I’ve been going to American Scrap for DECADES and they are always quick, clean, honest and professional. I’ve never had one bad experience…
POPEYE outside in the yard is quite the hustler, running around and always getting you in and out quickly… GO POPEYE! Thanks American Scrap!!
My wife and I operate three multi-family rental properties and generate several hundred pounds of scrap metal per year, sometimes as much as a thousand pounds in a year from failed appliances, abandoned furniture, plumbing replacements, and other metallic refuse. We make four to six visits per year to American Scrap Metal in Alsip to drop off steel, aluminum, brass, motors, and copper. The drop off yard is kept clean, the yard master, Popeye, is very courteous, and our interactions are always pleasant there. Payment occurs immediately after drop off. We love this convenient option to keep recyclable metals out of our landfills and collect a little spare cash for the effort.
I don't go anywhere else! They always have the best price per pound offer and you're in and out. You drive up inside the garage Bay. They take out your scrap weigh it. You get paid and leave. I've been to a few different places and American scrap the best. The guys that work there like their job and you can tell. I would recommend
Ehhhh these guys that weigh the copper are sneaky . They’ll try to distract you when they weigh it and they let it sit on the scale for like 2 seconds and tell you a BS number . Make sure you are watching while they weigh don’t let them distract you
While clearing out my dad's belongings, I have made several trips to American Scrap Metal Services. Popeye out in the yard has been super helpful assisting me with proper identification of the different types of metal. The whole process was easy...get weighed, unload, get paid and go!
Very unprofessional place and don’t go in there unless you’re willing to get treated like a peasant!! Popeye and the guy who pays him are both ripoffs and both times I came there they tried to cheat me the first time 2 weeks ago The owner’s son or nephew tried ripping me off for $50 until I brought it to his attention. He ended up making it right so I cane back today And this time they got me cheated me for $50 again. I just won’t come back here anymore. I’m not gonna make a big deal about it.
I've been to a lot of scrap yards by far. You guys are the most professional and hats off to mister popeye, who always gets me straight in and straight out. Very professional guy
Not Popeyes
Not Popeye the sailor man
But Popeye from American scrap metal is the best. Great attitude & very helpful. Will definitely come back when I need to
First time at American Scrap- BIG shoutout to POPEYE for his help in navigating the process. He was AMAZING and made my day. I was thoroughly impressed with the staff overall and recommend doing business here!
Popeye was excellent in helping us with our scrap. I highly recommend this place to all who scrap metal, copper, aluminum . Such a pleasure to deal with. Thank you. We will be back when we have more.
Popeye and his crew were great! Super friendly honest people who know what they are doing!! You won’t be disappointed by the service nor the prices. Give them a try you won’t regret it.
My future husband, myself and his friend visited the yard to get rid of some old stuff we had . The first staff member we saw was Popeye!! He is such a nice guy! He had all of us laughing after a hard days work ! It was our first time and he made it easy! We will definitely return here !
Popeye was great! Walked me through my first time ever scrapping metal, and had me in and out as quick as he could. Great place, will be recommending to others!
In and out in no time thanks to Popeye! He is always gleaming with a positive attitude and knows that time is money.
Thank you for another great experience at American Scrap 👍🏻
Everyone loves Popeye. Hard working great guy. When I pull up on a hot day he always gives me an ice cold bottle of water. All the guys inside are great and extremely helpful too. I have to spotlight Jessica and all the girls in the office though. Not only are they the best looking girls in the scrap industry (no exaggeration) but they stand by the "we'll beat any price" motto. They go out of their way to make sure you get the best value for your scrap and present it to you with the best smiles around. If they ever put out a scrap girl calendar I'll be the first in line! LOL.
My son came with scrap today. The truck broke down. They welcomed my son and puppy into the cool air. After the tow truck came an employee drove my son home!! Thank you so much! Oh, my family loves Popeye!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ve been going to American Scrap Metal for a while now, and every time, the service is top-notch. I especially want to give a big shoutout to Popeye — this guy always goes above and beyond to help me out, especially when it comes to wire and aluminum poles. He’s knowledgeable, friendly, and never too busy to lend a hand or answer questions.
It’s hard to find people who genuinely care about their work and the customers they serve, but Popeye and the crew at American Scrap Metal definitely do. The whole place runs smoothly, and I always leave feeling like I got a fair deal. Highly recommend this spot if you’re scrapping!
While there, it was a horrible experience from a worker by the name of Popeyes, he was ride with no cause and shorted our load because of dirt and rubber that I could have swept aside like suggested to weigh it
YOUR EMPLOYEE CHUCK HOWEVER WAS AMAZING, HAD GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MADE THE EXPERIENCE MUCH BETTER. I HOPE THAT HE GETS RECOGNIZED FOR HIS WORK!!!!!!
I've been here twice and I have never had a problem with the prices I got for my items nor did I have a issue with any of the employees. I recommend you come here and scrap your metal and copper etc. Good place with great prices too.
This place is the best! POPEYE runs the yard like clockwork, he is a great guy.
It's a recycling yard guys not a garage dump. Keep your trash contained. POPEYE works hard to keep the place CLEAN
Me and my husband came here because it was recommended to us ,popeye was very quick in helping us , made our visit fast and easy ! Would highly recommend coming here !
