What clients say about Vega Metals and Recycling in Cleves (OH)
I like the prices for their copper and brass however their scale tried to say that my truck weighed exactly the same amount after I unloaded my aluminum as it did before that doesn't make sense
For being the first time at this place I can promise I won't be coming back unless it's a emergency. So 1. Complaint is I drove on E towns scale not knowing they don't take heavy metals anymore. There scale clear as day without me in the truck read 6660 lbs. Now some of it was sheet steel, the majority of it the was 1/4 inch I beams. 1 huge one that easily was 600 lbs over 12 foot long. They gave me sheet shredded price at a huge 0.07 cents a pound. 2. Nothing was shown how much i weighed before or after unloading. I had almost 1100lbs shredder sheet. Made 80 bucks, I would of gone anywhere else it would of been higher. Complaint 3. Why the hell do I need a company name to turn in scrap? Take a picture of me an scan my ID like every other scrap yard ive been too!
Normally I have a good experience at this place. I have read reviews of this place not weighing accurately. That has not been my experience, until today.
I weigh my scrap before taking it in so I know roughly what I should expect. I had 3 plastic store bins with copper. 2 of them I weighed at 75LBS and one of them weighed 60LBS. 210 lbs Total. I didn't think to look at my receipt until now because I trusted them since they've never done me wrong. I got paid for 159LBS. I'm missing about 50LBS! I wouldn't care about anything less than 10-15LBS, but this is too much. . Nearly $150 short! I feel like I have been stolen from. I may or may not come back to this place now. Sucks, because I liked this place and I referred people to come here.
Cheated me on my weight for bare bright and rang it up as copper number two. I just left there and definitely won't be coming back. I cut my wire and weigh it up. Separate my angel hair from bare bright even .yea thanks but no thanks
Always been taken care of by these guys. Even let me buy a couple pieces of steel for like 3 bucks that I needed for a project. Always gave a good amount for scrap as well!
They really do take care of you and go up and beyond I highly recommend them and they're honest with the stuff that they take and can't take great place if you're looking for The great place to scrap
I've had good experience with them in the past. But just found out today, that since about a year ago, they are no longer open to the general public... only commercial and industrial.
Well the staff is very friendly and cool BUT they keep changing the times that they close the gate. Its very ridiculous because none of it is posted it's just something you find out ONLY when you're turned down for being a couple minutes sooner than the last time you were told.
Quick easy and a batter payout than before still not worth going too unless you just getting rid of scrap metal. Wire prices are still all romex prices no matter what you have
When you go in with clean coil aluminum, get a ticket for clean coil and get paid for old stock. This place needs closed. They made sure to pick my load up quick but didn't want to pay for what they received...
The staff very down to Earth and friendly. The operation is smooth like a Swiss Test Dial! You be unloaded paid and on your way out faster then you can smile,say cheese and make your mark on the paper! I've been using Vegas for all my recycling needs for more years then I can remember well over 20+ years as I wasn't even driving age yet when my uncle first shared this A++++ business with me! They've always treated me right even if they was having an off day and at times even better then I personally deserved! I can't for the life of me think of any business still operating to this day that has treated me so great over the years since I first met Dion! Don't even waste your time googling another place if they can't make ya happy youre def gonna be mad when the other guys deal ya down on the whole shootn match!
My wife took low voltage cable to be recycled. They treated her very poorly, cussed at her, and very aggressive with her. Most of the cable was black jacketed Cat6 cable. They thought because it was "black jacketed" that the cable was coax so they were cussing and separating the cable. I told my wife to tell them it was black Cat6 copper cable. They said he had been doing this for 40 years and he knows coax. I called to talk to the manager but he wouldn't tell me who that was. This was .y last time doing business with this company. I'm going to continue to look for the owner and tell.rhem.our experience. Not so much that they didn't take the cable but cussing and being very aggressive to my wife.
Update: I just talked to the employee claiming to be the owner. This is the same employee that mistreated my wife and his employees while she was there. He tried to educate me in how the Cat6 cable was coax. And how he didn't act completely inappropriately. After he couldn't convince me he insulted me and hund up. If this is the owner I dont know how he stays in business If it's not, and the owner sees my post please reply this review to discuss. Or you could review the CCTV footage yourself.
Place is a bunch of scammers. Brought in 150 lbs of aluminum window frames and they priced it out as sheet metal for 30 cent. Got $44. I've got $80 at other places for the same stuff.
Service, price, ease of use. Used them all and this is the easiest to use with friendly helpful service. The only one where they don't make you feel like a crook
I go there frequently and have always been treated courtesly. The only thing i dont like is their scales don't read outside so you have to go in to see your weight!!
I got horrible service here in fact I just had to leave without getting paid for the water heater that I dropped off. I will never be back here. I wish I could give 0 stars.
Vegas Metals Recycling was the worst scrap yard I have ever patronized. The staff was rude and seemed determined to mis-read their own scales. Plus, this was our fifth trip to a scrap yard and we only used Vegas because they were opened later on Saturday. They under-weighed our aluminum. We will not return and we will make sure we tell others that Vegas is not reputible!
