Went at 1:10pm, says it's open until 3:45pm but apparently they can't tell time there because everything was closed and locked up. Tried on a different day at 10:30am and again gates closed and locked no people and nothing saying whether they're closed or on lunch, just a website saying a closed building is open. Either they need to update their website or they need to teach their employees how to tell time.
Your reply only applies to today, the other instance was over a week and a half ago.
Putting something up in the building is only helpful to people that go there regularly so your reply is basically saying screw any new people who want to come in. Maybe try communicating with more than your regular customers to avoid future bad reviews, you have a website/Facebook for a reason
Quoted me $210 for scrap picked up , than tried paying me $100 per ton, eventually after arguing I got $170 per ton. Glad I took my drums somewhere else, or probably would of been screwed over in that as well…
I got super lucky finding this place! I travel all over the country for work. At the end of the job there's always a car load of scrap to drop off. This was the first yard I called and they had a very good price on scrap copper. I was the only customer and was invited to have a BBQ with the crew. Super friendly people! This is my spot when I'm in northern Indiana/ Chicago area! Thanks everyone at Merrillville Metal Recycling!!
We started our plumbing business in 2023, we tend to get alot of scrap. We googled scrap yards. We’ve been using MMR ever since. Jake the owner super friendly. Yard is very clean. It’s paved so no nasty mud on our trucks. Their cash is green and they pay fair. All in all we will continue to use MMR
Clean facility, efficient operations and competitive pricing. My husband frequents the facility and often takes along our kids and dogs. The staff is always accommodating.
Love this yard. J and the crew are super helpful, yard is clean, prices are fair to higher than other yards, and bring your dog to the yard, the crew are all dog lovers.
Excellent Company to do Business with! I actually made an earlier review that was for another Competitors yard in Griffith. So to this business I apologize. Very honest, and was helpful to me. Easy in, easy out, lady at pay window was great as well! Take your scrap here, they will take care of you!
The prices were OK, but I feel duped out of what I should have earned. I did not have much, and this was my first time at a scrap yard, but I was given an attitude by who I guess is the owner. I had several pounds of scrap brass that I meticulously sorted out, including doorknobs that I took the non-brass parts off of. They just labeled the whole thing as "doorknobs" and paid me like, 6 cents a pound for about 10 pounds of yellow brass.
As soon as I even got into the place, I was chastized for not sorting my copper wire between Bare Bright and #2, which I did not do because I did not mind getting #2 price for the whole thing.
I got Aluminum Transformer price (9 cents) for what was obviously just Bare EC Wire (60 cents).
The whole situation felt super rushed, almost as if I was seen as a burden for being there, instead of as a merchant selling my scrap metal. So I will try to find a different place for my scrap metal that doesn't see me as an annoyance.
After seeing the reviews that they help you unload and match prices, I found that to be not true. Not a single person offered to help me get a humongous wood stove off my trailer And then I found out they don't price match steel. 1st time here and author my last. I'll be sticking to Paul's where they're paying $20 more per ton And always have people to help me unload
Honest prices, good people. The owner came out and helped me unload a huge truck that I was struggling with by myself. I left My I.D. there as well and he contacted me to let me know right away. If you've got scrap, this is the place to go.
Do I need a dealers license or any kind of license to sell my Cat converters? Or just a state issued ID? Used to go to Edinburgh but now require a license. I only do this as a side job buying junk cars so never had any kinda licenses...
Very nice business atmosphere to deal in. Greatest prices in area, and fair. Always helpful.
Clean facility for all to conduct business.
BEST PRICES IN NORTHERN INDIANA
I have used them quite a few times now and I'm very impressed with the service and the quality of the facility! it's very clean and you're in and out quickly!
Thank you for a nice local facility!
Place was very clean, and I got paid A LOT higher $$ than anywhere else I've ever gone. But when I pulled into the lot I wasn't sure where to go, and some old Mexican guy. Who I'm guessing is the boss started screaming at me. Very rude, the way he treated meisn't how you do business.
I have an upcoming demolition in the area and I called them about pricing. Jake is a real gentleman to deal with. Not only did they offer the highest prices but they also helped when I needed containers on site. If I was you I wouldn't bring scrap anywhere else!
All I can say is absolutely great company to work with.very helpful met and exceeded expectations.all on short to no notice they made it happen got me my containers and very friendly and good people.thanks again
