What clients say about World Metal Buyers in Fenton (MO)
I've been scrapping for over 30 years my dad was a scrapper and his dad was a scrapper and this place is by far the worst I've ever been to even the scrap yards in North St Louis pay a lot more than this place I went in there with 50 lb of bare bright and 25 lb of burnt wire 5 lb of brass 20 lb of aluminum cans and 15 lb of stainless steel this place doesn't even give you a ticket and all I got for all that was $124 and I can't even contest it because they don't give you a ticket they're in the Stone age they don't even have a computer do does your your figures with a calculator and he still can't get it right twice they have underpaid me there and was like oh my bad accident and if you bring steel in there they will guess the wait no lie guess it yeah the people there were nice but who cares I need my weight right and my money you work hard all day just to get ripped off by a scale man who is underpaying you and putting the other in his pocket because there's no record of it since they don't have a computer or give a ticket I avoid this place at all cost if I was you
Scammy beyond belief will never be back I'll throw scrap in the trash they tell you what you're stuff weighed after they dump it in theirs 50lbs of brass and 10lbs of copper and 10lbs aluminum I received $92 p.s. $2 bills are not worth more than $2 dollars.
Never go here. Total rip off. I've sold metal at nearly all the yards within 300 miles of STL, this one is by far the worst. The employees were okay, but the way the yard is ran is terrible. No space at all. Easy to tell they don't do much business, I have more metal collected in the yard at my house, than what was in their whole place. And, their prices were only around half of what most other places around pay. I only went here cause it was the middle of the work day, and I needed to get back to the job quick. Definitely won't go back.
Very fair always takes care of me. I love it when I bring it back clean scrap so they don't have to worry about it. And I get good fair prices for clean scrap always worth it
I would recommend to go anywhere but here. They don’t give you a receipt showing the weights of anything, their scale is off horribly bad or they are just outright ripping you off. I know for a fact I had at bare minimum of 200 in copper and I received a fraction of that, by time you notice what’s going on your stuff is gone and dumped already. Its nice getting cash same day but not worth how much they are ripping you off.
Not gonna lie the worst place I could of came to I had 15 pounds of electric copper motors and he offered me 10 bucks and everything still worked while whispering to his fellow crew mates the owner was asked if he should
Just buy them since they work and he goes I’m gonna do something well clearly he planned on being scandalous and got one over on me
scale needs to be calibrated, ik i had at least 100 lbs of copper n he said 55, and i never seen the scale reading.. we’re suppose to trust a strangers word. never again!
These people are the biggest scammers. They paid $1.10 lb for brass when all other scrappers are paying 2.00 lb. My own fault in thinking people are honest. Do yourself a favor and drive to Vince Jacks!
Great people there, always nice and helpful. It's scarp yard folks, they are not suppose to be clean. In fact it's all most impossible, that was for any one that makes a dumb remark about cleanliness. They do keep it clean as possible.
It is a scrap metal place, first of all, do don't expect cleanliness lol. Beyond that it does seem organized. The staff is friendly, cordial, helpful as far as getting the stuff from your vehicle to weigh. They pay you on the spot. Pay seems fair compared to competitors. I've done biz with them twice, will likely do more. They are convenient right on highway 30.
Just had some old cat converters and junk from the tool shed to get rid of. I was treated very professionally and got a better price than expected. Not a frequent scrapper but for future needs I will go here.
Competitive prices payed for
your scrap metal.
$$$ Paid in cash $$$
Have your metal types separated before you arrive to save time and so not to take up a parking spot while separating. Staff will help you bring your metals from your vehicle to the indoor scale if there is someone available.
The only place I'll go. I'm not a professional scraper and I never know what I'm doing. They always help me and separate everything correctly to get the most money. Extremely pleased with the staff and service!!
Took in four high end catalytic converters and got offered less for all four of them than ONE of them will get me at Metro Metal. This place is a pathetic excuse for a scrap yard. Dishonest. Unprofessional. Misleading. Fraudulent. If you're looking to get robbed, then this is the place that will smile in your face while robbing you blind.
I have turned in scrap here in the past. Good pay for aluminium cans but dryers or lawnmowers get a flat rate, not by weight. Nice group working here though.
This place is very shady. We used to bring in aluminum cans. They do not have any rates posted, they pay you what they want to pay you. It’s always less than when we would weigh our cans and get the aluminum rate for that day. A guy behind the counter with a large handgun barely speaks to you, they won’t tell you what the weight of your cans are, he writes his info in a notebook and hands you some cash, every time I can’t believe how little he gives us. We take our cans to a different recycler that is more reputable now.
The first time that a cashier had to lay a gun on the counter as well as have a 6" knife in their pocket to process the transaction.
Dropped off more than 20 water reservoir through the years told today that not allowed to drop. Drove out only to see several in the current pile.
In addition, the addition of the ticket was off as well..... Weigh before you go.......
Not only did I get more for my scrap than any other place around, everyone, especially the scale guy was so helpful. I had different types of metal, which I knew, but I was wrong on one of the types of metal and they did not hesitate to help educate me. I was thinking I had about $80 in scrap but because of thier knowledge and honesty, I walked away with $135. I will never go to another place to recycle my scrape. World Metal Buyers=WINNER!!
These guys are good at what they do, I like the way they break down your load of metal and pay for the different types, you actually make more money doing it the way they do it
One star is more than they deserve.
Don't go there. Dishonest. They don't do what they say they'll do.
Wasted most of an hour of my time. I showed up with a load of aluminum and steel (after calling TWICE) to confirm they would be open. They just decided to close early. Then were rude jerks.
Go to Scrap Mart instead (just a few miles north) where they are honest, modern, efficient, and helpful.
Friendly, honest staff. They even unload for you. Handful of workers around, so if you have a question, they'll help. Quick service too. Down fall would be that one cannot see the numbers on the scale.
Good service, top prices, I can overlook a dusty parking lot and smoking workers for the best price on aluminum cans. They were polite and promptly paid me for the cans.
Just took a large load of painted aluminum to this company and they paid well and customer service was top notch. We were in and out quickly. Thanks for a great experience.
good bunch of dudes. pay good on catalytic converters. i bring them all my catalytic converters and my aluminum cast, mostly aluminum wheels but have sold a few aluminum engine blocks and heads
