We got there an hour before they closed and they made us leave when we were not done. Unloading way too early. Had my truck loaded and the trailer and only got to unload the trailer.
Called to ask about scrapping a truck, and while they do accommodate this kind of thing, they couldn't give me exactly what I needed. Daniel was extremely helpful anyway, and passed information to me that did give me what I am looking for. Very honest, helpful business!
Google says open til 4:00 but when you go there at 3:30 they refuse your service and even claim they close at 4:00 when I asked at the office but want to shut it down early to make sure they go home @4 instead. I have a hydraulic trailer which takes 2 mins to go up and unload everything. Everyone’s so caught up into closing early and going home 5 mins early to play with their hands. Lazy office workers. The employees out in the field offered to take my service if the office allowed it but they didn’t.
Got a Quote for my Catalytic Converter online Est $380.
Went to Jax Metal Recycling, They said 'Best I can do is offer $75' promised me I wont get a better price anywhere else as that is the 'going rate'.
Left the facility, sold to online Metal Recycler for $330, they paid shipping as well.
DO NOT RECOMMEND / UNTRUSTWORTHY, will try to low ball you, and take advantage if they think you don't know what your item is worth.
I came here after my usual buyer moved, hoping for a fair deal on some catalytic converters. Instead, I ended up waiting nearly an hour just to be hit with a lowball offer that clearly didn’t reflect the real value. The person who actually makes the offers wasn’t even on-site — they had to send pictures and get back to me, which dragged out the process for no reason.
Everyone I talked to, from contractors to everyday scrappers, warned me this place is cheap — and they weren’t lying. They tried to downplay the materials I brought in like they were nothing, which felt like a tactic to take advantage of people who might not know better.
This place is a waste of time if you understand what your material is worth. I won’t be back. Ended up selling the entire system for 580 instead of 80
Delivering metal today. 53ft Dry van. Went inside with the paperwork, got on the scale. Green light works...
Go right after scale towards the exit. Blue ramps are on the left. Load / Unload go back to the scale U- turn from the scale go out the entrance.
This is a great place to take your scrap metal. The staff are all great, the man that guides you to unload you large scrap is awesome. The men in the building that help with aluminum etc are all very helpful and respectful. The cash office staff, Candy is absolutely wonderful!

Had a great experience at Jax Metal Recycling! Robert Phinizy was super professional and walked me through everything since it was my first time scrapping metal.

I am a single woman, and came in with a mixed load of metal. Your employee Austin was so helpful, sorting my stuff and teaching me what the different things go for. He is very knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable in a new situation. All of your employees should be like Austin.
I have a pleasure of doing business with Jacksonville Metal Recycling, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service. From the moment that Darren arrived, he's very friendly, efficient, courteous and professional. He made the entire process of recycling my scrap metal incredibly easy and straightforward.
I highly recommend Jacksonville Metal Recycling to anyone looking for a reliable and reputable scrap metal recycling center. They truly go above and beyond to make the experience a positive one.
I found your location to be very conveniently located it's close to downtown and close to the south side, most employees seemed to be helpful but the big guy named Austin was extremely helpful he took me through all the different types of medals and what their prices and values were and he also explained to me about cleaning my metal before I bring it in to get a higher price
World class organization. I had had multiple opportunities to work with Darren, and he exemplifies hard work. He's always punctual and curtious his customer services skill and knowledge of the business is second to none. He is the face of the business and he represents the business well.
I've been working with Darren from Jax Metal recycling for about 6 months. Darren has been fast, professional, helpful, and friendly in all our dealings. He represents this company very well. I'm happy that my company has established a working relationship with Jacksonville Metal Recycling.
Daniel was very helpful today and I greatly appreciated him. The whole staff has been amazing. Daniel thank you again! JMR is always Quick and has great service. Wouldn’t go anywhere else
I have worked with Darren for only a short time but I am truly impressed by him. He is always in a good mood his work ethic is beyond reproach. I look forward to dealing with Jacksonville Metal Recycling and Darren for a long time.
Darren has to be the easiest person in our business to do business with. I have never seen this man when he doesn't have a smile on his face. Darren is a throwback to the way business used to be done. Thanks for all the hard work, it is a true pleasure dealing with you every time we see him.
Daniel was courteous and gave a great customer experience. It was my first time coming here and he was patient and timely getting me out. Will be back and recommend all to bring scrape here.
There is a worker there by the name of Daniel that is amazing and deserves the five stars that I’m giving this company he makes it fast, easy with no hassle. and he is really cute too… thank u Daniel for the work u put into that job..
I've been coming here a while. I saw somebody wearing a shirt with the logo so I asked if they sell them
They should sell these at the checkout counter. theyre NICE!!
I had recycled about 200 linear feet of aluminum gutters here a few months ago. Just for background, I'm a homeowner, and not a contractor. I had never been here or anywhere else to recycle large amounts of material. I was initially disappointed because I did not get the amount per pound I was told I would get a week earlier over the phone. I also weighed it beforehand and the weight they gave me was about 10-20lbs short. After I got home I called to complain and spoke with the manager there, Shane. Shane was very helpful in explaining several aspects of the business and it helped me to understand each of the discrepancies. First off, the scale is a very large float scale. If you have a truck load of material, you can expect it will be 10-20lbs off. As far as the pricing, there are various grades of material and the cost varies per grade. If you are worried about how much you are going to get for your material, or what the grade is, just stop by the front office and show them what you've got in advance. I do believe they are making an honest effort to give everyone a fair price on the material. The other thing to keep in mind is that the prices of the materials can change multiple times in a week. So you have to check with them on the day you are dropping off the material. All that being said, I felt a lot better about my experience. Shane was gracious enough to take my word on the weight of the material and added a small credit to my account to make up the difference. I appreciate his professionalism in addressing the issue and will definitely go back again in the future.
My experience went well. Tim was a nice gentleman along with the guys who checked in my aluminum cans.
Everyone very friendly and very helpful. They treated me with respect and were very helpful for a first timer. Explained what the business would and would not take. How I could be well prepared each time. It was great to learn these things. I was there during lunch and since it was slower I believe it allowed them more time to be able to explain these things to me. I certainly appreciated it.
The woman in the office was pleasant and patient with me during the payment process which was super easy.
They do round up or down on the dollar so don’t be surprised. Personally it’s not a big deal and I’m happy to get money for what I would have simply thrown away before.
I’ll definitely be back.
