T T & E Iron & Metal Inc JunkYard in Garner (NC)

They buying scrap at $ 3.45 a pound for barr cooper number 2 and i they only paid me 3.20 for each pound. So it dont matter whatever they say in their website they going to end up give you what they want....

Helpful workers that jumped right in when they seen me struggling a bit to pull out all my metal. Tore down an in ground pool for a customer took off the metal as part of my extra pay for the job.

I work for a large motor carrier in the Raleigh area, and they had the ability to accommodate even the big boys, in and out in approximately 15 min, when they were very busy. They even impressed me, they were good.

I have used this scrap yard for years. I must say they have pretty fair pricing and pretty well organized facilities. My problem is with one of there guys that weighs your wire. He’s the older fella who runs the scales. He is always very critical and insulting but does it with a smile. Pull your truck closer, that too close. He always tries to talk down to you about organizing of your scrap. I’ve been doing this for 16 years and my dad was a metal fabricator. I am going to start looking for a better way to sell my scrap. I no longer will deal with this employee therefore I will no longer use this scrap yard. Anyone who has been here likely knows who I am talking about

Very impressed. I took several buckets up there and a couple of the guys in the back realized that we hadn't sorted it out correctly. They took the time to dump out a couple of the buckets and sort it so that we could get the most money for it; while patiently explaining to us how it should be sorted and answering our questions. And the lady at the window inside was awesome. She and my Dad got talking. Made him very happy.

Was my first time visiting today. I was navigated by workers, and they explained what goes were. They even helped me to unload heavy appliances. Very nice people working there. Easy process, spend less than 20 minutes, got cash - happy. Thank you

Fair prices, good location, quick service

Very well run scrap yard. I have been to a few scrap yards in the triangle, and this is by far the best run and managed. The folks working here spoke highly of the management, and seemed genuinely happy to be at work. The employees all provide clear directions for first-timers, and the weigh-in and out process moves smoothly. Thank you!

Hands down cleanest scrap yard ever. Best value for your scrap metal compared to other local scrap yards. All the guys out back are always in good spirits and are more than willing to help. (Word of advice don't throw your scrap on the ground and make them pick it up). Front staff makes payment super quick and they will also put a smile on your face. This is the only scrap yard and should be yours as well to do business!

Great place nice people very busy

Visited TT&E for the 1st time yesterday. Very impressed with the organized process, efficiency, and friendly staff. From entry to exit, everything went very smoothly with a smiling, friendly, and most helpful group of employees. A big shout-out to Bobby (scales) and Robert (yard). Robert even went ouf of his way to write down where I should stay should I visit his homeland (the Dominican Republic). I'm now looking for other possible recycle materials so I can return to TT&E.

My only complaint is the line that you have to sit in as well as the big trucks trying to squeeze past you. A bigger area for customers to pull up to and offload into a bin would be ideal.

Just went here for the first time. The process was super easy and I cannot say enough good things about the people. Everyone we talked to was incredibly nice and happy. Even my son said as we were walking out, "everyone here is super nice!" Great place!!

The staff is very friendly and extremely helpful. The scrap prices tend to be the best around. I use them regularly for our recycling needs.

I have been selling metals here since the 90s. The guys are always fast, helpful, and friendly. I have cheated on them a few times. I call competitors to check prices. TT&E is usually very consistent so for convenience sake I'll just go there.

They got it down almost perfect minus the turn around and the non ferrous line is usually long but good fair people

They always nice and friendly and they keep the area clean so you don't get nails in your tires

place is no good. People who answer the phones are rude, everyone that was running a scale could hardly speak English. Had to wait in line to get to the main scale, wait in line to unload my truck, wait in line to weigh out, wait in line again to get to another line to sell my copper and aluminum. Oh and then wait in line again to get my money from a grumpy cashier. Almost got hit by a forklift that was carrying a bale of wire while waiting to get out of the scrap yard. Almost got ran over by another fork lift while unloading my aluminum. And almost got crushed due to the fact the forklift operator was trying to put a 3000 pound steel bin with 100 pounds of sheet aluminum on a 5x5 scale. Did not know what I was getting paid for anything until 6 lines later then find out, the prices I had been quoted on the phone were different then the prices I had gotten paid for. It doesn't matter to try and explain that to anyone running a scale because they don't speak English and you can't explain it to the cashier who you just spoke to a hour ago on the phone because they are to grumpy and busy trying to get everyone paid standing in line. Its not one-on-one, the place is a out of control mad house, its like walking into a wasp nest. You can't ever speak to a owner or a manager, good luck speaking to anyone at all. they are to busy or high an mighty. Place is crumby and a little to shady for me. I wouldn't recommend to anyone and frown upon the person who suggested I go here. If you have a good scrap yard that you are used to going to, stay there. I see this place and run as fast as I can without looking back. Good for big companies only, not for individuals.

1st time going here, and idk if I will be back. Maybe I caught them at a really busy time or something. I was weighed in kind of fast, but after that is where it was a nightmare. I was directed to pull around to where the cranes were to unload. But soon as I made the turn their was about 3 vehicles in front of me waiting to unload. Another 3 vehicles actually unloading. After about 25 mins the first vehicle unloading pulled out, the next person went in. This process repeated and I had to wait a very long time to even unload my metal. Then as I'm trying to leave their was even more people trying to come in and get out, traffic jam big time. Meanwhile their was forklift operators zipping in between vehicles while carrying loads of something. One came very close to actually scraping the side of my van. Finally after about another 30 mins of waiting I made it to the scale to get out. Only to find out I have to park in go inside, and of course their was about 7 people in line trying to get paid. It took way to long to do all of this. I also called 2 hours before to check the rate of reg metal, and was told 3 cents a lb. so I get their and it's 2 cents a lb. asked the guy who weighed me in and he didn't have an answer. Not that 1cents makes a huge difference but just the principal of it.. I understand these prices fluctuate constantly but find it hard to believe it changed with an hour and 45 mins of me calling exactly. Not sure if owners read this or not but my advice to you guys would be to maybe open up some more room For the ppl trying to unload their metal. Allowing 3-4 vehicles to unload at 1 time definitely isn't working. If you just made enough room to allow maybe 2 or 3 more vehicles, I think it would make a world of difference. Again maybe I came at a bad time. I came on a Thursday around 3:15pm. Is their a better time to come?

We had never been to a scrap metal yard before but we had 3 old steel filing cabinets taking up space in our garage. We took them to TT&E and it couldn't have been easier, their employees quickly directed us through the whole process and we got a few bucks at the end! Great experience!

The staff was really helpful and kind, it was my first time ever going to a place that buys your stainless steel and they walked me through the process. I would definitely use this place again

Quick and efficient, but I've yet to make it out of here without a nail in one of my tires. Make sure you have more than $30 worth of metal (cost for a tire patch) or the trip is a loss.

Was in & out; no problem. The staff; the ladies at the window were very nice and helpful; they made everything easy - Thank you!

Haven't had any issues getting loaded here. It's a little tight and cluttered but other than that my wait time plus getting loaded has usually been under 2hrs. #LadyTrucker

Amazing owners, they come out and work hard and treat employees and customers amazing!! The owners are very friendly and kind. Best place around.

$28.22 for a whole car engine is a steal, If you take into account the aluminum it has. 3 star because they work really hard in there.

Personal I love going out to scrap yard tt and e I almost know every one .my children enjoy seeing big machine. And it teaches the how to recycle. People there are so. Nice
