In Davenport, IA, Midwest Recyclers earns an overall 82/100—generally positive but with notable complaints: many reviewers praise the friendly staff and quick in/out, fair-to-strong scrap payouts, and helpful office team. Common knocks include inconsistent or low quotes, unclear classifications, scales not visible, and a few reports of truck damage with poor follow-up; traffic flow can feel disorganized, and the yard can be muddy/smelly. Inventory to buy exists, but details on variety or ease of finding parts are sparse. Wait times are often short.
It's a metal recycling place, not a trip to the mall, how do you expect it to be? They're noisy, dusty, with more false testosterone than...the staff is very helpful, small transaction was handled quite quickly. You are kind of expected to know what their system is before you get there, where parking is etc.
Which makes it very um interesting for a first timer such as myself. It was told to me at great length by a gentleman(who one can only assume is not connected to the company in any way)who had to walk an additional five feet, that is after climbing down his mountain tall truck. He was wearing the biggest belt buckle I have ever seen outside pro wrestling-we...
Need to get rid of some scrap metal, or that copper wire you had just lying around-this is the place to go. Call ahead find out what the routine is, parking is off to the right.
The weigh-in/weigh-out for steel was kinda handy. But…
Pretty disorganized flow of traffic; prices not posted or provided ahead of time and wouldn’t provide them or the classifications when I asked; wouldn’t separate the grades of steel; gave me #2 copper price for bare brite (at least I didn’t have much of it); don’t take 400 series stainless mufflers there.
And you can’t see the scale readings so you have to trust them not to make math errors I guess.
But at least they’re open on Saturdays.
I’ve been to Midwest a lot. I scrap out some lead, lots of brass shells & copper bullet jackets. Very friendly staff. Answered all my question. You can buy just about anything you want there to. Great place
Quick and easy to deal with got right in with my metal and right out with my money and the ladies in the office were very nice, friendly and easy to work.
Thank you for returning my drivers license back to me. It’s been almost a year and with all this covid stuff and everything it’s a big pain to get a new one. And also want thank you for my last visit the ladies in the office was very professional. And the gentlemen that helped me outside was very helpful. Thank you very much hope to be back soon!
This is the second time two years that I have called this particular scrap yard and they offered me a price on scrap that is way below what it should be. For instance scrap vehicles are going for 250 a gross ton and Lady tells me 120??? Call me crazy but that is one hell of a difference and I will not attempt business here again. Just my opinion and if you decide that you're okay getting paid 50% of the value why don't you bring it to me for 75% of the value and I'll cash in.
I would give more stars but I ran out at 5 stars. They are the best place that will give you the most for your scrap. Ever since I been taking my scrap there I have not once been disrespected I was treated with the utmost respect from all of their employees from the yard to the metal room to the office all respectful and honest.
Best scrap yard in the area. Best prices and the people that work there are very nice and willing to help you. Great service. I definitely recommend taking your scrap here. I'll definitely be hauling my stuff there in the future
bad business they lied about price..! and they have a transporter give out different prices that they never told me about..! definitely no more business with this place the owner or manager was rude …!
This is a great place all around! They are super friendly and never fail to help you out when you need it! Their prices are always goo and they always stay true to them!
Best place I have found in the area to recycle your your old scrap. The people in receiving are very nice. It is set up very efficiently to get you in and out quickly. Good people fair prices.r 30
