This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
Based on recent feedback, Lancaster Salvage Co in Lancasterville, PA scores 95/100. Sentiment is highly positive: customers praise friendly, professional staff, a family-run feel, help with heavy items, and fast, no‑hassle scale in/out with quick cash. Many cite fair or strong prices and easy access, short waits, and a tidy yard. Weak spots: a few users felt severely underpaid and called it a rip‑off, so pricing perceptions vary. Little detail on auto parts inventory or finding specific parts—reviews focus on scrap drop‑off. Overall: service shines; compare metal prices if payouts are key.
Very, VERY nice and helpful, generous people! Super neat and inviting atmosphere, you can tell it’s a family run business in all the right ways. Whether you have a little or a lot, check these guys out!
This team was extremely friendly and professional! I called ahead because I had a 53 pound solid steel fire pit grill. No place else would take it. They welcomed me to come down and I backed up and some nice gentleman popped out and took the heavy thing out of my trunk for me. I received a slip and went to the office for my $2.65. This heavy item is gone from my home and it will bless somebody else. Praise the Lord! Definitely take your metal to these people and call ahead if you have any questions. The office manager is super friendly!
Probably one of the worst salvage places you could use. Copper, motors, scrap steel. Doesn’t matter what you have they will give you less then half of what they should. Used this place 3 times over the span of 3 years and every single time I’ve been super disappointed. I get it it is scrap trash metal but when you are bringing in some serious weight and are given Pennie’s for it it almost feels like theft. But you have already unloaded so what will you do? Highly Highly do not recommend. Find somewhere else anywhere else would be better.
These guys are the best! Very friendly and helpful... This is the place to drop off your scrap metal! I always look forward to going here and getting Handfuls of cash!
Drive on the scale, unload your stuff, get weighed again and get paid the difference. Works great and the people that work there are friendly. Easy location.
Don't go there a total rip off, if I would have went to Harrisburg I would have gotten $40-50 they gave me $1.75 are you freaking kidding me....do not ever go there that place is ridiculous
This is the first time we tried to recycle metal that I had sitting around from a couple of home improvement projects. It wasn't a large amount, so I wondered if it was worth it, but I did it anyway because I didn't want it to go into the landfill. The people at the center were professional and friendly. I was also pleasantly surprised by how much I got for what I brought in.. So, all in all, it was well worth it.
Wish they had a website so I don't have to call every time I have a question, but since they do not, I thought it was worth sharing their hours of operation during the weekday.
M-F 8a.m. - 4:15p.m.
Very polite owners. Easy access and quick service.
