This is a great place to recycle your old metal. Seems like a family run business. Good folks to do business with. The way it works is when you get there you go in to the office and have someone come out to see what you have. Then you drive on to the scale and wait for the bell. Then drive to the area you are told to unload. Then drive back on the scale and wait for the bell again. Go back inside and get paid for the metal.
M.J.S Metals, just a great place to scrap or purchase some old iron. Pleasure to deal with a nice group of people. I also love the smell of iron in the summer so im sure to be back quite a few times this summer. Also a very clean and organized yard.
Never been there before. Was alittle bit of chaos when I arrived cause like I said I've never been there before and it was super busy. But fortunately they pointed me in the rite direction the whole step of the way. I got way more then I expected out of the scrap I had. The guys were so friendly I even stood there after getting paid and chatted with a few of them for maybe 10 min. Will def be going back there! Highly recommend!!!
Had a long standing relationship with this place. One of the workers there ruined that by having attitude out of nowhere and then having the gall to come confront me about the review I left. Real classy.
This is a by weight bulk scrap yard. The staff is helpful. The scale is accurate. They accept all different metals by weight and pay according to prices set by demand in the market. This is not an automotive part scrap yard.
In contrast to my treatment at some other scrap metal yards I've always been treated respectfully at MJS Metals. I'm an amateur blacksmith and in constant need of more steel. As a consequence I've visited multiple times. I've always been welcomed back as I think I practice good scrap metal yard etiquette: I wear long pants, sturdy leather gloves, and boots. I stay well away from any activities like truck loading or unloading, and wait for a lull in operations to have any purchases weighed. I don't go near any precarious piles and never attempt to climb them for something I'd like.
If you see something heavy you would like to buy they will load it for you with their equipment, just don't expect them to stop loading or unloading a truck, wait your turn.
Even though I work at a hardware store and can order in a good variety of steel at a very good discount, the price is still multiple times less at MJS. But remember steel is a commodity; it's price will fluctuate with the market. The price you pay today will vary with the market price for metals. Yes they sell it for more than they buy if for, it's a business. Just one of their pieces of equipment is worth more than my house and land, they need to make a profit; it's not a giant yard sale.
Walk in sales are a small fraction of their business and I'm grateful for the privilege of being able to walk the yard, which is not allowed in many places. So if you go: dress appropriately, stay out of the way, wait your turn. Don't ask them to "save" something. It's a busy place. If you don't buy it today someone else will, or or will be put on a outgoing load.
Also, realize that some of what comes into the yard is reserved for maintenance of their equipment, of just because it's cool and one of the employees wants it. So, ask where you can and can't go. Have fun, save some money, and don't do anything stupid that will get us all locked out.
This place tried ripping me off today . They offerd me 30 bucks for two catalytic converters , two battery's and some rims. I took it back . Whent somewhere elts I got over 100 dollars. Don't go to this scrap yard. I hope the guy reads this. U suck man
