Recent reviews of PADNOS Elkhart Recycling Center in Elkhart, IN trend positive: customers praise fair pricing, helpful staff, a cleaner, better‑organized yard under new ownership, and quick, easy in/out. Still, feedback is mixed at times—isolated reports claim underpayment later corrected, being turned away near midday, and property/etiquette issues, suggesting inconsistent service. Little is said about parts availability or inventory. Overall: solid value and efficiency with room to tighten policies and communication. Score: 82/100.
What clients say about PADNOS Elkhart Recycling Center in Elkhart (IN)
I miss sam wieners but had a good experience on my first trip with new owners. The place is not as cluttered and roomy compared to the old place. I got paid better than I thought however the general consensus is they don't pay as good as any other scrap place in the area.
You guys have really cleaned up the place from when it what used to be Sam's you pay a good prices and everybody's super friendly and I appreciate it and I appreciate the free t-shirt
I had the best experience with the fine folks at Padnos. I was surprised at how much my old junk was worth. They were extremely nice and very good pricing. I almost want to get more stuff just to go again, lol. Very cool people.
Not such of great place is far is paywise the place is clean and organize but if you want the most of you money from your materials this definitely not the place i will check somewhere else beware don't give away you scrap materials
There thief’s don’t come here my mom came here and they gave us 60 dollars and we realized something was wrong and came back and had to argue with them for them to give us the rest of the money and the lady tryed saying bs they ended up giving us the rest of the money which was 90 more dollars , they have bad attitude terrible don’t take ur scrap here
It was a pleasure to work with Karen. She gave us a great price for the metal we brought in and made the whole process easy and straightforward. Highly recommend!
I've always had pleasant visits here. No complaints. Clean area well managed and taken care of. Definitely feel appreciation from within the staff. Never an issue here they are always ready and willing to help with a positive attitude here.
Poorly managed employees. Will drive on your company property with their heavy loads and destroy your asphalt without asking permission, will move your property without permission, and they have no problem trespassing.
