My husband, his father and family has been going to 419 scrapyard for many years. We went there about 3 months ago and weight was taken away from us. We find out later that the scale was messed up. But we lost. Today we went there and our sheet aluminum was weighed out to 200lbs even. We knew this was wrong because My husband and I loaded the aluminum. We told the scale worker that we were putting our metal back on the truck and weighing it at the precious metal scale. It weighed out 100lbs more. Then the burley guy came over to the the scale and started spewing out orders instead of helping them to fix the problem. Who gave him the authority to act as if it were his scrap yard. You two need to remain aware of what you are doing and if you are doing anything to hinder your conduct, it must stop. We knew that the metal was estimated. But it was everyone else fault because we wanted it re-weighed. Thats how the problem was treated. If someone took money from their checks, they would be knocking the door down to the office!! This scrapyard was there long before the him and will be there long after him. Just do not cheat us of our money. If you don't feel up to doing the job right, move aside and let someone else have the job that need it.There is no time for flexing. Only the owner can do this and he has never mistreated us
I was cheated out of my body weight (180 lbs) of scrap metal. They weighted my truck going in when I was off the scale and weight my truck at the end when I was on the scale.
Back in the day you couldn't beat this place, but the last few times I've gone there they not only directed me to drop material in the wrong area. Then tried to tell me I didn't have what I brought in with me and tried to call me a liar and on top of all that the weight seemed way off and we're under priced like crazy... If you do go, make sure you know exactly what you have how much and always check your ticket to make sure they didn't mark your material and price wrong like they did me ! Used to love this place now nothing but rude attitude from the employees and ripping me off.
This is LAST RESORT. Trying to find an employee or where to go almost impossible. third of the scrap hit the floor and wasn’t paid for. They are really good at answering the phone. Let me tell you. They’re also really polite. I’m being sarcastic.
The heavy equipment operators are either careless, negligent, or disrespectful. Whatever the case may be, they suck at their job. They dropped a car from 4 feet onto my trailer, took a chunk out of the tire, cracked welds on my trailer, then the equipment operator almost hit my truck with his front loader right before he said it’s not that serious and they’d buy me a new tire. I do not care about an $80 trailer tire. I care that they treated my equipment like it was trash.
On top of all this, the yard is tiny and poorly laid out. I’ll never come back here again. I’d rather make the drive to somewhere with a better laid out yard and equipment operators who don’t treat your property like trash.
I had aluminum cans to be recycled, not sure what to expect after reading the bad reviews but I had a great experience. The woman in the office told me exactly what to do and the guy working the cans was nice and I had no idea what I was doing. The only bad thing I can say is that there are a lot of trucks going in and out so be careful.
The absolute worst recycling company on the planet they do not know how to take an email receipt or a receipt from eBay motors or anybody else from online. They expect you to print it out and give it to him instead of actually looking at a receipt or emailing a receipt to him do they understand that we're in the 2023 and fax machines are going away. If I was trying to sell any kind of metal copper whatever I would never go to this place!
There are tons and tons of recycleable materials here it's mind blowing. This is definitely a place u have to take ur hat off to bcus I wouldn't want to have to do what they do. It's definitely an underappreciated business, you have to see it to understand the scope of what this place is. Thank you to those who work here, we appreciate you.
Read reviews before going so was kinda expecting to run into the lady with the attitude .we pull up with dump trl full of copper and three different types of metals in trl Seperate .she tells me to just ride it over scale and she'll weigh truck and trl.so we ask how are you going to separate the copper prices from the other three types of metals in trl she looks at me dumfounded and screams well if your going to be like that go elsewhere lol so we did .she going to pay you scrap metal prices for straight copper and aluminum not how this works
First time scrapper. They were very professional and correctly categorized the metal, weighed it, and paid me promptly. The prices per pound were clearly marked on the board upfront.
Great experience. Just had a little over 70 lbs of metal that I didn't want going into a landfill. Seems like an efficient operation andas an Environmental Science teacher it was interesting looking at what is brought there and finding out where it goes.
As long as you arrive at least 30 minutes before they close everything's great. They want to go home when it's time for them to, they don't want to stay longer for people who want to show up late. They have great customer service and friendly staff. I believe right now they're paying more for metals and aluminum then anywhere else that I know of
The staff were awesome and helped me separate the difference types of metals. It is always way more comfortable using 419 metals than any other processors. Thanks again guys.
Everyone is always very helpful from check in to check out.
It's always amazing to watch the employees at work. They all know exactly what is going on at all times.
GREAT JOB ALL...
This was my 1st time there today. I had no idea what to do or how to do it. Woman at the scale was very nice and talked me through what to do. I read complaints about rudeness, that was NOT my experience at all. I would definitely go there again.
I give this place 1 star because of how rude the scale person that wears the hat always is she told us that they dont take safes but the claw machine took it off of our trailer she came out of her way to cone yell at us and told the claw guy not to help us and to destroy the safe and put it on our trailer without our permission she always has a adittude she comes to work dress inappropriately she leans on your car and opens your door without your permission overall just a rude person
After looking over some of the reviews I was braced for the worst, whatever that might be, but upon our arrival we were greeted with a smile by a Yard Dispatcher who asked what we had. After telling her I had an pool heater she directed me over to an area which I think she called the 'smalls area'. Again we were greeted by gentleman who was friendly, but extremely busy. He took the time to look over what I had and then proceeded to help me unload it. There was a first time voucher form I had to fill out but the entire transaction took 5, maybe 10 minutes. I had disassembled the entire heater into various sections, which may have made the process go smoother. I was then given a receipt & proceeded to the office where they took my receipt (along with my Driver's License) and processed it. The Cashier knew I was a first timer and again in more than a friendly manner walked me through the remaining process.
As busy as they looked to me (and I overheard comments on how busy they were from those around me) it was quite quick & efficient.
I would highly recommend 419 Metal-Auto to anyone, even if you're not a veteran scrapper like myself.
I'm giving it 5 stars because of the guys at the scales the other ppl are rude but you only deal with them for a short time while they process your info and pay you. But besides them it's a great place.
The operator was very helpful! I asked many questions and they answered each one and her deaneamor was very polite. I would definitely recommend this place.
