Gordon Recyclers - Hickory, NC JunkYard in Hickory (NC)

This was my first visit to a scrap yard and the Hickory location. The lady at the front desk was very helpful in getting me thru the process which was very simple. I recommend them to anyone who would like to get some cash while being environmentally responsible.

Junior and Ryan that work in copper and aluminum building are very knowledgeable and willing to help. Office ladies are very professional but still down to earth and kind. Only issue that I have is their prices are often cheap and much less than A1.

Will definitely be returning. Usually very busy but still in and out within 10 minutes. Employees were very helpful as this was my first visit and office staff was very courteous. One employee in particular (green sleeveless shirt) had a phenomenal​ personality and physique, a true charmer.

Worst scrap yard in the area. I find it funny they respond to their bad reviews by explaining how they try to make things right, but then continue to do EXACTLY what the bad reviews state. If you call for a price, make sure you ask them again before accepting your cash… guarantee they are ripping you off. I have left this place more than once with what I’ve brought in, only to get paid at least double or triple the price at the 321 scrap yards. Never again!!!

My company had to dispose of discontinued items. As a person that has never dealt with a scrapyard in the past, I have to say the experience we had with the employee's at the recycling company was far better than expected. I noticed that everyone was treated the same whether you have a large amount to dispose of or a small amount. The employee's have so many different items to deal with but they get you in and out in a very timely manner. I would recommend them to anyone who has recycling needs.

5 stars for sure. This is my go to spot for recycling. Been coming here for many years. Very professional and the rates are fair. Usually pretty fast service. It can be confusing if it’s your first time but after that it’s easy. The workers are helpful and friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone who has scrap metal. I will continue to come here.

Anthony and his staff are the best fair pricing and most of all courtesy and respect for all of their customers I won’t go anywhere else 👍 Hands down the best scrapyard around today they had customer appreciation day with hotdogs and drinks for everyone thank so much guys!!!

Rudest bunch of people and place I have EVER been to in my life. Will tell everyone about this place. Do not recommend. Stupidest way there system works of business. Alot of back tracking. Lady at window in office couldnt, wouldn't talk up so you could hear her or understand her. Thought I was buying a car or house had to sign so many papers and the pencils they were offering for me to do so hardly was sharpened for the lead to appear on the paper. Stupid !!!! Plus Rude!!!! The guy that weighed my items I took there to sale never told me how much it was going to bring just slung it back and told me to go back to the office and they would pay me. Wish I had it to do all over.

I will have to say to me this is the best scrapyard in the area .when they are busy you still are able to weigh and get paid less then 30 minutes. They will help u unloading and help u separate. So u can get the most money.

Very helpful! I'd only transported others there before. This time it was for myself! They were very helpful & I was surprised what they paid for my aluminum cans!! Made me a happy girl!

Had a terrific experience! So much more helpful than that place on 321. Also they didn't cheat me like that place on 321. Thanks for being so friendly and helpful!

They're friendly and helpful even to people like me who don't know their way around a scrapyard.

Very helpful and informative. Employees always come to help me and let me know what I need to do to get out of my scrap.

Fair prices for scrap metal,including aluminum cans,etc. Agood way to get rid of any scrap metal around your home and get a little Christmas money as well.

Guys in warehouse always help me unload everything I have & I don't have to touch a thing! Always very nice & polite to me.

Very easy. On to scales, unload, then back to scales. I had the help of an employee to unload.

Very nice people they helped me sort my metal and payed me a good price for my metal

First time here they were patient explained what to do, where to go. Nice people, very quick, in and out in about 10 minutes.

Fast, top paying around, great employees, they answered all my questions and done all the work, unlike Burke county, hell you got to unload it yourself. Thanks for the extra cash!!!

Lots of great stuff this week.... even saw an old spitfire convertible.... darn shame it was under 8 other cars.

Sold 186lb Brass, Had three pieces irony brass paid for irony brass for all. Went from 1.30lb to .72lb because of three pieces of metal. Need to find a new scrap yard that will be fair to customers.

Where you need when your house has what you don't need, metal wise that is.

very excellent service to me personally the times that I have been very satisfied and very friendly staff I recommend this place

I come here all the time the staff couldn't be better the prices are fair and the company as a whole cares about the customer and its employees and it shows every time I visit

Today was my last visit to this place next load is going to the trash cheapest prices around not even enough for gas money.

Always good to me. They pay scrap prices for scrap which is never what you think it should be, but always make a dollar!

Friendly staff, efficient handling of materials. Its were i take my scrap metal.
