What clients say about Rockville Metals in Rockville (MD)
It was my first time. You have to wait in line for a few minutes to get to the scales. They were very helpful in directing me and Gregory explained the process and helped me out much appreciated. They also have free soda and popcorn and if you go on Saturday they have a nice lady making free food.
Dishonest and disappointing experience. Prices advertised online don’t match what you actually get paid, and they play games with weight and classification—especially with catalytic converters, which they weigh as scrap instead of valuing properly for the precious metals inside. The scale process feels questionable, and safety in the yard is poor with forklifts rushing around and glass on the ground. While they try to cover it up with free popcorn, drinks, and quick ATM payouts, the reality is shady pricing and unfair practices. If you want honest business and fair value for your metal, take it somewhere else.
First time there and the workers there were helpful and informative in directing me where to go. Prepare to wait in line a bit to hit the scale (multiple times), but overall pleasant experience with popcorn and drinks at the end of it.
Went to Rockville Metals For the first time. There was some leftover scrap metal stuff in a storage locker I rented. Thought I would bring it over and see if it was worth anything. I got a whopping $15 but the problem was that I went at a time of day when it was a very busy time and there was a long long line to get in... and it probably was not worth the wait. I'm guessing if I go there when it's not the end of a work day for people I would probably fare better, maybe in the morning. Nothing bad to say about Rockville Metals though. And after I got my cash, there were free soda machines and popcorn, so how can you really complain?😀
Very nice place if your looking to make a little extra cash from your unwanted metals and electric items they pay cash, quick and easy in an out no problem.....I'm revising my post due to some bad experiences I've had there over the last couple months. This place is gender and ethnic challenged. A word to the establishment please be respectful to all regardless of gender or color.
Take it from me do not come to this place you’ll end up getting scam i came with a load of metal fill the truck way past and got 82 out of it better of going somewhere else Please dont come here
Helpful Staff, Clean&Organized, Competitive Rates and Ease of Payment via ATM style machine reciept reader.
I highly recommend using them over any other local companies.
Called for pricing Friday and spoke with the owner to confirm price. Took 3,000 lbs of copper finn/copper coils saturday. After unloading all coils, worker gave us the price of 1.30. We loaded the coils back up and took them to a different location. Which paid 2.89.
*Get pricing before you unload*
I’ve been scraping for 8 years this is buy far the best scrap yard I been to best prices for metal and they give you free coffee and soda I recommend everyone come here and the owner is a very reasonable person
This business pay the lowest price don’t meet the average price of the market. Too bad . For Next time I rather to wait for a regular business day and drive up to Frederick they pay the top price
I can share my review happily. It is an absolutely terribly ran establishment. All of maybe three employees can communicate. They don’t know English or act like it.(No, it’s not racist) it’s a fact. I have caught an employee trying to cheat me twice. Yes, I said something and nothing was done. Don’t expect any what of a smooth visit. I have been one of three people there. In the mid week early morning. I waited on the scale for easily 30 minutes. They are slow and lazy during then. I will say the smaller, short dark hair Hispanic manager. He’s a great dude, honest, shows sincerity and has a good sense of humor.
Will definitely be back again! Went on a Friday was very busy but the line moved super fast.. everyone has a friendly and helpful customer service! Love how they have complimentary sodas, wasted and snacks!
Rockville Metals has the best costumer service ever and they pay great rates for the metals I bring in! They have the sweetest and most courteous lady offering snacks and coffee to everyone walking in
What a disaster. First time there will be my last. The place is too small and a huge mess. They do a terrible job of cleaning the driving surface and there is no space for anyone to get around. I don't recommend this place.
My first experience at a scrap metal place. The nicest people ever. Friendly and helpful. Plus the complimentary soda, coffee and popcorn was a nice touch.
Great prices and great services. Love the popcorn and drinks.
However, take a look at what they list in the receipt, they can rip you off quickly.
I took copper #1 copper #2 and brass and they only gave me copper #1 and the rest of the weight of #2 was added as brass. I asked to revise it as I weight me metals prior going there. Got a few extra buck for the copper that was not added as copper.
KEEP EYES OPEN.
Quick and easy. I made $6 selling old car parts that I would have otherwise recycled. It was ver easy, you drive to the back they weigh your items and give you a receipt. You take the receipt to front desk, there’s an atm kind of contraption, you put your ticket number and out comes the cash.
I came to Rockville metals to recycle a box of lead scraps. There was barely a wait. The man working in the front was very friendly and helpful. I got $12 for the lead, which for me was fine, as I was mostly interested in making sure it was recycled and not leching into the environment. They even offered drinks and popcorn!
I went today around 12:30 pm expecting it to be busy but it wasn't. The ground is is somewhat clean and what I mean by that is some yards you go to you end up with chunks of your tires missing or even worse a flat tire. Getting payment was easy you go in they weigh you,you dump your scrap,reweigh and than they give you a receipt. Take the receipt to the office atm. Insert the 4 digit code and out comes your cash.
Plus they offer you water or coffee and they also have popcorn. I got coffee but no popcorn.
Anyway the best scrap yard I've been to in awhile plus their payout are fair.
Good for professionals bad for amateurs.
So I have driven past this place many times and my parents had scrap on their property they wanted to get rid of. I loaded the truck and headed to Rockville Metals, later would find out it was over eighty-five pounds of scrap.
As I was pulling in a guy with a vest pointed me to drive towards a semi-truck with trailer that was backing out with spotters. Luckily a spotted chose to alert the driver before smashing my vehicle. I was directed by another worker to a spot. He looked at what I had and someone driving a forklift haphazardly dropped a gigantic spill bin behind the truck.
I loaded up the bin and waited for atleast twenty-five minutes as there was a wait of people. The entire time forklift drivers are barreling though the narrow back area seemingly without concern for safety.
My scrap was weighed, given a ticket with a code to get my cash from an ATM. I got seven measly dollars and it took almost an hour.
I feel as this place works well for professionals but private individuals it's a risk of health, along as a waste of time and money.
