when it's busy.
I've been coming here a few years usually over convenience. Sure they don't pay top dollar, but I don't want to drive 30 minutes further for an extra $5. I heard about this place when I was 4; my old neighbour owned it before he passed away. Unfortunately the only picture I had was after a night/morning of torrential rain. But I usually get $20-25 for a load like that
Worst prices in New Castle County!! I’ve never left here happy unless I was not in sobriety. They definitely take a noticeable bit off the top, it’s not a secret, they take off the top in a way the Wilmington one doesn’t. They just gave me .60 a lb for aluminum/copper radiators… I used to take ACs apart with glee cuz radiators were gold, I gave them 6 and got $6. That’s defeating. I’m a scrapper born and raised and I’m telling you .. go up to that Elsmere/Wilmington scrapyard, you’ll leave $5-$10 richer… Only use them because I don’t got wheels and live in Newark. I always leave angry.
Place is a rip off and thieves!
Staff lied to my father and stole from him!!!
He brought a 15-20 lbs of soda tabs in to recycle and an employee told him they were iron and not aluminum so they only paid him 5-6 cents per pound instead of 30 cents per pound.
And they pay the worst prices around for scrap.
The prices they offer for wire are significantly lower than other area recyclers. Also, they have offensive and insulting political bumper stickers stuck all over around the teller's window. I'll be avoiding this place.
This place is a scam, they pay .04¢ per pound of "iron", even if this price was fair, they cluster everything as iron. I separated my stainless steel they checked it 3 times and on the third time the guy says it's not stainless and I was paid the cheapest price of iron. I recommend you go to Diamond State recycling in Wilmington. DON'T WASTE your time and MONEY.
Won't go any other place. Customer service and prices are always top notch! Highly recommend Newark Recycling for all your recyling needs. Hands down the best around!
Newark recycling is the only place I'll go. They have excellent customer service and prices. Very clean yard and helpful staff that goes out of their way.
Great place to bring your metal recycling. I went today and got top dollar for my truck load- would highly recommend! The customer service was excellent and the hard help super nice. Thank you!
I have been taking scrap metal to them for years and never ever had a problem there. The staff are great to help in anyway and friendly at all the times when I go there.
Lady at the scales is very nice, but the rest of the staff, Not So Much!!! Also I don't like that when you pull on the scale that there isn't any scale that shows you what you weight is. Also when you turn in your copper, stainless and aluminum they have never put my scrap on a scale in front of me. Who knows just how honest that they really are. A pound here from every person could add to their profits Big Time. I think that it's time to find another place. Just Saying! Not going back and good luck to those of you who do !!!!
Dropped off my wire for the first time ever in my life and it was the worst experience. Guy took wire, didn’t speak to me or answer questions I was asking. Very poorly ran and operated. And was told almost all my wire was aluminum when I know for a fact I didn’t have any aluminum. I feel robbed and cheated. Didn’t take my name or anything. I was “black car” to them. DO NOT go here
the yard guy running the small scale is rude as hell and wants to lowball everything and tries to cheat you out of money any way possible , I understand the business has to make a profit but the way he is doing people is just ridiculous. I've been ripped off by him after driving a half hour to the yard that used to be the friendliest and pay the best....
Seek another recycle yard. They pay the lowest of any other place I know. The people are rude and down right abusive. I will be taking my business elsewhere. This guy must make millions off of unsuspecting people. Please call around and compare rates.
DO NOT waste your time here!! The people are rude and not very helpful. They don't explain things very well and if you dump in the wrong spot, due to lack of proper instructions, you will be verbally assaulted and physically threatened by the Owner of the business, Carmen. Then the owner's wife, Carol will give you a bogus name for the owner. The rates are one of the lowest in Delaware. So unless you want to be treated like the materials you are dumping, find another recycle center.
Great people, clean yard. Yard is a bit small, but it's no big deal. They make it work. However, I've been there three times and they do give less than other yards. Most recently, $.03 for light iron vs. $.065 at Diamond State. I was willing to give Newark a chance, but more than half as much doesn't make it worth it, unfortunately. No experience, though, with selling them non-ferrous metals, so that may be different than my experience.
I do not recommend this place.I have had two bad experiences here.I took a car there on a car trailer to be scrapped and the operator dropped the car crushing both fenders on the car trailer..They were ignorant when i asked what they would do as far as repairing my trailer.They said i entered the yard at my own risk and they were not responsible for the damage that they did..The first bad experience i had there was a about a years and a half ago,I have a good friend that has an hvac company and i take all there old units that they replace to be recycled.I took a 8x20 landscape trailer there packed full of heaters and Outdoor units. I had to beg them to help me get the heavy units off the trailer.They said it was not there usual practice to unload trucks..After i finally got them to help when i went to cash out i received about 35% less than when i went to swift and diamond state.
Do not go here unless you like being ripped off!!! Went cause it was close to the area i was in and got 3 times less than what i would have gotten anywhere else. Prices are beyond unfair and its a waste of your time to go here. Its worth the drive to newcastle to get 3 times more money for what you got!!!
We've been doing business with Newark Recycling for years; they are always helpful and knowledgeable. We receive excellent prices for our recycling. Furthermore, their staff has always been kind to us, so I think perhaps people viewed the staff as rude (other reviews) due to not getting the rate they thought they should.
I would not waste my time. The prices they give your are the lowest I’m the area. The staff as miserable and short. If I treated the customers that way I would loose my job...
I cleaned out my house and had a bunch of scrap in my truck, I had no idea what type of metals I had or what they're value was but I took everything to Newark Recycling. The employees were very patient and helped me separate everything so I received the best prices for all the metals I brought in. Next time I come across more scrap I'm definitely taking it to Newark Recycling.
Poor prices and some (not all) of the folks working there and/or running things aren't the most pleasant. I used to give them a lot of business. No more. Diamond Stare in Wilmington or Atlas in Philadelphia are much better... Newark pays roughly half of what the others pay, and they are picky about every little thing.
