This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
Based on recent feedback, AIM Recycling Arundel in Arundel Township, ME earns 79/100. Sentiment is mixed but leans positive: many praise friendly, helpful staff (often naming team members), tidy grounds with few tire hazards, accurate weights, quick processing, and Saturday hours. Pricing is the hot spot—some cite fair/competitive rates, while a vocal group claims payouts far below market and occasional scale issues, making it a case of polarizing prices. Service quality can vary—mostly courteous, yet some report rude interactions. Yard organization is solid; parts/inventory info is unclear here.
Great service and fair prices. Everyone is always friendly and helpful, from the guys in the yard to the scale clerk welcoming you in. Super convenient location. I will definitely keep being a repeat customer.
The guys at this place are super helpful and nice. However that lady working on the scale is one of the rudest people I've ever met every single time I come here she has the worst attitude. Slams the window in my face. Ill be taking my business elsewhere from now on.
Treat them good they will treat you good. Guys are always good to me. Have your stuff ready and sorted They May not be a top dollar scrap yard but they are fair.. usually within a few cents of everybody else
Go elsewhere. They gave me bogus price per lb on the phone. I travel there only to realize I was about to get screwed. They pay about half of market price, maybe a bit more. Go to Portland, don't get screwed.
Eric was awesome great guy very knowledgable and helpful it was my first time using AIM and because of Eric i will be going back awesome place with great people Thanks!
Our recent trip to AIM was great from start to finish. Christina was very friendly. Drew and Eric were very helpful and knowledgeable. Prices could be a little better but we will be back. It's great doing business with people who make you feel like they appreciate doing business with you!
Always a pleasure doing business with the crew at AIM salvage in Arundal. Always friendly and appreciative for my visit. Thanks Drew,Eric, and Christina!
I've been going to AIM for 6 years now. I went to another place in Portland and got a flat tire twice. They wouldn't do anything to help me. I've never gotten a flat at AIM. Helpful employees here make there extra 15 minutes worth the trip!!
Been years since I've done any junking.
Took in some copper ..was thinking around $100 worth. The yard was a goast town ? I remember waiting in line for an hr before... I soon seen why $2.25 lb for copper!
I got 69... dollars.
Prices flex I know.
It is what it is.
I love the team at AIM. Simply said, they are super friendly, knowledgeable and fair. For example I challenged the weight one time of my vehicle after dumping aluminum because the weight didn't make sense. The women running the scale politely listened and responded positively to my reasoning and I was fairly compensated for the scrap. I use them and only them. Additionally, all the employees seem like they're always happy and they're all very polite.
What a fantastic place to do business with. Paul M treated us like gold and even gave us a bunch of extra on top! Will definitely be using these guys from here on out!
could not be happier Paul and Eric,do a wonderful job,they are extremely customer oriented I visit twice a month have always been given the best of service Very polite and accommodating ....Norman LaJeunesse..Arundel....
I have always been treated like a professional,when doing business here . I'm a full time recycler and own my own business for 22yrs ,aim and crew been verry good to me,better than any other recycling facilitiy I've been to for the last 2 yrs,and I'll keep on doing business here
Guys in precious metal garage are extremely rude. This one guy that seemed to be in charge of scale talked down to not only me and my helper but the people in front of us as well. He treated us like we have absolutely no clue what materials we brought in. I'm a contractor tht has been recycling for 19 years. The women on the scale was very friendly ND seemed happy to be there. Prices are fair. Place is no kept clean. If it wasn't for the guy in precious metals garage I would have giving a 5 star. . That's how horrible this man was to work with.
