What clients say about Ben Weitsman in East Rochester (NY)
Love this place
Great prices
Friendly informative staff
theyalso sell brand new steel next door
Same company, different divisions
Open seven days a week
Late hours
This place is a joke. I own a hvac company. I brought my scrape here. They signed off on it I went to the window and they needed another approval because it’s was 1150 dollars. This approval took 38 mins I stood there while people passed me in line.
I always hear that ben weitzman pays top dollar so ive been dumping here. Metalico is paying .80 cents per lb for aluminum where ben weitsman is paying .62 cents. It may not sound like a lot, but when you're bringing in trailer fulls of aluminum, it amounts to a few hundred dollars, each time extra by making a ten minute further drive!
In the past, they have matched the price for me, but today, I'm told that's too high. So Metalico here i come!
Best to go elsewhere. Plan to spend a lot of time getting paid. 4 payout windows but only one is ever open unless it’s near quitting time and there is a lot of people in line. Then employees want to get home so they open a second window. 10 people in line 5 minutes per person = 50 minutes waiting.
Today at closing time there were about 8 people inside, in line and 2 outside the door at end of the line. They shut the door on the last 2 and told them to come back Tomorrow to get paid. This after they weighed in and unloaded and weighed out and had their ticket in hand. Pretty dumb. You want to see some angry people!!!
Also, the road has holes deep enough to break an axle. Try Premier Metal instead . Clean flat driveway, fast service. Same prices, close by.
First time going for scrapping automotive parts... A very unorganized place. Cars just parked wherever and however, it's difficult to even gauge where to park let alone drive in...there are barely any signs pointing to where people can weigh scrap. There are torn plastic bins that can barely hold scrap items. You don't get your price in your ticket and you wait a long time to get your money. They have a very ineffient way of doing things and a worker agreed with that. "It's very inefficient, but I don't make the rules". Save your time, go somewhere else. I'm not returning.
New process, slower , don't see a dollar amount till you cash out, customers in line complaining. The yard guys are very efficient and helpful. Still my scrap yard of choice.
Called them let them know I was coming from out of town, and I missed the Mt read exit 10a and 10b but on the highway it's one sign that's just 10, so I thought the next exit would be 10b.... yea no.... so I called them back and said I would be 2 mins late and hope they would take us, and they wouldnt.... I didn't have small a amount of garbage scrap....I had bare bright..... never will go here again! Have some decency and common care for your customers!
Bought my stolen $8k car from a thief for $360 and scrapped it. We're extremely rude to me when I showed up and refused to speak with me or offer any explanation as to how this could have happened
The legal title to the car, and my Id's are still in my possession
First Time here, Warehouse guy helped me with my materials. Surprised at how high copper prices are in this yard. My overall experience and profit here was excellent! Definitely will be back!
They take stuff like brass and just consider it tin? Not the only metal or time this happened. Guy on scale has NO IDEA what metal is what. As for copper,it's worse. I'm glad I don't scrap other metals. All weitsman joints do this. I've been to Hornell NY,Rochester NY and olean NY. All are the same. They screw you and process the metal themselves so they don't have to pay a processor. In short,they only care about money,not their customers.
So disappointed right now.we just dropped off almost 1000 lbs of steel fencing but because of 2 pieces of aluminum was in it the grumpy man who was just miserable with his job and being rude to multiple customer said it was tin. I will not return and get screwed again. It's a shame cause this has always been our go to scrap yard for almost 20 years, we've never had a problem before and because one employee was miserable you've lost a loyal customer. That might not seem like a lot yet but if he continues that route I'm sure there will be more to follow
I have been going to Ben Weitsman for 10+ years to recycle scrap metal. For the most part they seemed to have been fair and accurate up until recently. We brought in a bunch of different things #2 Copper, Dirty Aluminum, Electric Motors, Tin, Compressors ect. After reviewing my ticket I noticed they gave me 1 pound for my Electric Motors (0.32 cents total). I definitely brought in another dryer motor for a fact as I just removed it that day. They clearly took the motor and did not pay me for it.
Just be mindful of the people who work there and possibly even weighing everything before hand as their bins and scales cannot possibly be accurate. It was the young kid inside the building who screwed me. Should have been an extra $5-$10 so not a huge deal but if they choose to be that inaccurate with every single person imagine the extra money they make. Makes me wonder if they have been doing this all these years.
First time there to recycle old snow blower. Easy to drop off. Everyone was courteous. Signage could be better, we missed scales on right as you come down drive.
Nickel and dime you so bad. I got charged for ice. I got charged for a piece of plastic that was on a chair. Got charged $10 for my wood pallet. Inside do they do not know any of their medals especially copper and stainless steel. This place is only good for dumping 10. The only worker I do enjoy is Joe. The guy outside literally breathes down your neck I could hear him breathe he's so close to me when I'm taking off stuff on my truck I go there every day. He has an attitude he just needs to back off of people and charge them at the window no use getting to an argument with people.
I had a wide mix of metals, some very small as I can't in good conscience put them into a landfill. The employee was very patient and thorough, taking probably 5 minutes to process me. Payout was even easier..no line, courteous clerk. Better experience than you might expect. Plus, the grounds were swept clear. No nails or screws in my tires this time.
Not bad. The guy knew what i had in my truck copper from a roofing job. 85% really cleaned up. Try giving me .10 cents a pound for copper. No way! So i guess i need to hammer off everything at all. I thought was scarp yard?
A professional staff, knowledgeable and very helpful. The have a price list upon request. They make you fell like they appreciate your business and want you to come back with more scrap metal. I'll be back!
I’m flabbergasted by the rudeness of their employees. An employees aren’t friendly at all and the pay is terrible compared to other places I’ve been. I’ll travel to Waterloo next time. I’d give them a 0 stars if it let me.
Wont ever go here cant even get a straight answer over the phone on what they are paying for painted siding. Told if its clean its $.43 a pound and if dirty $.10 a pound that's a huge jump. Not worth the extra drive to not know if your going to get screwed or not. As much as I hate the local competition I will continue to go there
No you may not have my number your employees dont have a clue what they are talking about in not about to get screwed after loading a 1000+ lbs. I'll just continue to go to the competition
Had never scrapped before, I called beforehand to get the rundown. Customer service was great, explained the bins/carts and what to do. It was pretty intuitive once I got there. I wasn't concerned much about the rates since I was just trying to recycle and clean up my yard. Overall was pleased with how easy everything was. Being open Sunday is a big perk.
First visit, (skipped Alpco this time) and it was a mixed experience - the signage over the office needs to be repainted so us newbies can see the Stop on RED, go on Green for the scale. - put a sign next to the scale maybe? The gal in the front office was helpful and nice, as was the guy in the yard where I dropped my tin/mixed stuff - told me to get re-weighed before I got rid of the short steel. My stuff was sorted, or so I thought... turns out that when you take the other materials to the warehouse (aluminum, motors, mixed metal, etc.) it's supposed to be in bins, but I was unaware of that (mine was in bags, and a plastic trash can) and a guy behind me got mad that I hadn't prepared it properly; I apologized for my ignorance and let him go ahead of me. Felt bad that I held up the line, but would have liked to know in advance what I needed to do.... I realize that most of their customers know the protocol, but a couple of signs would have been helpful. (checked their website to see if I missed this info somehow, but it's not there: suggest that they add that, maybe "Before you stop by, read this!" and some tips on identifying scrap metals. Our ignorance increases their bottom line, but you might increase your customer base.)
Brought a cast iron tub that had very little porcelain on it maybe a total of 2 pounds and they wanted to give me tin price instead of short Steel the guys in the back were extremely rude and cocky this place will try to take you for all the extra money you have coming every time I've dealt with these people they were unfair. Anybody that's given this company a good review obviously works for them. I saw them give some guy who barely speaks English $20 for a catalytic converter highway robbery
