Typically you'll get your money's worth from your aluminum, copper etc. Smooth operation, everyone is a pro. Nice clean shop too. I'll continue to use their service. You should too!
I don't normally go out of my way to write a negative review, but I am compelled to do so here, not because I am upset about a poor experience, but rather in the interest of protecting a prospective customer from an absolutely dishonest business transaction.
I am the manager of a multi-million dollar business that occasionally accumulates small amounts of scrap metal. On this particular day (5/2/2024) one of our associates who usually handles scrap runs was on PTO, so I decided to handle a load of scrap in his absence.
At our business, we use a calibrated scale to precisely weigh pallets of freight before shipping to our customers via truck freight carriers; I know this scale to be precisely accurate. Before loading this particular scrap piece into our company truck, I weighed the pallet to make sure the truck would not be overweight. The piece weighed in at 1,725 LBS.
The image attached to this review is the receipt I was given by a gentleman managing the scale at Brookman Iron & Metals. You will see that according to the receipt, the difference between my loaded weight and unloaded weight was 600 LBS; more than 1,000 LBS less than the known weight of our scrap.
In summary, I would strongly suggest that if an alternate option exists for your scrap / recycling needs, any prospective customer refrain from doing business with Brookman Iron & Metals.
Once you get to know the staff here, it feels so comfortable coming here. We are regulars as we junk as a side income. Definitely the only place ill ever take my junk metal to.
I split a pile of scrap metal with a friend of mine. We both went here (at different times) to get cash for our scrap metal. He got $50 i got $9. So do yourself a favor dont go here, not worth the risk.
