What clients say about WB Scrap Metal in Chalmette (LA)

• Joshua Ownby

  I love these people. I have been coming here since Merlin waved me over on Airline. I thought something was falling out. Well I pulled over and he ran up and told me to come to WB because they would give me more. They did! A lot more! I've been going there ever since. 10+ years! Thank you for being honest!

  I called Nick and told him about my son's back yard full of old kitchen equipment and an old vehicle. It took two vehicles but Nick and his partner worked so diligently to pick up everything and help my son move things around. Even though I couldn't get money for the scrap metal the fact that they came and did all of this work at no charge where it would have cost quite a bit for someone else to come take care of this. Thank you you were God sent. Very nice, very professional and very kind

  It's no use. I had too much metal and they bought it cheap. They made me unload the trailer and paid me a pittance. They made me wait too long.

  I had a complicated load yesterday and everything was heavy all forklift so instead of just driving across the scale these guys offloaded everything and weighed it piece by piece to make sure I got all my money….i owe These gentleman a beer because they go above and beyond for me without hesitation

  This is an OK yard but I gave it 2 stars because according to their scale I came in with almost a ton of Scrap Metal Steel and they labeled it as Iron Prepared. I told them it was steel and I ask them why did they grade it as such and they said that's just how they grade it. That's not good business

  I’d like to express my gratitude to WBSCRAP for their prompt service in selling my wire, copper, and other materials, ensuring I received my payment quickly. However, there was a hiccup when my ID was misplaced, which, being from California, posed a significant inconvenience. Nevertheless, I must commend the owner, Nick, for handling the situation with utmost professionalism. He resolved the issue efficiently and without unnecessary fuss, demonstrating his commitment to excellent service. Despite this minor setback, I wholeheartedly recommend WBSCRAP and plan to continue doing business with them in the future.

  Got to this place and set for 2 hrs before even getting to start loading. 14 hr clock caught my drive time causing me not to be able to get back to go home. I will refuse this load and NEVER come back to this place again!

  Watch out for this place if you go on their website it gives you a price for say scrap copper $2.08 a pound when you get here they want to only give you a dollar 30 a pound so they're beating us out of your money so I would go somewhere else EMR plays better money than they do

  These people are the most honest scrap buyers in the metro area. I drive from the heart of new orleans all the way to them because the weights are perfect, the prices are more than fair, and the owners are always on site. Truly a yard apart from the rest.

  Absolutely disgusting, 2nd and final time this will happen to me because of wb scrap owners and employee s can't tell time. I think it's pathetic when a business can't keep the hours they have listed, I'm on disability and struggling every day, day to day and now my son, wife, & I gotta sit in this hot truck out of gas and money cause I drove from Slidell to Chalmette to sell my scrap I've been saving only to find out WB scrap has closed early AGAIN. Thanks wb scrap but it won't happen to me again, at least not there
