What clients say about Always Buying Scrap Inc in Durham (NC)
Always Buying Scrap is hands down the best scrap yard in the area. I’ve been to a lot of yards all over the state, but this one stands out for its honesty and professionalism. Whether i have a $50 load or a $5,000 load i never have to worry about being treated unfairly. I want to give a special shoutout to Edwin, who runs the scales with real integrity and a strong work ethic — something you don’t always find in this line of work. I never have to worry about anything shady with him; he’s straight-up, fair, and always treats people right. Frank is great too — both of them make the experience smooth every time. If you want a yard you can trust, this is the place to go. Frank Hornyak the manager runs a good shop.
They could tell it was my first time a older gentleman helped me if I made a mistake or didn’t do something right and even helped me get paid totally great place
It's a good spot for me cause it's close but I have an issue when I do take my aluminum cans. When I take my cans no matter what the weight is and my weight grows bigger each visit . But no matter what the weight is the the recycling associate seems to think I'm dumb and pays me the amount of 13.00$ . Now I'm an intellectual meaning I'm academically smart in so many ways to know that it's impossible for me to receive the same amount especially if I have a bigger amount each time I come . So I got smarter than they thought and I have other folks drive through before me with my stuff and then I . I'll take my bf or a cousin and then go through more than once so we all get 13.00$ .
Highly dissatisfied, When unloading they ripped the trim off the top of my tailgate… I asked them about it, they acknowledge that they broke it, but would not help in anyway.
Perfect customer service excellent with communication skills gets the job done right away if you consider calling ANYONE for scrap it should be them ..
Always Buying Scrap is a highly reputable company. I have been a customer for slightly more than a year, and they stand out in the industry with competitive prices on scrap materials and exceptional customer service. I have never had a negative encounter with them, so when it comes to your scrap requirements, selecting Always Buying Scrap is the obvious choice.
Great experience! Mike was super helpful and accommodating with getting me a couple pallets, even though it’s outside the amount they normally sell. Would definitely recommend. Great people and business.
Want to get not even close to the scrap price of any yard? Do you like scales that show you bouncing around in weight? well come on down. Seriously though go tf to a different yard do yourself a favor.
My favorite electricians (Dynamic Electric of Hillsborough) highly recommended them after helping me deal with the fallout
of a defective microwave. As I didn't want to have the bad microwave end up in a landfill I checked out their website. I was impressed enough to haul my microwave across town and have them take it off my hands. They even offered a few bucks for it! What a great service! Check out their beautifully done website that's tells you all you need to know about their many services. Love their conscientious attitude toward their customers and the environment.
Great groups of folks! Everyone I interacted with was friendly and professional. One of the guys even helped me unload my items. I wasn't sure what to expect going in, but I was very impressed with how kind, helpful, and professional everyone was. They made the process easy and quick! I will definitely use them again and I highly recommend them!!
10/10 customer experience! Mike explained everything thoroughly, helped me with a plan to get it there, and made the whole transaction easy and painless. Everyone I spoke with was friendly, made the process speedy. Highly recommend!
I have been coming here for a couple of years now and refuse to go anywhere else. Staff is always friendly and willing to help. They will get you in and out in no time.
My company was moving to 100% virtual, and we needed to get rid of a bunch of old cubicles. Mike and the team made it super easy. They dropped off the dumpster on time and in a convenient location. When we were ready, they picked up the dumpster super fast and gave us a very fair price on more than 5000 lbs of scrap. I highly recommend Always Buying Scrap!
Guys were on the spot for our build. Dropped the containers on time as requested and picked up on time as requested. Good service and the pay out was exact
Happy with the service. Easy in and out. I called three places in Durham and they offered the highest price for the particular metal I was scrapping.
If you haven't been before,, read their FAQ on the website with detailed instructions (w/ photos) on what to do and where to go.
This was our first time using them for our family farm. We had a ton of scrap and needed time to get it all loaded into the delivered container. Mike worked with our situation and was so helpful. Their customer service was impeccable and they’re rates are better than all the other places I contacted. We will definitely be using them next time and recommending them to everyone else!
The service and people working there were courteous and helpful. Good business. The business/work area w as s a bit scary. You have to weigh your options for the fear of picking up a nail or something in your tires. The long entrance is not paved nor graveled and it was full of deep potholes. The return may not be worth the cost of a flat tire.
Great service thanks to Mike and the guys at Always Buying Scrap. Managed to drop off a dumpster for us and picked it up same day. Friendly and quick, and offered top dollar and service for us. Highly recommended.
Fantastic customer service. Mike and his drivers went above and beyond to meet my needs. They were friendly and efficient with dropping off an picking up containers for a store closing project I ran in Apex, NC. Will definitely use them again if I have another project in the area. Really great job. Highly recommend
Not to bad I dropped a bunch of cell tower steel off some really heavy stuff but it didn't pay much how ever it was made up by the copper I had.Left with a couple hundred bucks not to bad for 25min worth of work. Was able to get my cash at the booth up front and I'm gone
Had them take a scrap car off my hands. They were very patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! They gave me a lot more than I thought they would, too. Will use again!
My previous visit here a few years ago was not good, so I was relieved that this most recent experience was quite good. The flow of vehicles was smooth, the guys working there (while maybe not super exuberant or in any rush) were perfectly friendly and answered all my questions, pointed me in all the right directions, and in the end I got what seemed to be a very fair amount for the metal I brought in.
Price always feels lower than it should be. Sometimes they don't see you on the scale and leave you there for a while on more than one occasion. They post closing time 4:45 but often close the gate at 4:40 or earlier.
Took my totaled car here to scrap it. Kyle helped me and he made the process very easy. The owner (I think) came out and before he weighed my car asked if everyone was okay (after seeing my banged up car). Gave us mints before we left and was in and out in 20 minutes. Good experience!
