What clients say about Don's Recycling in North Port (FL)
I called ahead to make sure they would take what I had on a small utility trailer. The gal that answered the phone said they weren’t paying for steel, but I could drop it off. When I was about half unloaded, I was told by the forklift operator that they didn’t have room for the rest of my load, which was some metal roofing. Instead of saving time and gas I still have to go to Port Charlotte or Venice. I won’t be going back to Don‘s and can’t recommend them to anyone else.
I've been in this place 2 times now and was given the price of #2 copper when it was clearly #1 bare bright. The first time I didn't realize it until I was away from the property. The 2nd time I let it be known that it was #1. The woman who was working there (and clearly doesn't know her job) was told that it was #1 and she still wrote my ticket up as #2 So I'll never be going back there.
Interesting experience. I will give them 3 stars for now because the last time I was there, the service was 5 stars, but today it was not good. Probobly 1 star. I cut the cooper joints because the price is higher, but they insisted on weighing it all together, same with aluminum. I know it's not much, but every dollar and ounce counts. Also, the weird thing is that they gave me 3 dollars less than what they owed me, probably a mistake, but I will make sure to count my money there next time. I will definitely give them another chance and update this review next time.
I advise going to Venice or Port Charlotte with your scrap. The average market price for #1 insulated copper wire is $1.89 now, they tried paying me $1.18/lb at Don's.
Very helpful staff but its a small yard so please pay attention to the signs and follow the protocol to keep things efficient.
Nice family run place good pricing convenient location for North Port
Awesome place everyone is very friendly and helpful
I highly recommend Don's Recycling for metal recycling. Easy drop off and fast. Not sure why some people complain that they had to unload by theirselves. Every Recycling I have gone to you unload yourself. I rate 5 out of 5 and they paid me rather than I pay the city dump to get rid of.
Terrible attitude. Guy seems like he hates his job. I brought over 5 thousand pounds of coils and copper and this guy had the worst attitude. I have been going there since Don owned it and then it was great. You have to be supper hard up to take them anything. Change your management and I will be back. Till then I will go to sarasota or allied in port Charlotte. By the way I was there at 11:45. Service sucked. I told them to move there dumpsters I’m leaving.
Worst scrap yard i've ever been to in my life No help Very rude 100 degress outside and expect me to pick up 400 lbs of metal fence like who are you ppl And got ripped off on the weight of it Also something that could have took 10 minutes was a hour ordeal i rather drive anywhere else then come to this establishment Stay away
They are very unprofessional I brought clean extruded aluminum and it had paint on it so they said that it was mixed. It had no nails or nothing. It was a solid beam of aluminum that was taking off of a Humvee and they said that it was mixed aluminum, not one nail or bolts in it quarter inch thick aluminum bracket. I don’t recommend anyone go there then I called them back to talk to a manager and the guy told me I know what you had an I was wrong that if I want it back to bring the money back so Unprofessional!!!!
Dropped off my first ever load of aluminium cans. Wasn't quite sure what to expect. The gentleman who helped me was super friendly and polite. Was a quick in and out and pocketed beer money for the day! I definitely recommend this place and will be back.
They had no option for 0 stars so im stuck with this 1 star review for Dons recycling in north port. We came in with some scrap metal and some stainless steel, ower came out and said we had steel. They were very unprofessional and are preying on people who dont know prices of metal
I have been coming here for years and honestly was never pleasant visit BUT TODAY was GREAT it must be under new management the staff was very nice pricing was very fair. I was not sure I wanted to even go here but after today's experiance...I. Will go back anyone that had a bad experiences I highly suggest u go back and see the changes A BIG THANKS TO THE 2 STAFF
Great staff It is always a pleasure to come here 😁
Don't come here they literally rip you off it's not worth it took 350 pounds of copper and got $175! 50 cent Per pound. Don't come here unless you want to be rob!
Horrible customer service. Website shows open on Saturday till 12:30. Got there at 11:40. Sat in line behind a roll-off truck. After a pick up unloaded doors all closed. Went inside at 11:46 asked a guy for some help. He told me we close down at 11:45 so they can get out of there. Only had 2 small appliances items would have taken 5 minutes.
Can't complain about the pricing, money is money. The people are another story, the customer service is the worst. Can't ask one question without getting side eye. Really sad to see that they aren't grateful for the business.
I am very happy with this place! I just dropped off some old rusty mobile home stairs, some wire that FPL left behind, and an old electric box that I had replaced earlier this year. Not only did I get rid of that stuff cluttering my yard but I also got $12 and change :-). Thank you!
Will definitely go here again. Very polite. Not sure about the bad reviews. I really couldn't complain about anything.
Friendly people and real nice system so if busy won't be to long of a wait no what they are doing over there
Called prior to our visit, was told they would take all scrap from our fabricating company... but upon arrival it was a problem.. and than they gave us change for all... very concerning you trust the honesty..amd than it's clear someone was not honest. Would recommend going north to Sarasota
Got here at 11:58. They clearly state that they are open until 1230 and everything is locked up and closed. False advertisement they should really update that they close before noon on Saturdays
I go there frequently as I'm a construction contractor and deal with a lot of aluminum structures, carports, sheds and lunch time
Disrespectful, rude employees/management, owner makes up "rules and regulations" as he goes, just so he can make more money and give a lower rate for the scrap. Basically takes advantage of the fact that he's pretty much the only scrap yard in town. I've seen him take pictures of people's license plates! That can not be legal!!!!
Good place to take scrap metal, especially copper (even insulated wire) and aluminum. With current pricing, it is worth the time. Good, quick service.
Been going there for yrs. Never had ne issues. Price is always fair on bare bright
Lowest prices paid here
We was there this morning, bringing aluminum cans and steel and other aluminum.This Kid that supposedly is in Charge has the WORST attitude toward the Public I have ever Seen. I asked him if He always talk to Customers in such a Manor and His Response was “If you weren’t a Old Man I would Kick Your Ass” We have bringing Aluminum to this Place for years , This kid could single handed Make People go to other Recycling Places
Friends, don't go through the trouble of loading up your steel and taking it to Dons recycle they are rude and then quoted me 1/10th of the national average I drove off and went elsewhere.
