What clients say about Watson Recycling in Oronoco (MN)
Watson recycling was top notch!
Had a broke down truck that I needed out of my driveway. Watson sent out a tow truck to remove it to be recycled.
The driver James was very skilled and professional.
Getting the truck loaded was no easy task!
Great service from James and the main office.
Watson's offers a service where they will come pick up your dead car and tow it to the recycling center at no cost. They then give you a fair price to recycle the vehicle. They made it so easy! Also, the guy at the front desk is pretty awesome. We'll definitely use them again in the future. If you're going to total your vehicle, it's nice to at least have a great way to get scrap cost for it with little inconvenience!
If only I could give zero stars I would these guys are completely rude very disrespectful and to top it off they low balled me on my bare bright copper I’ll never come here again L&D recycling in west concord is 100 times better great customer service and prices very fair and polite!!
It's the only junkyard I will goto have for years even when they had there small shop or by the rec center in rochester before they got big and moved out by oronnoco and I still go there wouldn't go nowhere else to take scrap to besides these guys because they treat you fair and they pay top dollar for your scrap.
Brandon was amazing at coordinating a roll-off dumpster drop off. He made everything easy and we were able to get the dumpster in a timely fashion! Carl (the delivery person) was professional and helpful as well!
The guy who works at the desk inside is awesome he is so friendly and always talks to us when we are there. I would give 5 stars but the gentleman who works in the scale outside is very rude and we come there a lot and still get treated like first timers and he never smiles and is so disrespectful. He has to learn how to communicate better and in a more friendly manner.
The same family run company that is always friendly and professional. They are by far SE MN top recycler and it’s not even close. They have grown but haven’t lost any of the small family run feeling . A+
Competitive prices.These guys are friendly, helpful, and have amazing customer service. They will do the right thing even at their own expense. I will never go anywhere else with my aluminum cans and scrap metal. Sorry guys...Google will only let me leave you 5 stars but you deserve more for what you did dor my dad today!!
Every time it rains heavy, the drinking water at Oronoco Estates turns brownish. I assume it's from the rust being rinsed off of the junk there and seeping into the water table. I can't belive that this is good for anyone at the mobile home court. Of course Olmsted County approved this.
You need 300 pounds of steel in order to be paid for it. But don't know what you have until after you weigh your vehicle then unload the steel then weigh the vehicle again. If you don't have 300 lbs you dont get paid. So make sure you have enough weight. On another note my kids were excited to get a $2 bill from there. They thought that was really cool!
I have been taking my scrap to Watsons for over 20 years. Always fair, always professional, always open when they say they'll be open, never been told to call back tomorrow. If you're struggling to get the minimum weight you are probably wasting your time and theirs. Get yourself a scrapper, who will pick the stuff up for free and haul if away.
Usually I get good service. But came with a trailer of scrap metal and was refused a weigh in. Attendant said he did think it met the 300# minimum, but I could dump it for free if I wanted. I said weigh me and if it's less than 300# you can have for free. He AGAIN refused to help me, saying he wasn't making any money with me. Poor customer service on this occation.
For the cost of a short drive out of town you get better service and attitude than in Rochester. These guys don't mess around with skimping the poundage or not being open. Highly recommended!
