This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
Based on recent reviews, CMC Recycling in Independence, KS earns a mixed-positive reputation: 68/100. Customers often praise friendly, helpful staff, quick service, and a clean, organized yard that’s easy on tires. Pricing is viewed as fair to strong by many, yet others report low pay on batteries, shred, and catalytic converters. Wait times vary—from in-and-out visits to complaints of slow service, short staffing, and trucks prioritized. Some note tight traffic flow and location info issues. Little insight on parts inventory or finding parts. Overall, solid service with notable consistency gaps.
Never had any trouble there I've seen them even help people sort their metals nice people just doing their jobs usually in and out all around great place
I took in well over 12 lbs of #1 bare bright copper to their non ferrous department. There was nobody at the scales. I waited for a bit and decided it was hot and I would wait in my truck. I no sooner than got back to my truck when I noticed their employee had came outside and weighed I guess my copper and dumped it in with theirs. He said it was 12 lbs. It was well over 30 lbs. But he also never asked for my ID so I asked him about that. He said his computer was down. But this was the same computer that his scale is hooked to. I asked he said they had my weight inside office. They printed out my reciept which said 12 lbs even. Which really blows my mind what would be the odds that I found an exact to the lb amount of copper to take in anyway so I said something about it being wrong and they said their scales are certified. I wasn't complaining about their scales being off I was complaining basically that their employee was not being honest about putting all my copper on the scales. They again told me about being certified scales. And I left knowing I got ripped off.
I was very pleased as a truck driver to go to the CMC I had a flat tire after I came out of there and had to wait two and a half hours for a tire repair during lunch a driver stopped and asked me if I needed to use his pickup to go get myself something for lunch that is a very good company this guy didn't know me from Adam good job CMC you never fail no matter which one I go to. And do the driver with the big white beard you are a very nice gentleman thank you for the pickup offer to meant a lot
Dont waist your time going there with catalytic converters. Set outside in 40 degree weather for 20 minutes to get offer 10$ for a honda converter. Got offered 350 in Tulsa same day. "Update" If you do have a converter I recommend fraileys recycling in Tulsa. Was there for 5 min got 350 outa my "10$ piece"
Great employees best scrap yard around they are the cleanest too I have been to others and have been worried bout drivin in and getting a flat tire but not at cmc they keep the yard clean their employees take pride in their work thank you guys
Can you guys fix your location info. Not a customer just someone thats been redirecting people that get stuck at the dilapidated looking house down the street linked to your company location. A quick google search sends people to 601n 20th.
Very disorganized. Took 45 minutes to get unloaded. Been to many scrap yards around the country and this is not the worst I've seen but it's not a good place to do business. I'll never come back. To bad, y'all missed out on a lot of future business with several hundred tons of steel.
