GLE Scrap Metal - Detroit in Melvindale, MI scores 85/100. Reviews skew highly positive: courteous yard and window teams, fast service, organized flow, and help locating what customers need. Many praise fair or top payouts, good copper pricing, and a convenient location. Still, a notable minority report rude office interactions and pricing/classification disputes (wire graded lower, appliances paid less than expected). Overall sentiment: strong for speed and professionalism, but compare quotes and categories at the scale.
My first time and the last one the lady in the office so rude she shouted us if you are in the bussines you have to be with a good attitude<br>We don’t need a special service just respect ! The guys in machines are so nice without them we can’t do anything
I brought in wire today and recently, they didnt even look at it properly. Just marked computer wire. Ripped off. This was good house wire. Last year was different.<br><br>They tell me everything Is shred, pretty sure been getting scammed on some of that too.<br><br>Also on cast items. Stainless Steel Tables in the Past. THey claim are "dirty" when other yards didn't on Same stuff. I get more for brass and others at a close by yard. Going here for as long as I did was definitely a mistake.<br><br>I've edited the post, it says "today" but original post was 5 months ago
Helpful staff is the only reason for the 2 stars otherwise I would give as low as possible. Called and was quoted a really good price on insulated wire (lamp cords, vacuum cords, extension cords, appliance wire harnesses) got there and they tell me what I have is PC wire and they'll pay 1/3 of what I was quoted.<br>The yards in the metro detroit area have become the biggest metal thieves out there. Needless to say, my 204lbs of wire is back home with me and growing.<br>If I'm gonna give it away, I'll put it back on the curb
I wanted to put a minus stars. What a rip off I had a huge lg refrigerator that was super heavy , and a double oven stove and few small items and I only got 60.00 dollars that refrigerator should have been 60 alone never will I recycle again I’ m better off selling as is on marketplace !! They said 8cents per pound what a joke!! Keep your trash in melvindale !
Ms. Erica is always very polite and professional. The whole staff is as a matter of fact. They get in and out fast! Always have had a good experience when I come to their establishment!!<br><br>Respectfully,<br>NeK, Troy’s Towing Inc.
Great service and location. Everyone was very helpful and a pleasure to interact with. I would highly recommend this company and location to anyone in the future. By far the best yard in all of Metro Detroit!
Everyone was so nice at this location! I saw Arica training a new girl, and they are both doing a wonderful job. I highly recommend going there for the friendly faces!
I went to the one in Melvindale & they have such amazing customer service. Especially their worker Stevie , an absolute gem & helped me find what I was looking for ! Will be returning again in the future
Not the best prices but a decent place, fyi do not bring cats here, offered me 40$ for two, went into detroit and got 280$ for them. Calling and asking for current rates really can pay off!
This was my first time selling scrap. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions. They even had a great big cooler full of free ice water for the customers, which was awesome on a super hot day!
