ABC Recycling in
Marietta (GA)

Friendly honest and the only scrap yard I'll use in Cobb County. I once felt differently but after only receiving $1 per pound on 166 pounds of cat6 when 2 weeks prior I recieved $1.40 at m&m in Austell then they gave me $3.19 for 58 pounds of bare bright again 2weeks ago at m&m I recieved $ 3.74 That's a $66.40 loss on the cat6 and a 31.90 loss on the bare bright That is a total loss of $98.30 6/28/25 was and will be the very last time I ever go to abc. M&M recycling in Austell has the best prices hands down

One way in, one way out. Pandemonium trying to get on and off the scale, vehicles have no direction and push their way into the queue. No help offloading. For a pickup load of wrought iron furniture got a whopping $13.00. Didn't even pay for the pickup use, much less my time. Total circus in my view.

I've been coming here for over 10 years, and I can say that this is definitely a good solid place to take scrap metal. The process is very straightforward and simple, plus they give you a good fair price. The service from the staff varies from very friendly, too so-so. That's not bad, considering no one there seems to be at the point of being rude or disrespectful. However, the reason why I'm not giving it five stars, is because it can be VERY hard to get in and out, ESPECIALLY if they are very busy. There's times I have sat and waited for over 15 minutes, just waiting on people to move over. I mean it, the place could be a real cluster-F on a Saturday or right before they close. I really wish that they would just buy up that abandoned Mexican restaurant next door. That would make things go a heck of a lot more smoothly. Otherwise, it's definitely good.

Called today to get pricing on scrapping a suburban. The man that answered was absolutely rude and went out of his way to lose my business. Do not recommend ever using this place. Lost a customer today due to his attitude on the phone.

I used to go here all the time and they were good and trustworthy. I went today and they are just stealing from you now. They're ringing up alternators and starters and electric motors as irony aluminum Even when properly sorted and informed at the scales what they were. On top of having to wait almost 30 minutes just to get to a unloading spot due to their lack of room on the property.

This was my first time taking something to be recycled and had no idea what to expect. Lot was easy to navigate. The two gentlemen with whom I interacted were very welcoming and made the whole process easy and quick. 5-star experience in every way.

THE LAST TIME I go to SA Recycling. Not only is ABC more conveniently located but they also, typically give you more money for the metal you bring in. They also don't rip you off like SA does. Every time I go to SA I instantly regret not going to ABC. Also, they are closer to me anyway. The scale person I saw last week when I was there at ABC was very competent and friendly.

Great experience at this place. Everyone was super helpful and even helped explain how to get the most out of the material that was being recycled. Prices were good and they provide a receipt with all the values and weights. Payment is through a check, which is fine for me. This is a much better experience than other places I have been that feel shady. I will be coming back.

I’ve gone to ABC Recycling multiple times and every time I go Raul is always running the yard! Getting everyone in and out and being super productive and helpful. Raul does an awesome job every single time! Thanks Raul :)

I repair garage doors for a living. I’ve taken my scrap metal and old openers here for the last 6 years. They are always nice and the place is run very efficiently! I’ll never go anywhere else.

I’ve taken many pieces of old equipment and scrap metal and always got what I thought was more than fair. The one time I thought I got ripped off, I called back and they acknowledged their mistake and gave me another check with the correct amount. They didn’t have to. They’re very friendly and helpful too. I like doing business with them!

I had several different types of metals to recycle. An old water heater, expansion tank, copper pipe and aluminum deck chairs. This was my first time going to ABC recycling. Raul was extremely helpful and professional. Highly recommend if you have metal to recycle!

small facility but seems to run very efficiently. It can be a little tight if you have a trailer, but workable. Employees were helpful for the most part and easy to talk to. Raul was very knowledgable . this place pays more and is much better than where I used to go (SA recycling, I'll throw my recy material in the dumpster before I waste my time with them again) Try ABC big difference!!!

We went to ABC Recycling today to drop off some unwanted scrap metal. We were greeted by Raul who was very friendly and helpful in guiding us along. This employee deserves a special acknowledgment due to the experience we had. Definitely recommend using ABC to anyone looking to dispose of any metals. Again, great job to Raul.

It was extremely busy:30pm when I went to recycle some appliances. Not an average experience. The entire lot was carpeted with all kinds of private and commercial vehicles. So full in fact that it was like playing one of those slide letter puzzles. A man named RAUL was coordinating the process. He acknowledged me, was kind, efficient, polite, fast and professional. Additionally, the place was”clean”. More than one person came up to say hello and reassure me. Raul directed the traffic flow, ran paperwork and payments in and out without skipping a beat. Backed up and directed vehicles. Place is ran right! What else can I say? Thank you ABC

Been dumping my worn out metal here for a couple of years now. Fast simple and straightforward. Wish metal prices would go up for the heavier items. Quick check with a valid ID and you're off with a little extra cash.

Line of cars & trucks to get in at 4:30 pm on Tuesday. Waited about 30 minutes & right before 5 pm, two workers came out the gate & started directing people when & where to go and they cleared up the entire line in about 20 minutes. I wonder if there would have even been a line had they been doing this the entire time.

ABC Recycling ♻️ staff was very helpful at the peak of their busy hour. We arrived around 3 and waited in line off cobb parkway until one of the employees asked if we were there to dump aluminum cans and he directed us out of the line and to a parking space. After that a different staff member brought us a bucket for our cans and after loading it he picked it up on the fork lift and put it on the scale! We received $00.75 per lbs on aluminum. How Fortunate! I recommend this business to everyone wanting to recycle anything. ♻️ recycling is the future

I don't generally write reviews, but ABC Recycling definitely deserves a review and for all to know what an excellent, functional recycling yard this place is. I recycle often in multiple states and cities as I need to tear out the data cables and electrical when my customers evacuate an office space. I generally search for a local recycling yard near the location of the site. I surveyed my project in Marietta on a Saturday evening. While on site, I Google'd places to recycle near this location. I began calling the locations Saturday night in order to leave messages and receive callbacks on Monday. To my surprise, Adam(owner) answered the call! He was very friendly and although he was occupied, promised that he would have the best rates and to not call anyone else. We spoke again on Monday and confirmed pricing. He was absolutely correct and offered the best prices for the materials that I would recycle which included communications cabling *copper), electrical wire, aluminum and steel. Not only did they pay great prices, but the process is excellent! I have never been in and out of a recycle yard so quickly! On my first day, I spoke with Rick (manager) who was also very friendly and had spoken with Adam regarding my prices and assisted with setting up my account in their system. As soon as I arrived with my first load, a staff member guided me to park and immediately signaled another on a forklift to bring a bin to my van. They helped me unload quickly aalnd fill the bins. The bins also have the weight of the bin printed on the side, so you know exactly what to deduct from the scale. Another staff member came with a bobcat and took the first bin to the scale while we were filling the other bin. Once I went inside, another staff member took my driver's license and processed me quickly then advised to hand my ID to the cashier. She printed the check and paperwork showing my itemized materials and price per line. The entire process took less than ten minutes, from the time that I parked to the time that I left! I returned every other day that week with a load and experienced same excellent, fast and efficient service each day! As a bonus, they're open on Saturday! This helped tremendously and allowed for us to leave Saturday night instead of Monday. I will definitely bring any and all of my recycling metals to ABC RECYCLING in the future within a 60-mile radius. Even is I'm in Alpharetta or another part of town with recyclinyards closer, they're worth the drive since they process people so quickly and pay the most in the Atlanta metropolitan area! No hassle, friendly, efficient service and you receive your check on the spot. It truly has been the best experience that I have encountered and I recycle often, including in other places in the Atlanta area. Time is money and I generally dread going to the recycle yards since they're generally time consuming. ABC RECYCLING is definitely super fast and efficient, I cannot stress this enough! I recommend that everyone go to ABC RECYCLING . If you should have an issue, ask for Rick or Adam and I'm confident that they'll be happy to help!

I'm at ABC recycling at least once or twice a week. They do a great job. If you've never been as can be a little overwhelming, but just ask them what to do. Friendly staff and fair pricing for your scrap metal.

Since my prior review, I have spoken to Adam, the owner. He took all of my complaints into consideration and had his GM talk to his employees. I was very happy this time around to come in and get treated like a customer! I will continue to come back to ABC. Thank you again, adam.

First time here to dump my old bed frame. The staff is helpful and friendly. One of them guided me to back up the car to the weight scale and dump the metal, and so on... Checkout is also quick with a valid ID.

Wow what amazing service ABC recycling provides. I basically drove up and was greeted by Lupe who helped me unload and went up to the counter they paid me and off I went. Simple easy and fast. Will Continue to use them for all my recycling needs.

2 stars for my first experience with this company. I will say the staff was helpful and very nice but don’t expect market prices for your scrap. I can only review my first experience, they may pay better for repeat customers. Since prices aren’t posted they can pay what they want.

Lots of great people working here, very helpful. They were even cooking up free lunch!

Been going here for years, never had any problems until my last trip. Noticed that when I got to the bank ,looked at my receipt 2 items that I turned in were not listed. Only about $7, but when your on Social security every penny counts!

Great experience, they paid what they promised over the phone after I told them what I got. They were the highest bidder for my metal. Very very fast turn around. Scraped 5k lbs of metal and had a check in my hand in less than 15 minutes. Or less.
