I have taken a friend and the don't help are you what to do and he had my car load down and he got 10 when I go to Belle Chasse with the same and got a lot more out of them
I drive into EMR Westwego at 340pm to recycle scrap metal but it seems like everyone is so busy and no one stop help guide me thru it's my first and last time in EMR Westwego scrap yard!!!!!
Simple enough process, but the $9.91 I got for an entire trunk full of usable hinges, knobs, and screws was not worth the hour of my life driving to and from Westwego. Honestly, it’s not even about the $$$ (if NOLA actually recycled, I would’ve just done that);however, if I had known it would have taken this long for this little $$$, I would have just left it all on my curb and enjoyed my morning.
Not for everyone but it worked for us. Be ready to get your hands dirty! Save those aluminum cans. After a year's worth of collecting, we earned $32 dollars.
My go to for recycling. They offer fair prices and make the process easy. If you are going to make this place your regular recycling center make sure you get the bar code scanner so you do not have to fill out paper work every time. They scan your card and pull up your info in the computer and make for an even faster weigh in.
First time going here, was tired of the rudeness at airline..Friend of mine told me about this place , friendly staff, easy unload.
The two staff I talked to were very helpful, ie. Lady behind the counter, and the young man from Jamaica. Will be returning for sure!
Made it there dropped my empty trailer hooked to my loaded one redid the tarp and left. If they going to tarp the loads they need to do a little better
TL;DR If you have scrap metal to sell but no clue how, I highly recommend you go to EMR
To the uninitiated, scrap yards and selling your excess scrap metal can be intimidating. I myself am no expert, but this EMR location was my far my most positive scrap yard experience to date. It didn't matter that I was pulling up in with under a hundred pounds of incorrectly sorted metals in my trunk and everyone else was there with overflowing trailers, I was welcomed and treated with respect and patience by everyone from the office staff to the weighing crew. The weighing crew were not condescending at all about correcting my feeble attempt at pre-sorting and took the time to educate me on ways to cut up pieces of copper 2 to maximize my copper 1 quantities and how to file test aluminum to make sure it's not brass. Pathetically basic stuff, but like I said, they were very kind about my the whole process. Now all this customer service is fine and good, but the real question is how fair were the weights? Well, I did weigh my haul before I arrived and I was extra thrilled when the weights matched up on the final count. The next time I have a few bins of random scrap, this will be my go to scrap yard.
