What clients say about Ben Weitsman of Syracuse in Solvay (NY)
If your a woman and it's your first time scrapping metal and you don't know what you're doing they'll take advantage of that I weighed everything at home . I weighed the copper wiring and had 18 pounds of it they weighed it when I went to get the rest of my scrap off my truck . When I got slip it showed 5 pounds and nothing for the copper pipes . Nothing for the alternator. I have cancer , I don't have stupid. Unbelievable .
BRING YOUR METAL HERE!!! We bring our company’s metal here (Wright Way) and they work with us on prices and support us to the fullest! If you have metal and don’t know where to go… Ben Weitzman’s is the place to go. The General Manager at Weitzman’s is great to talk to and they take all non Farris and Farris meals. Support the businesses that help you and this place is what you need for sure!! Go to Ben Weitzman’s of Syracuse with your metal!!
Okay so they're not the friendliest. They're not there to make friends they are there to get their job done. Do as they say. Read the signs. Then collect your money. No problem. Just get out of their way they're trying to do their job.
The employee weighing items was rude. If you asked a question he mumbled a response you could not understand. He threw things down so hard on the scale that they bounced off and flew back at you. You really needed to pay attention or get hit with flying metal. He yelled at me for using a big bag even though he was dumping the items on the scale and the size of bag didn’t matter.
I went over there to waste some aluminum out and the guy was telling me don't try to tell him to do his job I won't be going back there but any of my stuff and I usually get a lot of stuff I rather do my business where people are going to conduct themselves with proper respect the guy's name was Jimmy so try to avoid him at all costs
Read the others on rudeness of the employees and as many times that I been there (quite a few) it's just the opposite. From the guy at the scales to the warehouse for small amounts to turn in to the cashier they couldn't be friendlier. I've never met Ben himself but if you were to ask my personal opinion u'd say customer service is first and foremost.
As far as the prices go I don't bring in tonnage material so I don't know if I'm getting the best price I have to depend on honesty on their part. If your looking for someone to coddle, hold your hand and kiss you goodbye, then find some place else to go.
Not a friendly bunch. Tried underpaying the guy before us and complaint that some of our stuff was mixed. Took us 4 seconds to fix the mixed up stuff. Make sure you know what they’re weighing or they will give you the lowest price possible. Won’t be going back there.
Brought a s10 blazer I removed and drained all fluids including gas tank I kept rims because new tires I kept radiator because was new filled with short steel drums rotors and lawn mower blades I got 160 for 3600 pounds what a scam, ps I drained fluids because last I knew u were supposed too
Monopolies should still be illegal. Ben has boughten up yards across the east coast, he will low ball you because you wont be able to find any competition, and he hoards metal until chinese markets go up..
This place was helpful for me getting rid of 220 feet worth of chainlink and fence posts but be careful because the place has scrap metal everywhere. If you aren't scrapping more money then what a tire patch would cost then it's not worth it. Also better know what you are scrapping and how much to get for it otherwise they will just charge it as mixed tin scrap
Is it possible to give them 0 stars? Totally crooked!! They told me they would give me $121 a ton with their dumpster and I had 11 ton and they only paid me $640 because I had dirt in one of their dumpters---- who knew scrap was a clean job? They were also supposed to bring me two 50 yard dumpsters but instead they brought me three 40 yard dumpsters -- which is more money. Please be careful... I recommend never to do business with this company because they are rude and dont care about your business
Will never return.. employees are rude for no reason. And they dont even know there metal.. tried to drop stainless steel cables (100% positive) it was steel.. they wouldnt allow us because they said it was tin.. went to a different place with the cable they said it was in fact steel and they took it as steel no problem
Be ready for bait and switch would not recommend especially commercial accounts offer 1 thing over the phone, you get there they cut the price, pays half of national average on scrap. Very disappointed as they talked to me like I did not know what my commodity was and obvious they have not a clue on yield recovery and volume.
For the small residential customers this place is awful. I had a bunch of copper wire and copper pipe from home projects as well as some brake rotors and other miscellaneous crap. I arrived and there were no signs of where to go out what to do. When I finally found someone they were tremendously rude. Then I had to find my way into a non-descript warehouse and search for a cart to get my stuff into. After accomplishing this I was able to find the scale where a guy didn't ever bother to say hi but, however did give me a six minute lecture about why I should have separated for him a handful of aluminium wire out of the bunch of copper when a simple hey, next time could you not mix this together would have sufficed. I'll stick to Syracuse materials recovery from now on.
What it comes down to for me is responsibly disposing metals. For the occasional need to get rid of some metal and get a little something for it vs pay to dispose of it , its a great option. Turned in an old water heater , used the money to get Dunkin Donuts. Works for me
It usually only takes a few minutes to get through to unload your metal. There's always an employee waiting and happy to tell you where you need to go if you haven't been there before
I apologize for going to Empire Recycling today because they were paying more for the insulated #1 scrap copper I usually bring to you. They paid me for insulated #2. I said, no, that's insulated 1 everywhere else. He said here it's insulated 2. What a ripoff. A complete bait and switch by advertising higher prices and then calling scrap a different classification than it is everywhere else. I will always deal with Weitsman from now on.
I use Weitzman to get rid of Durable Medical Equipment from my loan closet. Items that are no longer working or safe to use can be recycled here and my program gets additional cash.
i wish i could post a half of star because this place is a waste of time employees are rude i know scrap metal they have to make money to but damn they rip you off and tell you they pay the highest when thats bs theres never anyone that can tell you where it goes horrible yard nails in tires when you pull out to the yard not cool
OFFICE STAFF IS DISRESPECTFUL. ADAM W
SHOULD HIRE PEOPLE IN ALL AREAS OF HIS ESTABLISHMENT THAT HAVE BETTER BED SIDE MANNERS. NOT TO MENTION ITS A CESSPOOL. ( SOLVAY)
THERE SHOULD BE TRAINING CLASSES THERE ON PROPER ETIQUETTE PERTAINING TO THE TREATMENT OF CUSTOMERS, CALLING OR IN PERSON!.
When they had Roth steel to compete against, their prices were good.. since Roth closed.. this place has gone to a steady decline.. I'm done going here..
Deceptive advertising, regularly changing rules, and treating the customer like their out to cheat them before they even make it to the scale. Take your scrap elsewhere.
