What clients say about Empire Recycling Corporation in Utica (NY)
Gotta hand it to these guys for sure! Both times I been here, I was running behind due to no fault of my own, both times they got me loaded and unloaded! Be nice to em! They do try n get you taken care of, for real! Yard isnt bad, definitely watch for scrap/metal in your tires - as expected from any yard dealing with scrap metal! Much appreciated! Maybe one of these times I won't get delayed by weather/traffic and/or other customer delays!
This plase ships recycled garbage.
Nothing to loose or win, Just a standart recycled facility where broker is telling you its clean and paletised and its just GARBAGE.
SEE pictured attached. If u want ur trailer to be dirty you are welcome.
For a scrap metal recycling center it is very organized and clean. The staff there is extremely attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful to their customers. They have a wide variety of acceptable scrap materials not limited to metals. I highly recommend this facility to anybody in need of their services
Been going for years. Now I will go somewhere else. Told me the small scale was down. Had over 200 lbs of metal. Only got 2.50! Very disappointed with the service!
Took scrap metal from work quickly and easily and paid us a nice sum. They were still friendly even though I pulled in at their closing time and were happy to help me.
