This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
Based on recent feedback, overall sentiment for Renovo Resource Solutions Inc in Bradenton, FL is mixed but leans positive: 66/100. Many praise a clean, well‑organized yard, quick in‑and‑out, helpful staff who guide first‑timers and even help unload; some note fair or matched prices. Common complaints: strict/early closing, occasional long waits, rude interactions, undergrading or low payouts, and scale discrepancies; pricing versus competitors appears inconsistent. Little info on parts inventory or ease of finding parts—reviews focus on scrap buying. Expect efficient visits when timed right, but verify hours and rates.
It was me and my husband first time going to this place and when I tell you the staff did not disappoint.they were very helpful and polite and professional.from the check in to the check out.will definitely be coming back.thank you all for all you do.
The week before thanksgiving I assisted a friend taking a load of scrap aluminum to RENOVO. I had a positive experience at that time. On New Years Eve I decided to Take a full load of mixed aluminum to RENOVO again evan though it was out of my way. Employees were courteous and professional. Renovo staff gave me instruction and assistance in maximizing the amount I would be paid for the scrap. One of their employees assisted me in unloading aluminum stock and separating sheet aluminum. The yard is the cleanest around and if I get any future metal I will defineately go back to RENOVO. I read some negative reviews about this place and I do not believe them. Every staff person I had interactions with on both visits to RENOVO was profesional. Keep up the excellent work.
DO NOT BRING YOUR METAL HERE IF YOU WANT A GOOD RETURN! This is the lowest i have ever been paid for the work I do. The first photo is a much smaller amount of scrap, with a bigger ticket. These women will rip you off big time. DO NOT COME HERE. They don't take care of their yard. I've been to over 40 scrap yards through out the United States and haven't gotten a flat before now.
Bad place to take scrap was charged 25 illegal dump fee lawn mowers had been emptied out they wanted to say they had to clean dirt floor lies stay away go to Suncoast Metals way better place
This place needs to hire better staff or change their hours of operation. Says 2pm on Sat. That means you ARE OPEN UNTIL 2PM not the staff runs out the door at 2pm. If they want to get out at 2pm please change your Hours of operation to 1:30pm so your weak staff can get out the door at 2pm sharp. I will never use this place EVER AGAIN.
Took me less than 10 minutes to drop off and get payment for my aluminum cans. Very pleased! Staff was easy to understand and very polite. I would do business here again anytime!
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME GOING TO THIS PLACE! EVERY PART OF THIS IS A SCAM… my car weighed 120lbs more upon arrival but was paid for 88lbs. Why are we working in whole lbs anyways. When I added up the receipt numbers added up to 93lbs in of misappropriated metals. How could it be possible for a long aluminum pole to weigh NOTHING on their scale? Unbelievable and should be shut down. This is prob why they weren’t busy. I should have gotten the hint. Extremely disappointed with the entire experience.
This place is a a rip-off, Lady doesn't know the difference between copper #1 and #2 . It's at least $1.10 cheaper than Suncoast for copper . Never coming back here again. Rather, go 3 miles down the road to Suncoast.
How is this place open? Suncoast, TMR, all of the other scrap yards are paying at least$7 per hundred for steel and so were these guys yesterday, but today they decided to drop it down to $4.75? No one else lowered at all much less over 2 dollars lower. Ridiculous
Very clean and a helpful staff , unlike other places you don't have to worry as much about getting a flat tire after you leave. Prices could be a little better , but your in and out so depends on how much your time means to you! All in all the first place I take my scrap.
Not happy at all with this scrap yard. Right from the jump, the guy was condescending and rude. Comes off as someone who hates their job. Was not comfortable from the get go, asked questions due to me never being there before. That "mind reader mentality" as we should already know what to do. Not everyone scraps, they need guidance. There were 2 nice people there... They both were ladies, kudos to you both. I expect to go to any establishment and be treated with respect, especially when I am being as nice and respectful as can be. If you don't want to be there, then find another place to work. I personally had enough going into business's and being treated like trash when we aren't the enemies. I will never step foot in this place again and it's all because of the first initial contact. Try it out folks and see how your experience is.
First time going to this company and they asked for my vehicle registration I politely said no and took my business elsewhere.
I have been going to scrapyards recycling centers junkyards whatever you wanna call them for 17 years and have never been asked for my vehicle registration other than that issue the women I spoke with seems nice and looked to be clean facility.
Responding to the manager I do know that and have had a secondary metal dealers license. And never had to ask a customer for there registration.
The competitor I went to did not ask for it only need my DL and tag number
This is ALWAYS my go-to place! Cleanest yard around and everyone is friendly. They even help unload and sort. I appreciate the fair price, as I just need a place to take my scrap to. I do not gather scrap like some to recycle, but I get my fair share, so I will go about 4 times a year. I would much rather have a clean yard like this than risk a flat tire at the other yards. Keep up the awesome work!
This place is very easy to get in and out of, without having to worry about a huge pile of steel falling on your car ,(like suncoast), very hard working folks here, and they are all very skilled and willing to get you the best $ for your scrap, only thing I can complain about, is that they say they close at 5:00pm , but actually it is 4:45! Make sure you have a valid I.D., Current D.L., (not expired!) And then you should have a great experience here!
I was there today and make a pickup,and it was the most impressive scrap yard I've ever seen. It was well organized and very clean. The owner and employees were very professional and polite at their job. Can't wait to return.
Best scrap yard there is in Bradenton! Everyone is awesome & friendly there. They even help you unload and I'm always in & out. Very clean & best rate in pay! Ever since they opened this is the only scrap yard that I go too!
Very professional, very helpful, and they even had a couple folks come out to help me unload my truck ( unexpected ). I've been scrapping at Premier Core for a while till they sold to another company. I have a small truck, so my loads never seemed to me to be worth taking into a larger yard. Since Renovo is just down the road, it seemed the logical choice and I'm glad I chose them. Will be taking all my normal scrap loads there from now on, and would recommend them to any fellow scrapper.
This was our first time ever going to a scrap yard. We were confused at first on where to go but one of the workers noticed and guided us right away. Really great customer service! Was super fast and organized as well. Would definitely recommend.
To anyone who scraps forget about Suncoast renevo is where its at I'm always in and out the place is amazingly clean and the owner and employees are wondering people. I brought some steel and copper in one day and the owner matched Suncoasts price on the bb copper. He won my business over that day. Renevo y'all are doing great sky's the limit keep it up. I'll see y'all soon. Best wishes, the honey guy
An Excellent Experience. The facility is new, well kept, well maintained, and amazingly clean. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. The wait times seem to always be minimal even when at “peak” operational hours. Definitely accommodating to the novice and residential scrappers while able to handle the business of commercial companies with massage tonnage. I recommend to anyone in the recycling world to take a visit, from the soccer moms to the seasoned “metal-heads”. Definitely worth your business. My hat is off to Randy and Nicole for a class act operation!
Awesome place and very clean! Spoke with the owner while i was there. Very down to earth and takes care of his employess! I will not go anywhere else to scrap
