What clients say about State Paper & Metal Co., Inc. in Toledo (OH)
I love rolling the dice on whether or not I’ll be late for work because they’ve got a 53 foot trailer doing a 12 point turn, to try and back into a 40 foot receiving dock, guaranteeing that an entire lane will be blocked by the truck sticking out into the road. Sometimes both lanes are blocked if the truck driver turns out to not be Houdini.
It’s really not that hard to limit the size of trucks you receive. If you can’t fit a semi truck, then don’t take them.
Got here in the morning, 2nd driver here. Take second driveway and park with trailer and check in. After check in go out in the road against traffic and park in middle dock, traffic is heavy but people will stop and let you back in. Once in dock move tandem back and drop trailer, since sleepers will hang out into traffic. Go back and park with trailers and once they are done loading you they will come with paper work and your good to go. All in all about 90ish minutes here.
If you read the other reviews I guessing these are princess drivers not real drivers.
Four way traffic moving speed limit 50 MPh you have to bobtail separate no space!! No idea why city not take action because public safety matter !!! They have to switch the docks
Went here to pick up a load of cardboard for recycling, I drive a semi with a 53' trailer. To say the least THIS PLACE IS NOT SEMI TRUCK FRIENDLY, no clear signage for truck entrance, no scale accessable for a semi, had to back into dock off a 4 lane street, once in dock had to drop trailer so as to not obstruct traffic, when hooking back up after being loaded my truck was nearly t-boned, I was terrified to get out and close my doors on trailer, definitely will not return if I have option.
Too tight dock spaces. I won’t call this place a truck friendly. Docks are facing to the busy street. Staff is friendly and will help to stop the traffic while you backing in. It was frustrating to back in for a sleeper, don’t know about a day cab though.
You have to unhook while they load because truck blocks the lane for incoming traffic.
I've never been there before. Asked a man by all the cardboard for directions. I tried honking my horn like he told me. I saw a man back in there. I was afraid to come inside. Load in there that must be why they didn't hear me. The Man who helped was nice. Now I know what to do. I will go back there.
The people there are great. Their scrap prices are a tad lower than other yards but it's worth it to go there not having to deal with the issues other yards give you
Can only deliver "bailed" cardboard if it is "bailed" with metal. Just sent 4000#'s and were not paid for any of it because the material is considered loose cardboard when "bailed" with vinyl straps. Same material was delivered a year ago and we were paid for it.

Call and confirm before you waste time or labor.
Professional and easy to use. Plus, they take "random" items that curbside recycling and local
stores don't take. For a small fee they even securely destroyed my portable external hard drive. What's not to love? Also, regarding the other review about scales, I saw a huge sign for scales when I drove up so I think they've fixed that issue.
