What clients say about Western Illinois Iron & Metals, LLC in Colchester (IL)
Prices were terrible. Got 86$ for a load the other scrap yard at the other side of town would have paid a couple hundred dollars for. Will NOT be continuing business with them
My husband and I have dealt with this business for a few years always helpful and friendly and their prices are always fair. Thank You Western Illinois Iron and Metal
Save your time just take it across town to the other place better prices Took daughter so she could take cans in she got $13.00, I got a nail in my tire & cost me $25.00 to get fix they need to run a magnet over the can drop off
Have always taken our scrap here but the last 3 times all they want to do is argue if something is shred or non prep. Or they will try to give me shred Price on a load mostly heavy gauge with a couple pieces of tin in with it. Would love to continue to do business here but not if the pricing isn't going to be fair.
