If I could give us zero, give us zero. I get here the people in the office don’t want to help, and then I finally get my scrap metal unloaded. I had 400 pounds of scrap metal that I got $25 for. Made me sick to my stomach. Knowing good and well they’re going to turn around and sell it for way more than that. But they told me that’s all that they can do. I do not recommend coming here. I would go somewhere other than SA recycling. I had good steel workout stuff from a gym, a white bench weights and bars. Good solid equipment. They label it as tinn

Nice employees, very disorganized, just trying to drop off aluminum cans since our recycling center closed down in Warner Robins, will probably just go to the recycling center on Robins AFB, and give them away for free to Happy hour, just glad to get some money at SA after crushing cans for my grandsons college fund , just glad to get out of there without a flat tire 👎👎👎👎

They started off amazing but my last two trips have been nothing but a disaster. They underpay and cheat you on weight. Never again. $4 for nearly 70 lbs of commercial grade stainless steel and 14 lbs of aluminum? Up yours. There are other recycling centers around here that offer less, but they won't screw you over on weight and metal type like SA does. Avoid SA LIKE THE PLAGUE.

I give it less Stars if I could. I took a load of aluminum down there and was paid $27 for the entire load. They said it was tin. I took the exact same load a week later to another metal recycling place in Macon and received $268 for my aluminum. I will never be back to this recycling center and will never recommend it to anybody that I know.

Thank goodness for Wil, if he hadn't helped us out we wouldn't have any idea how to approach this process, it was a free for all. He was helpful even getting the prices right, were quoted one thing by Wil, and someone tried to give us less. The scale seemed to be off about 50 LBS to what we had estimated beforehand. Crazy process, but made it out with a pretty good payout.

I do a lot of recycling and coming to this yard has been an experience I will never forget. All of the workers are very helpful when I come to the yard. They have no problem helping me unload everything that I bring in and help me sort it out. They do their best to get to know their customers on a first name basis and make you feel very welcome. When I go up to get paid the woman at the window is very sweet and if you have a question about your ticket she has no problem explaining things to you. I am thankful that this yard is here and that the workers are such wonderful people!

While trying to do the right thing by taking old scrap metal to a recycling center I encountered rude, lazy and incompetent employees at this center and received a flat tire. From the front desk person to the person telling me which pile to dump on in the back it was really an awful place. The whole place was a pile…no one to explain or show a newcomer what to do or talk you through it. we did learn some things along the way… God is good, the flat tire we received by going here could have been a blow out going 70 on the interstate, we randomly took a different way home and realized it was going flat in time to pull over. So if you want to do deal people like this or get a flat tire this is your best bet.

Since SA Recycling took over the yard things have gotten way better. They got rid of the old management and the new staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I got in and out very quickly and they paid me way more than their competition. I had a great experience and would recommend it to a friend.

Jaretta Ford...you can't discredit people's reviews because they still work there as you bash the place being a former employee. Doesn't make much sense to me...? If two customers fight and one pulls out a gun, what do the employees have to do with that? It's a scrap yard, not a suit and tie office, what kind of language do you expect? You're a female who worked at a scrap yard...should've had more common sense than that! I'm a former employee from a while back, worked there right when I first got out of the military while I waited on my academy date for the Macon P.D. They knew I planned on leaving and hired me anyways. there was maybe 10 of us there total and we all got along great, had amazing relationships with repeat customers and were always slammed with business.

Rude employees; the area in which you have to unload your materials is a mud pit, they won't allow you to park on the concrete because they claim that it is in their way (I was not in anyone's way many cars went right by me in and out I didn't block the gate or the drive around). It was a pretty bad experience thanks for reading and hope yours is better!

Absolute nonsense! Was told by 2 seperate employees before coming up there that scrap iron is $6.50 per 100lbs. Only after I got up there, got all my scrap unloaded, and got to the cashier, I was told that they'd only pay me $3.50 per 100lbs. Not only that, but the 2 employees I had spoken to before both denied ever saying that it was $6.50. One lady even told me that I must not have heard or understood them because they haven't paid $6.50 since early May. I will be filing a complaint with the BBB and leaving bad reviews on every form of social media and review forums. I feel cheated, stolen from, and lied to. Absolutely crooked folks working up here, don't ever go here.

I had a large load of scrap metal and this was my first time scrapping. I called around to several yards and the Lady on the phone when I called Newell was very patient and pleasant so I chose to go here. Even though I drove past several yards on my way here, I am glad I did. I had Aluminum and Tin scrap. Everyone there was very nice and helpful to me even though I did not know what I was doing. From the scale operator, the guys in the aluminum dept and the guy in the back with the tin scrap, they were all top notch. When I was leaving the man and lady in the office were fast and courteous and handed me my money. I would like to thank Fabian in the aluminum area for taking his time to explain to me how everything worked and give me space to sort my clean and dirty aluminum. IF YOU WANT TO BE TREATED NICELY AND FAIRLY GO TO NEWELL.

Honestly this recycling yard was absolutely the worst place to work perhaps in the entire city of Macon. First off the review from "Brittany K" is conflict of interest because she currently works for SA in East Point. The review from "Beth N" is also a conflict because she currently works for SA in Gainesville Ga. Naturally they will lie being that they're still employed with this company and want to make them look good. The employees at this yard lacked professionalism, empathy, and basic common sense. They had no regards for women or other co -workers. Constant filthy vulgar language being said, talked to or cursed at customers all the time. I have a video I forwarded to myself from facebook of employees watching customers fight and 1 of the customers pulled a gun on the other. Management did not lead effectively and allowed inappropriate language and behaviour to take place. They don't ensure the employee's are properly trained for the job they were hired for. Customers and vendors are ignored and mgmnt allows certain customers to be paid much higher rates for scrap than others. Men working the loaders and other equipment are on facebook live while operating the dangerous machinery. I know because I have forwarded myself other videos of this from their facebook page. Bottom line people, go somewhere else where you will be treated fairly and where your life won't be in danger because immature employees want to misuse equipment.

If you are a thief and want some fast cash, steal a car and take it here. They will violate the law with you and crush your car (without a title although required for any vehicle less than 12 years old (or else they-Newell and the thief-commit a felony). No need to worry. The cops won't do anything, the DA is afraid of them. SO you're home free. When alerted to the situation they feign stupidity (although probably not an act) or it's willful dishonesty-either way....you're clear.

Any scrap yard that doesnt let you see the weight on the scales just aint right. The website says they close at 12:00pm on Saturdays, but of course it isnt correct we drove all the way across town and arrived at 11:45am only to find out they close at 11:30. The employees definately lack in customer service skills. Overall newel recycling sucks.

I like the set up that they have. As soon as you pull into the property you can drive up on the scale. Present your ID and that's it. Easy process.
