What clients say about Del's Metal in Rock Island Arsenal (IL)
I only go here if I absolutely have to...and I regret it every time. I call ahead to check their price for #1 and #2 copper and then when I get my receipt I'm never paid the price that was told to me over the phone...every time I take heavy metal there, I swear they try to kill me with their machines. It's not a very thought out area for numerous people to go to dump scrap. I prefer Alter for all my non-ferrous metals and Cimco in Milan for my ferrous. Way better areas to drop off in and I don't feel like I'm going to get killed by a machine.
9/27/25 Edit: I am changing this place to one star because once again, I call to find out prices and that's not what I'm paid when I get there. I'm over it and I will never be returning there again.
Small scale is definitely top notch they take care of the piles and piles of scrap metal I feal safer there than anywhere else and let's not forget the beautiful pay out women she deals with all of us every single day and always has a smile on her face and that takes patience thank you del's for cheering me up after wrestling with all that heavy steel ?
I've been going to dellsfor over a year, taking scrap down for extra money. Dells always has the top prices and they make it easy to take the scrap in.

Been going to dels for 15yrs today there operator smashed half my trailer down 2in from the ground and the desrespectful p. O. S owner told me it would be fine if I hit a few times with a hammer. Did over 1000 bucks worth of damage to a 2 week old trailer . The owner is such a looser he just mouthed off and couldn't even offer to fix it . That how they treat vets at dells metal.
it’s a great place!! always super friendly and ready to give a helping hand when needed!! never had any problems going there!! their prices are great!!
Del’s Metal is a family owned business in the QCA that we at Global Security Services have had the great opportunity of doing business with. In our trade we have leftover wiring and old dead batteries that fill our technicians vans and our stockroom. We have always been able to count on Del’s to give us fair market pricing on things that we would normally throw away. Keeping our facility clean along with being able to help the environment by recycling Is a no brainer. Del’s metal has a friendly and knowledgeable staff that I would recommend to anyone.
I can't believe that I have to give this scam of a place one star would love it Google would let you put a no star or a half of one I just took a load of sheet iron in the outside scale read that I weighed 6600 plus I unload then go back and re-weigh the outside scale tells me that I'm now at 5840 so now I'm under the impression that I just unloaded almost 800 pounds I'm thinking a nice little payday [how little did I realize that I was about to get the big shaft with no lub] so i park walk up the stairs open the door walk up to the new lady the one that they got to take Amys spot she ask for my name i give it to her I sign she hands me my money and receipt at this time I'm asking the skinny girl how much dirty number 2 copper wire is going for she replays all depends upon what it is so I explain power, extension, lamp, ext she says 32 cents a pound [[[ I know that Midwest recycling is willing to pay over 60 cents a pond for dirty number 2 copper wire ]]]]] so I ask how much clean number 2 copper wire is going for this is the point where I look at my receipt and notice that they only paid me for 380 pounds of dirty sheet [[[all of my sheet iron was clean]]] so I tell them that when I came in that outside scale read 6600 plus than the girls inside precede to tell me that we don't got go by the one outside we go by the that is inside as soon I call me out on ripping me the old bit ch inside tells me that I don't have to come here anymore she would only say this to me because Dell's metal knows that they are scamming good honest people out of money that they worked really hard for Dell's is pocketing all that extra money that they should be paying to the people and I busted them out on it so now they don't want me back there ok no problem I'll just go to Midwest recycling from now on I don't get scammed there... Now I see why Amy don't work there at Dell's metal anymore she probably got tired of Dell's scamming good honest hard working people just trying to get some extra money in there pockets for things such as dippers and wipes.. I wonder if the department of weights and measures of Illinois knows about Dell's metal and how they use the scale outside and inside to scam you.. Talk about highway robbery Dell's metal is now king of highway robbery.. to Dell's I say I can't wait for the day that you guys are shut down for good or tell the owners to go get help for either drugs or gambling problems why else would Dell's be scamming everybody that takes in scrap
Do not bring your catalytic converter to dels they told me mine was worth 10 bucks I said that's b******* and I told the guy I checked the internet and the type I had was worth 70 to $100 the guy in the small-scale still insisted 10 bucks I went to alter and they gave me $95. That was not the first time Rock Island f****** me I brought one few years back those f****** gave me three bucks so do not bring your catalytic converter 2 Dells. Also and alter they checked my serial number on my converter and turned out to be a premium small bread loaf and they gave me top dollar five stars to altar
