Ben Weitsman of Syracuse JunkYard in Syracuse (NY)

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

Dont go here just they will rip you off.

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.

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

Hubby and I brought a load of scrap metal here. Quick and easy in and out. Pretty fair payout for the load we brought in.

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..

They could use some more office staff there other than that I enjoy dealing with Weitsman

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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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!.

Great prices for your metal. The workers are kinda dickish, but don't let them bother you. I think they just need a hug!

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

Great place, great people, good fair prices, (of course scrappers always want higher... )

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..

Great pricing!

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.

Been dealing with them for years,always good,payout is right or above. Just great all around the board.

Do not waste your time. Rigged scales bottom dollar. Awful system designed to cheat the foolish. Meyalico top notch this place straight fraud.
