What clients say about AZ Metal Recycling, Inc in Bronx (NY)
Very rude and slick. I went to ask a simple question before I decided not to bring 370 pounds of aluminum to their yard. I personally approached two of the "main guys" and showed them a photo of an extruded aluminum item I had a question about. One blurted it was ferrous metal- which it was not! And the other guy said he would give me .15 cents - when it actuality I received .74 cents elsewhere. I said it's not worth .15 cents a pound. (It wasnt magnetic). He then said "no I dont want it." So I left instead of talking back. I been around the block with these scrap yards for a bit and they are shorting their customers and not nice with the community they are serving.
A shitty service, they don't tell you the prices and they always make mistakes in their favor. When you ask them the prices of something, they only tell you that the receipt says everything and when you have dirty copper, they want to pay you for aluminum and even more when it's little.
As it was my first time scraping metal I have nothing else to compare it with , I did feel very rush and ignored. I asked questions to a Tony Z about the prices , process and pay out , my questions where ultimately brush off with his response " the receipt will show " they didn't seem overly busy as I at the time was the only one there. The workers seemed very displeased with my questions as their faces expressed ( or maybe that just how they are ) , don't get me wrong I don't expect for these men to be rays of sunshine in a scrap yard but if they are extremely quick to take my business they should bring that same energy when questions are asked and be able to articulate with a proper response because had I known this is the way they conduct business I would have avoided them all together. Feeling a bit ripped off but as with everything lesson learned.
