In Jersey City, NJ, Cinelli Scrap Metal Inc. shows mixed but generally positive feedback, scoring 71/100. Many praise fast turnarounds, courteous staff, and strong prices on copper and aluminum; others report low or inconsistent payouts, confusing weight transparency, and occasional rude interactions. The yard is small yet functional, so attention to safety helps. Wait times vary—some quick, some longer. Parts hunting isn’t a theme here. Note: steel often requires a minimum weight. Overall: good pricing with uneven customer service; suitable for regular scrap sellers.
Terrible people skills for the owner, Glen. I waited on line to do a drop off, was told to go out and let the other truck out, then come back in by the guy at the window. Glen then came over to my truck and started screaming at the top of his lungs, "I don't want what you got, go somewhere else" ( this is after me waiting 30 minutes on line to get to the scale). The owner is a miserable person, and misery loves company. This is the same guy (company) that scammed people out of lots of money by tweaking scales when they had their location in Hackensack. If you dont believe me, look it up. Younwant respect? You won't recieve a lick of it here
They took some aluminum off my hands, and I got a really good price for it. I'll definitely be coming back here with any more scrap metal I generate. They have a weight minimum on steel, so it might not be worth it unless you bring a truckload.
It's a rip off, very confusing weight system and you only know what you getting paid for after everything is mix and taken away. Now becoming to late to take your items back.
Small place but functions well a lot of big machines in a small area keep your eyes open and you shouldn't have a problem Steph is helpful and courteous and recycling is always a great thing
