Jacksonville Metal Recycling in
Jacksonville (FL)

My trip today to the recycling plant was kind of disturbing. I've been coming here for a while plus I've been going to other scrap yards in town. I'm not new to this. My husband and I come to this scrap yard at least twice a day. My husband and I've been scrapping for over 20 years and when we discovered Jacksonville metal recycling everybody was nice as can be and very helpful. They still are very nice and helpful except for one guy named Darren. I know that glass plastic styrofoam anything like that goes to the trash. Also know where aluminum goes and where the aluminum cans go. Also know we're steal another metals go also and so does my husband. Today we were stopped by Darren from the time that we pulled in to the time we went to go unload the aluminum cans so where he told us what they would and would not take as my husband was pouring the cans into the can canister. It got reminding supposedly my husband of what goes into scan recycled units and as I said earlier my husband's been doing this for over 20 years. Last week he lied and told the people who work here that we were putting cat food cans and no aluminum cam holders, which we were not. But Darren felt the need to stand over us and comment on everything we were doing. We've never seen Darren before and we've never had anybody watch over us. We honestly felt like victims today. So what I have to say is everybody else that works for Jacksonville Metro recycling is extremely nice extremely helpful and they love to joke around. Just make sure you don't get Darren because he seems like he's going to try to frame you for something. But I still give the metal recycling five stars.

Thank you for Zay, He helped out alot with take 100+ lb compressors ect. Off of my trailer. He said he will help, thank you sir for being courteous, and professional. Zay gets 5 stars.

Best scrap yard in town, good guys to deal with and gals in the office very knowledgeable helpful with a clean facility.

Went for my first time about a month ago and had a great experience! Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially House! Will definitely be back soon!

So I took the time to strip welding lead and solid copper wire, cleaned It all made sure it was perfect. Weighed it before I left and figured out the money I should get when I got to the establishment. The vibe was bad already. The guy kept trying to tell me my truck was 3800 and it was 5400. I brought all my copper up in 2 5 gallon buckets. I dumped one of them out and expected him to dump the other one out or whatever. I thought for convenience he kept it in the bucket, but then he took my bucket and they charged me 2 pounds. Even though I asked for my bucket back, they charged me two pounds of weight for 1 5 gallon bucket. And apparently, they round their weight down.If it's not a solid pound. I had almost forty five.They gave me less than forty four. I will never use this company again. This was the first and last time. I don't scrap a lot, but if you're going to get somebody for no reason.That's sad. They didn't give me a ticket to tell me how much weight I had or I would have disputed it right then! And they don't tell you until after you fingerprint and sign. So for $12 y'all earned this review not much on this scale but had it been more It could a bigger hit. From the weigh in all the way to the checkout, I felt like they were trying to get over on me. And they did.

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.

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

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!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Belinda at Jacksonville Meta Recycling was absolutely fantastic! She was super helpful, incredibly pleasant to work with, and made the entire process smooth and easy. It's rare to come across someone so friendly and professional—she went above and beyond to assist me. Highly recommend working with her if you get the chance!

One of my best buying experiences in a while. Belinda not only had everything ready when I got but jumped right in and physically helped where she could. Would love to do more business with her and the company in future. Thanks Belinda

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.

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.

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 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.
