What clients say about Cohen Recycling - West Carrollton in Miamisburg (OH)
I had requested a forklift to unload my pickup truck, but unexpectedly, a massive crane arrived and damaged the truck. I had not given permission for the crane, and the manager was kind enough to understand what had happened. He took pictures and sent them to the headquarters, but they never reached out to me.
If you’re selling scrap copper I highly advise looking elsewhere. They didn’t do anything wrong just don’t give good pricing & there are better places to get almost double the amount cohen offers. I assumed this was pretty standard across all recyclers. But that’s the cost of assumptions.
Walked out with much less than another place would have given. Just down the street is offering 3.95/lb currently.
I literally got paid the lowest that I have ever got paid on clean aluminum rims. Then the guys switched my clean copper with the insulated copper. I'm aware that the price fluctuates on scrap but everywhere else I have called has been 60 to 70 cents per pound for clean auto Wheels. When I told the lady inside that they switched the copper around, she said absolutely nothing. So I guess that must just be normal they kind of just pay you what they want for the wrong material bare bright copper that I got paid insulated wire price for. Sucks because I did business with this company before and they did me right, this time they got me pretty good. I'm out of work because of a spinal disease, so money is pretty tight right now. They are also paying .13 cents per pound for battery LOL $0.42 a pound for clean Auto wheels. If you have any type of aluminum or copper I would suggest First Street recycling, or anywhere but this place
New at this; but not sure it's worth the experience. I took in mixed scrap; a couple electric motors, old jumper cables, an aluminum work stand, aluminum scythe handle and a bunch of old chain saw blades. When I arrived there were four cars ahead of me. I parked and went to look thru the side door to see how they unload, sort, and process. I was told to get back in my vehicle. 45 minutes later it was my turn. Two people working there; I asked where to put the items; he said put it all on the platform. I did; they weighed it and gave me a slip of paper to take to the next building. There they gave a slip of receipt for 94 pounds of sheet iron-unclean. And paid me $6.82.
Prices didn't seem to correlate with website.
Directions unclear.
I sell old catalytic converters here, I remove from customers vehicles occasionally and scrap aluminum from shop projects. Staff is easygoing and fair.
I turned in 50 pounds of copper in and they gave me the wrong grade and the wrong price for that grade I got less than $45 from 50 pounds. I tried calling to get it sorted out, they didn’t answer but said they would call back and they never did. I would strongly recommend going somewhere else
Asked the associate and said they have the most “fire” scrap metal, didn’t think they were serious. This place been burning for 6 hrs now. 10/10 service
Pulled in today, I was second vehicle at 9:00, unloaded some aluminum, alm cans, copper, and general steel. Pulled out with cash in hand at 9:20.
Very efficiently ran and the 4 people I interacted with were very pleasant.
The wait time was ridiculous. I just had a few auto parts to dispose of, but there were many trucks with large loads in front of me. After waiting for 10 minutes I just turned around and left. My guess is it would have taken more than half an hour. It would be useful if they had a self dropoff. I don't need money for my scrap metal. I am just looking avoid putting these in the trash to save the environment.
I love this place.I have been coming here for years .Cohen took it over and they are very nice and helpful.A quick way to make a little extra cash if you have you have any scrap metal you need to get rid of.
The staff are helpful, and courteous. The layout is easy to navigate. On a holiday weekend, I had a question about their hours for the coming Monday. When I reached out via Facebook messenger, I got a response within minutes. I only wish they would open on Saturdays again...
They are running a skeleton crew there. They don't rush to help you and are not even nice to their customers coming in.
I would like to something done with their customer service, sense they have been under new management/ownership it's been this way.
I've lived here for many years and only discovered Cohen this week. Did not want our Trampoline to end up in a landfill. They recycle so much stuff. Before putting your discarded washer, dryer, batteries, SUV etc to the curb for a trip to the landfill, check them out.
Friendly service and staff who are happy to answer customer questions to improve scrapping knowledge and income. Personal service and kids who come with parents are treated like royalty.
This place was bought out by Cohn Brothers. I went here actually try g to avoid them b/c they are generally rude to customers and I don't like it. I was greeted with the same rude service as always and obviously will try not to go back again
As of 2015, it is Cohen Bros. Good workflow for small loads. As for privacy, they record driver license ID, vehicle license plate, and the address on your drivers license. I know that they pay in cash for small loads, but I don't know their policy on larger loads.
