The lady in the office gave decent direction, the man in the back with the bus (Alfredo?) was quite helpful and understanding. The white guy in shed A was an absolute jerk. When directed to him, he asked if we had metal for him. Due to lack of specifics, we told him yes, he looked in the bed of the truck and immediately told us he wouldn’t take it because there was steel in there. (Most of it was aluminum, which is why we were directed to him originally, the steel was at the bottom and we knew we would be returning to the bus man for that.) Instead we had to dig the steel out from under the aluminum to make cranky pants accept what we had for his area. Thankfully the steel man (Alfredo?) helped unload. I don’t believe this is the first complaint or issue he’s heard about the other man. Once we arrived back at shed A, he still had issues. Not once was he friendly. This man is next to impossible to please, and we are fairly sure he did not sort everything correctly. I ended up with a FRACTION of what I would get elsewhere. Overall it’s a bunch of run around and unnecessary confusion and agitation for next to no financial return. **If you can, take your business elsewhere.**
I was disappointed in the fact that I brought copper there and they counted it as aluminum because I didn't take the copper tubes out of the piece. And they wouldn't let me take them out once they weighed them. They said it was too late to take them out. Copper is worth a hell of a lot more than aluminum. And if you are getting rid of an air conditioner make sure you have your receipt for a new one before you go there.
If you NEED fast money go for it. If not consider traveling 20minutes up towards Greensboro or Thomasville. Their steel price is horrendous compared to everyone else. Haven’t checked on the other miscellaneous things but man it’s absurd especially how picky they are. Last time we tried throwing a fridge we received which had two or three bags/containers they wanted us to take it with us haha. Took all our metal else where…not like their paying any good.
CHECK PRICES ELSEWHERE . I called 5 places this morning and they are by far the lowest. Paying 73% less than the average of the other 4 places I called.
Asheboro Recycling- $2.50 lb
Foils Salisbury, NC - $3.75 lb
CMC Burlington, NC - $3.30 lb
Cardinal Metal Gso, NC - $3.31 lb
Central Recycling Thomasville- $3.32 lb
Asheboro Recycling has always been low, but this is ridiculous.
Not sure what is going on with the people weighing small stuff i brought in 28lbs of yellow brass and the lady bringing the ticket hollers 25 yellow brass idk what is up but I didn't say anything but scraper beware lil bit janky 3 lbs is 3 lbs.no explanation or something maybe she making side money!!
Very quick get paid, simply pull up get weighed, drop metals at designated location, get weighed again, get paid. They use First Bank as there bank if you should get a check.
Office people are great and nice one guy in the back doesn't know the difference between aluminum and steel had me going in circles, not the guy in the shed he was very helpful
Very speedy service, easy to navigate around the facility and very friendly employees!!! I highly recommend this recycling center to everyone even not people from Asheboro. Never really been big on recycling untill I saw first hand how easy it is to do it so my household started small recycling aluminum cans.
Kinda tight to get a 80000 pound vehicle trough but other then that lady's in scale house really nice hell ever one in there has been very nice don't mind going at all
Fantastic service from Fantastic people! Every time I go there its enjoyable, as I am treated like I am part of the great team they have there. Everyone has a positive attitude all the time. Great public contact experience!
