What clients say about USA Scrap Metal & Recycling in Miami (FL)
Great scrap yard. Juan was very helpful and polite, he took the time to call me back with specific prices. Good scrap yard, good prices and great bunch of guys!
We run a auto repair shop in Hialeah and go through car batteries constantly. Been bringing car batteries here for about 6 months. Brought in about 14 car batteries from customer replacements here today. They weighed everything, explained the pricing per battery, and we were done in like 20 minutes. They also take scrap aluminum which makes it convenient to do everything in one trip. Good spot for auto shops in Miami.
First time selling metal. Found these guys online not knowing that I was walking in to a legendary place. All the employees/owner were kind and welcoming. The owner was willing to take the time to explain and answer any of my questions. If you are always selling scrap metal or if it’s your first time, go with USA Scrap Metal.
Been coming here for years. Consistently fair prices on all the coppers and aluminums. Never had an issue with anything. Julio and his crew run a solid operation. They also have dumpster rentals which I’ve used for larger cleanup jobs. Great local business.
Honestly had no clue what I was doing when I showed up with a truck bed full of old metal junk from my dad's garage cleanout. Two broken lawnmowers, some steel shelving, aluminum window frames, and a bunch of copper pipe. The crew here didn't make me feel stupid for not knowing anything. They explained how they price different metals and what they could actually take. Ended up getting like $160 which seemed fair for what looked like trash to me. Whole thing took maybe 35 minutes including unloading.
I manage a machine shop and we produce consistent scrap aluminum shavings and offcuts from our CNC operations, plus occasional steel and brass pieces. This scrap yard has handled our account for about 14 months now. They understand different aluminum alloys which matters for accurate pricing since we work with 6061 and 7075. They provide regular pickup service for our boxes. Pricing is super transparent. They are very profesional and very easy to communicate with. Located conveniently for our logistics trucks coming from the Medley area.
Sold about 200 lbs of mixed copper(#1 and #2) and some aluminum. They seperated everything properly and explained the different pricing for each type. Really appreciated the transperancy. They showed me the weights on the scale and broke down receipt by metal type. Their current market price was competitive. Will be back with more materials from our HVAC Jobs.
I've been a customer here for a couple of years, but my recent experience was very disappointing.
Today alone, the owner changed the price twice.
Aswell the owner was extremely rude and unprofessional toward me despite my long-term business.
Instead of addressing my concerns professionally, the owner responded in a dismissive and disrespectful manner, which made the situation unnecessarily uncomfortable. I have starters and they called the starters Plastic. They are highly unaware of different kinds of products. A transformer is filled with copper wire winded. They were also uneducated about that. This place is a SCAM!! I also had to advise the two uneducated helpers they had to weigh my products I had to tell their two workers to separate the two different kinds of wires because they are two different prices.
After being mistreated as a recurrent customer, I took my business elsewhere, and I heard bad things about this business. They are known for unprofessionalism and rudeness in the area.
DONT GO HERE !!!!
They deserve a ZERO ⭐ ‘s
I had a very disappointing experience with this scrap metal company. I arrived based on pricing information that was discussed beforehand, but once on site, the prices were changed without prior notice before the transaction was completed.
When I asked for clarification about the pricing change, the interaction became uncomfortable. I felt spoken to in a dismissive and condescending manner, and the overall tone was unprofessional. As a customer, I did not feel respected during the interaction.
Transparent pricing and respectful communication are important in any business. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. Based on this interaction, I would not recommend this company.
Great service and very informative. The guys were ready to help and un load. The whole time keeping us informed of all the different metals. Definitely recommend this place.
John jacob is the biggest Human Resources asset in this company. His hospitality is top-notch and has a great personality. Ready to help with any issues that seems unsolvable. Highly recommend.
I recently used USA Scrap to buy some copper and aluminum, I am extremely satisfied with the service. The entire process was smooth and hassle-free.
They provided a fair price for the scrap cooper, and I appreciated how transparent they were throughout the process. The crew was efficient and very organized/
I highly recommend USA Scrap. They’re my go-to for any future recycling needs!
They have a very great crew on site. They helped me unload all my scrap and weighed it very quickly. Their prices are also the best compared to the other yards i called.
Bro I love this spot they always take care of me and they’re literally the best spot to come see in the whole river forget all those other people these people actually take care of you And try to match Maximize your profit
Compared to the areas around them they have way better prices! Not even by $0.10 more like $0.50+! Great people too! Very friendly and considerate! Made $535 from our 224 pounds of AC radiators and 47 pounds of cooper!
Exceptional experience with USA Scrap . Their prompt service and fair evaluations for cables, copper, radiators, exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend! Ask for Jhon ! He honored the prices given on the phone.
Great place to get some extra cash and of course to recycling the metal we don’t use anymore.
Excellent customer service, I recommend it %
