Recent reviews paint a polarized picture of Orlando Scrap Metal Recycling in Orlando, FL: 56/100. On the upside, many cite competitive non‑ferrous prices, help unloading, quick in/out, a clean, open yard, and decent used‑parts finds. Downsides recur: volatile staff behavior, disputed grading/weights and hard‑to‑see scales, faulty engines/transmissions and warranty friction, occasional upselling/bundling, and high prices on small parts. Steel is typically not accepted. Finding parts can be easy or maddening—overall, value is there, but customer service is inconsistent.
What clients say about Orlando Scrap Metal Recycling in Orlando (FL)
Absolutely do not sell your materials here whatever you do. They will do everything in their power to rip you off. They called my clean number one copper dirty brass and argued with me about it. I will absolutely never come here again probably the worst scrapyard I have ever been to.
Didn't actually use their services but would like to acknowledge Jeff. He answered my call and and was very polite and helpful. Hope to use them in the future for something else
Hello sir! I am a scrap metal recycler from Taiwan. I want to purchase your company's scrap iron and scrap iron cans for bale. Can you add my WhatsApp number:886912143876.
I drive past many other scrap yards to come here. They offer the best price and always willing to help unload. They pay well for coax which keeps me coming back. Best place in Orlando.
Whatever you do, don’t show up during nap time at this place. If you have 1 item on top of great metal that they don’t want to handle, they punish you for waking them up by sending you to the place next door. If you get lucky and pass their tough judgement of metal and they actually help you, don’t count on seeing your weight until after you get your ticket. I’m pretty sure that the state requires a display to be easily seen at all times. At least they act that way when the state is there to inspect their scales probably because of complaints. Yeah their prices are really good, but if you’re not getting paid for what you really have, is that higher price better? Ever since the last owner passed away a few years ago this place has been a joke. Save your time and don’t get frustrated. Hit the place next door or make the drive to Titusville. At least you won’t have to worry about waking up the staff and you can see your weights without having to ask permission. Now I get to wait for a response from the owner defending their joke of a business like they have done with every other less than average review. Gotta love seeing the great customer service of arguing with their customers on a public forum like this!
Good experience, they helped unload my aluminum. The prices are fair. There was a small issue, but the guy at the counter corrected it. Keep in mind they don't accept anything a magnet sticks too. I was going to bring a few tons of steel but when I asked the prices for steel one of the workers advised me they don't accept steel. I would go here again.
Excellent service they were very friendly and helpful their shop is very clean for a recycling place nice open yard easy to get in and out of and they're very reasonable on their prices so keep America green and recycle thank you for the great service Orlando scrap metal see you next time.
Great option for all your non-ferrous. Super competitive pricing and great service. They even help unload everything and get you in and out in no time. Way better experience than the other larger yards in the area. Highly Recommended!
Just dropped off a bit of copper, They were friendly, courteous, and even unloaded it. Price was fantastic. Will definitely be bringing all my scrap here again.
Always been pleasant going here. We go atleast once every 3 months. It's an hour long trip but well worth compared to our local options. Which we've had poor experiences with, from scamming, to not having cash ready on hand, or paying us significantly less than this yard. At this yard, they are honest and great people. For those complaining about not seeing the scale, we always weigh our stuff before we go, and they are always dead on and match our weigh in reading. They are very professional as well. I also recall this one time someone was bothering me, who strolled in on their bike, asking if I can take some of their scraps and cans, but the staff saw this and kindly got him to leave me alone. This yard has never let me down, and I appreciate them.
Helpfull staff, paid top dollar. They had me unloaded and out the door in 3 minutes. I would give 5 stars but It's a bit shady that you can't see your weight.
Took a bunch of metal down there they were given prices for aluminum sheet which is $0.25 a pound and all what I had I had more in Extrusion 6061 which was $0.65 a pound don't feel they were totally honest
The. People are very friendly , helpful , fast , the only issue I have is NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE ACTUAL WEIGHT OF TOTAL POUNDS , as a customer we should have the right to see that the scales are calibrated correctly , and not getting cheated , seems a bit crooked to me ,
I understand scales are inspected , just as you said gas station pumps , and grocery stores , the difference is we can see the price at pumps and price and weight at grocery stores ,
Jeff greeted me like a gentlemen and was extremely accommodating and friendly. He also helped me unload my scrap. The entire process was quick and smooth and I received top dollar for my scrap. Thanks,
The owner was mean! I have taken my cans here for years and never had any trouble. Today I took a truck load of a aluminum clean all but 2 roof vents(had some tar and rocks) and had 3 pieces of stainless and he treated me like I was dirt. I will never take 1 thing to him ever again. Sir you will no longer make a penny off of me. Your mean! Thank you E&H for my $97
I own a plumbing company and scrap here a few times a year. I have always found the crew here to be helpful and honest. They pay cash and I have always had good business dealings here. I will keep coming back. Thanks Guys. Jeff Wines
Just be careful when going here I used to go here for years and I just recently tried another place but that place has to send you a check for anything over 25 pounds of copper tubing and I did not want to wait so I came back here and they only paid me for 36 pounds when the other place was weighing in at 55 pounds......don't think home depot buckets weigh 19lbs.....oh well lesson learned. I'll wait next time
Terrible customer service!!!! Was told they did not want my business anymore because I went across the street last week with my scrap.The scrap yard across the street paid more money than the 25 cents a pound they were trying to give me.I own my own company and would never treat people the way these people do.Horrible place stay away unless you want to be ri
