Reno Salvage JunkYard in Reno (NV)

Went to turn in some #2 scrap insulated copper wire. The guy that looked at it told me they would only pay me $0.30 a pound. Seemed very low to me so I went somewhere else and got over $1.50 a pound. Not sure how they come up with their prices but seems like they were trying to screw me over. Won’t go back there again!!

I own a Junk Removal Company called Junk Magicians and we make at least 2 trips a week to Reno Salvage. Every time we roll through its always a good time. Yard staff is hilarious and very friendly and the office gal's are the best! Very streamline weigh in weigh out process with plenty of room to maneuver our trucks and trailers. Will not use any other scrap yards in Reno. Reno Salvage is the best!

One of the great things about Reno salvage is how when you order steel the wait time for your material is only minutes and it’s brought to you in sizes/lengths you can transport unlike the competitors who only sell 20 foot lengths, won’t load that long material onto a pickup rack and won’t let you have material you paid for after 3:00. All thanks to they’re friendly staff.

I have dealt with Reno Salvage for more then 40 years. No matter who is behind the counter; I have Always been treated Respectful and in a Business like manner. Reno Salvage has always been convenient & overall fair with Recycling, New & Used Metal Supplies and in preparation of cut to size materials. NinaSki Ski's Welding Truckee, CA

I went to the new metals division to get some aluminum angle for a solar panel project. The price was much less than big box home improvement stores, and the material was good quality 6061 t6 aluminum. They cut my material to length and I was back on the road in about fifteen minutes. The folks working there made me feel welcome, which is not all that common these days.

I always had a great experience with them over the years. They are pretty handy if you’re on that end of town but definitely got some attitude from the personnel and they were not always wearing masks and more expensive than PDM. So 1-2 stars. Still purchased from them this time to save time. Would not go out of my way though as a contractor to go here.

I've been here quite a few times now. This place is probably the best scrap yard in town, but it depends what day you go in otherwise it's the same as the others. If you get any of the younger guys at the scale you'll have a very pleasant experience, as they genuinely want to get you the best prices and will thus help you sort your metals out and take their time to help you out. If you get any of the older guys at the scale, I highly recommend you come back another day. They don't care about their customers at all and will purposely downgrade your scrap (they recently graded my cast aluminum as sheet aluminum even though I sorted it myself very well, as well as another few occurrences longer ago, which is why I'm now making this review and recommendation). The administrative staff in the office are all fantastic. Overall, only come here on the days the younger guys are in, otherwise hold off.

I'm the owner/operator of ABL CHIMNEY SWEEP and I have been taking my scrap metal to Reno Salvage for YEARS!!! The hard working guys in the yard always right there to help with a fantastic attitude and the lovely ladies in the office are speedy and thorough and fun to talk to. I have to visit the yard quite often and they always make my visits enjoyable. Thank you!

I come here weekly and the guys always help me out and get me taken care of quickly. Everyone here is very nice and always smiling when I go in. Sort your metal!!! Helps these guys out and you get a lil more. Love these guys I’ll keep coming as long as that gates open!

The experience was normal and professional. The question of logic regarding the recycling of aluminum is another proposition. The $9.25 I received represents maybe 15% of the value of newly manufactured aluminum bars I would pay at the retail level. Recycling does not pay. Further these materials are now shipped to China and India. Then as new aluminum material the US buys it back.

Best scrap yard I've found in Reno. Friendly knowledge staff that is willing to help get you the best price for your hard work. The lot is a little small but they did a great job moving everyone around. Highly satisfied, thank you!

Manny has been around awhile now and has grown into somewhat of a family friend as i have been coming four over 3 years. He is always positive and is always personable. One of the greats that work for this company. Hope to see you soon

Reno Salvage has been around as long as I can remember for a business to stay around that long says everything about them. They treat their customers right with fair market prices, customer service is beyond reproach. Melissa is very customer orientated. I’ll do business with Reno Salvage before I do business with any other scrapyard in the Reno/Sparks area. THANK YOU RENO SALVAGE

Super cool employees and fast service

Wow, we drove from Dayton thinking we were going to get some money from a fifth wheel trailer hitch that weighs over 100 lbs and 12 wire mesh for concrete. We walked away with $2.55! We wasted gas, time and money on our recycle! Not worth it! They do not pay! Call ahead to find out how much they will give you before you waste your time and money!

Great Service, fast and friendly too! Dropped off an old pickup truck tailgate, after they weight it, they even paid me 2 Bucks! Woo Hoo!' Much Thanks! Michael Cold Springs,NV

I couldnt believe how friendly these guys were compared to other scrap yards in town. The yard was organized and clean. Everyone was very patient and helpful, I will always be going here for metal to recycle and to buy.

Family owned local business! Great people and very knowable. The only choice as far as I’m concerned.

Got a custom piece of metal made in less than an hour at a reasonable rate. I'll definitely go back there again! I highly recommend anyone looking for a metal to see these guys!

Always great working with this company. Richard and the guys are always professional and treat my company with the upmost respect

If you need raw material, check here first! I've been buying from them for years. They are always reasonably priced, quick and helpful. They do some fabrication and custom cutting.

Just left them they tried two scam me and my husband its on camera and when I asked for the weight print out he refused service will be following up with with the good Business bureau

Went there to scrap some wire and it was quick and convenient. The people who work there always have a pleasant demeanor. Top notch.

Great scrap yard and even better employees totally helped me out getting rid of some scrap they also have great new metal sales as well

These guys rock. Good selection of new metals, helpful trying to find what you need and quick service. Great local business.

If you want to get ripped off, come here. You can buy cheaper steel from PDM Steel, or if you want to sell metal/copper/etc.. check out western metal recycling.

Dustin was very friend and helpful. Was very happy with the service and price. Highly recommend this place!
