Got Lowballed on Bare Bright Copper — Be Cautious
I brought in 7 pounds of clean, bare bright copper—the highest-grade scrap copper—and got paid only $21, which comes out to $3.00 per pound. That’s well below the going market rate, which currently ranges from $3.80 to $4.50/lb.
Either the scale was off, the category was downgraded, or the pricing was just plain shady. I didn’t get an itemized breakdown, and when I asked about the rate, I got vague answers.
If you're bringing in high-value material, make sure you know the market price and get a quote before handing anything over. I won’t be coming back.
Well it says open till 2pm on Saturdays went down there with 200 or so pounds of aluminum cans and they were not open shouldnt say open till 2pm if u ain't open till 2 pm
I have scrapped off and on for the last 25 years in the Greenville/Spartanburg area. This area is surrounded by huge cities and 100,s of scrap buyers and I have been ripped off by the best of them! over the last 25 years.
I moved to Lordsburg 3 years ago
THIS IS A FIRST for me
I have never had a scrap buyer/scrap yard HIDE THERE SCALE FROM ME AND EVERYONE ELSE.
The first time I sold them my scrap i didn't see a scale anywhere I knew that they had to have one so I started looking for it. Next thing I know is the man writing my ticket says Hey you can't come in here. He acted like I was doing something wrong when I wanted to see how much each item weighed as I sold it to them. So when I got my ticket I was not surprised to see that it was short on my money. I POINTED THAT OUT TO HIM AND HE PAID ME THE DIFFEREN FOR HIS ADDING MISTAKE BUT IM STELL NOT SURE ABOUT HOW MUCH MY SCRAP REALLY WEIGHED. HOW COULD I??
SO EVERYTHING AFTER THAT IS ON ME SO I'M NOT GOING TO CRY ABOUT MY NEXT 2 TIMES I SOLD SCRAP TO HIM AFTER THAT! BUT I CAN LET OTHERS KNOW ABOUT THIS.
THIS IS HOW EVERY HONEST SCRAP YARDS BUYS THERE SCRAP!!
1. SELLER PULLS LOADED RIG ON PLATFORM SCALE LOOKING AT HIS HEAVYWEIGHT RIGHT NEXT TO THE SCALE.
2 SCALE MASTER STAMPS YOUR HEAVYWEIGHT RIGHT ON THE TOP OF YOUR TICKET.
3 SELLER UNLOADS ALL SCRAP WHERE SCALE MASTER TELLS YOU TO.
IF YOU ONLY HAVE ONE KIND OF SCRAP TO SELL UNLOAD IT THEN YOU PULL BACK OVER THE SCALE SCALE THE MASTER STAMPS YOUR TICKET WITH YOUR LIGHT WEIGHT THEN YOU GET PAID!!!
IF SELLER HAS MORE THAN ONE ITEM TO SELL THE SELLER MUST PULL BACK ON THE SCALE AND THE SCALE MASTER WILL STAMP YOUR TICKET FOR EACH ITEM SOLD, RIGHT ON YOUR TICKET.
WHEN YOU GET YOUR TICKET IF YOU ADD UP THE DIFFERENCE FROM YOUR LIGHT AND HEAVY WEIGHT WILL BE THE SAME AS HOW MUCH SCRAP YOU SOLD THAT DAY... EVERY TIME THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE.
SO WHEN THE OWNER OF THIS BUSINESS GOES TO SELLS THE SCRAP HE BOUGHT FROM YOU HE HAS TOO FELLOW THIS PROCEDURES EVERY TIME OR HE COULD NOT SELL HIS SCRAP
I have been to this location a few times and I find them to be helpful, and fair. I bought a property in grant county that had a lot of metal left on it. I had never recycled anything but cans before. The location took all of my metal and I got a fair price for it. They helped me Un load the metal and I found them to be honest too. I had a good experience every time I have been in there.
This is a truly family oriented business. The guys that run this business are very helpful and treat everyone with the same kindness and fairness. I felt like family when they help us towing the car safely and securely. environment
It's a family operated and owned business. they also deal in U-Hual rentals. They are very helpful, but they are the only place in Deming to really bring in earning recyclable materials, so they don't always give the current going rate for common materials. Most folks here wit till they have a nice load and drive it the hour to Las Cruces.
ALWAYS call ahead before going to United, sometimes they close early or don't open at all. But they're are still a good group of fellas. 👍🏼💯
Roberta it's our policy to treat everyone fairly. If we didn't it's common knowledge we wouldn't be in business for very long. If you have any concerns, please feel free to talk to us. Many of our customers know we don't hide our scale weights. It's here in plain sight. Anyone can see their weights. I encourage every customer to look at their weights and many do.
Thank you.

We took copper there a few times and everytime it comes out to weighing to 40 lbs but the scale is inside where you can't verify it. The batches we would take was always different some was more than the first time we took it that weighed more than the 40 but they keep saying it was 40 lbs. Unfortunately they make you take their word instead of you watching their process. We took 2 air conditioners and the son said it came out to 12 dollars and gave us 3 dollars, and saw the other 2 men pocket the rest. We we confronted them and spoke to the dad since it's a family owned business. He pretended to not understand any English. So when we spoke to him in Spanish he said his sons would never do such a thing. This place is a rip off, and has no moral values. Such a disgrace for being a family business.
