When you figure out where to get started the person at the scale will point and tell you to follow the road to off load. Of course this is a maze and if you’re really lucky you won’t get at least one flat tire. There will be no one to show you where to unload so it’s up to you. You will be in the wrong place so an employee will attempt to scold you until he sees you’re packing. Unless you have over approximately 19 tons you will not break even on fuel to do all this.
Up arriving, it's confusing to know where to go. There are multiple entrances so getting the correct one is similar to throwing dice. There needs to be more signage. After my 3rd attempt, I arrived where I needed to be (after asking an employee). After getting everything weighed, I noticed a crooked little sign that informs you there is an automatic -10% discount for aluminum cans. Others complained about the same thing. I don't recall the discount anywhere on their website or when I called in for a price for aluminum cans. That was an unpleasant surprise. Again, after leaving the scale house, I had a hard time finding the pay clerk without signage. I finally asked an employee who gave me instructions and told me to park in a No-Parking zone and walk to the office. Another note, make sure all your aluminum is sorted ahead of time. Cans are in a category by themselves. All other types of aluminum must be sorted accordingly.
Five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was in dire need to scrap my vehicle and owner came out with the tow truck that day. When we met at the shop was greeted with friendly smiles and very nice. Would recommend to anyone that needs this service
Says updated hours opening at 8 got here at 7:30 to be in line. They didn’t open until 8:30. The answering machine says that too. It’s ridiculous. And they always have attitude.
I went to recycle my cans today. The place is 20 mins away from me and I waited in line for about 15 mins only to be turned away, because they “aren’t accepting cans right now”. There should’ve been something on the website or a sign displayed in the yard that lets us know so that we could find another place to recycle if need be. A waste of a morning.
Any good reviews from here has to be friends or family. This place socks in every possible way a scrap yard can, rude, lies, and much more. Just go next door. Try both and you tell me
Frustrating to have to back up to the bay just to unload a couple of bags of cans . The one older man is rude to the point of being obnoxious . He needs a 2 weeks vacation twice a year . He does his job and takes it seriously . I feel off the job he is a nice person but like most of us older people our stress level is not what it use to be . I would hate to see him leave because the person that would replace him couldn't do the job he does . He gets 10 stars .
The people working there very nice and very helpful. The guy at the guy was so good at his job and kept things moving! He was nice and was even sexy which made the wait easier. Prices were real low but served my purposes!
This morning I took 440 pounds of scrap metal, a couple of mowers and an old motor. We were told to weigh our stuff, unload, then re-weigh. After weighing we were given a receipt. I took it inside and asked her if I was seriously only being paid $8.80 and 440 pounds. I then asked if I could pick up what we just dumped and was told no. What a rip off!! $8.80 for 440 pounds! That’s .02 per pound! No one pays less!!! I was hoping to help pay a bill but now I can’t even get a full tank of gas! Thanks SA recycling for wasting my time and ripping me off!! We will NOT be back!!!
Scammers, ripped me off big time, didn't notice until I got home, had 47lbs of #1 ins copper and 2lbs of #2 ins copper, they wrote it up as 49lbs of #2, also had 27lbs of copper bus bars and they adjusted it to 17lbs, lady also lied about the price, said the bus bars were only 2 cent less than #1 bare when really it was 20 cent less, plus I had over 100lbs of bare #1 copper, I guess they figured since I had over 500$ worth scrap they would just rip me off, as far as I'm concerned they still owe me 75$
A great place to do business and they give the best prices in Augusta. At the weigh in you are always greeted with a smile by Wendy. She is always hustling and smiling and never keeps you waiting long in line.
