American Scrap Iron and Metal JunkYard in Cayce (SC)

Normally i have no issue here but the last time i went out was overcrowded and the staff wasnt being helpfull with guiding people and the employee walking around the front area insisted that the staneless steel i has was pain scrap after waiting in a line for almost a hour

Very rude e unprofessional and so very Unhealthy to the environment, especially the employee on the excavator, probably not even certified to be operating itself eefroil motor oil battery a c I'd being dumped ,refrigerant bring dumped and directly on the ground ,no attempt to use a waste container or one close by o would like to see the results and frequency of DEHEC AND OSHA AND the people o CAYCE SHOUL BE VERY CONCERNED WITH HOW MUCH A BUSSINES BEING SO CLOSE TO THE WATER THE OAI FOR AND CONSIR

Superior prices and staff compared to all other recycling places. 4 stars instead of 5 only because there's no lane nor median for long lines waiting in the road to turn intofor specifically this place. Too small of area for traffic inside the fence before and after turning in. And they don't update their buisness hours when they temporarily change for clean up and for dump trucks only when they close to the general public that expect Open, to be Open and not closed early or closed on normal buisness days. 4 stars and not 5 bc of those hassles but definitely for not being reachable to be called for hours inquiries calling to see if they are open or not. Still my favorite scrap ace and still my 1 and my choice to stick with.

This company never answers the phone. I understand things get busy but I showed up with a truckload of things at hwy 321 location and traveled a long distance for nothing. I show up at 3:00 p.m. which is 2 hours before closing and they are closing the gate because of a supposed emergency. Businesses need to stick to the time they have listed and if something comes up they need a backup person there. Especially to answer customers phone calls! The Fairfield road location has been shut down for years it seems and has finally reopened only to close the doors early on people, and now I am told that the Cayce location will be shut down until January 2024. I do NOT like my time and money to be wasted. I will be getting in touch with the better Business bureau.

How y'all got people screaming y'all open 8 to 5 daily but 4:55 y'all closed? I mean I know I stood there a good 15 mins before I get told they closed!!! What happen to the original people who opened it now it's like not any better then going to old two notch at least there they ain't tripping on being there 5 mins before closing I only had 1) 25-30 pounds of copper 2) 2 aluminum wheels 3) some electric motors Sorry to have wasted your time doing a 3 item ticket

I had a check bounce on me I felt bad when they didn’t believe that it was a NSF check, and I had to show proof as if I would say this to rip them off even though I felt ripped off not only by the check bouncing, but a full catalytic converter $23.00 seemed to be quit a low price for my first time ever selling one. The check was made right with cash. Other than this I never had a problem since moving here in 2016. One last thing is now when I have a did a lot and have a full trailer I get there and gates are shut closed! What is this about?! I will continue business with them, but only when gates are open though lol! Be Blessed be safe!

pretty quick and mostly easy processing and payment of our recyclable scrap metal items from cleaning up property. very friendly and attentive staff.

Appreciate the staff. Always so helpful!

Reduced total weight by a pound so didn't have to pay .30 and act like they are helping you out.

Pack your patience. Check bounced but they did pay me back and the return check fee from the bank. I did have to drive back over there though. FYI if you do call them the ringing sound on our end sounds weird so stay on the line just saying this bc I hung up real quick a couple times thinking it was a busy tone

I normally have no issues here. The only downfall is when they close earlier than they are supposed to. It would be nice if they added that to the automated voice message when you called so this gold laced gas isn’t wasted!

True to their word! Was told a location was open but when arrived the gates were locked. When I called the man said if you come to the location off of Charleston Hwy I’ll make it worth your time.

A few months ago I call and got a price for scrap . When I got there the price was $2.00 less . I thought maybe the price dropped and it was an honest move by the company . Today I call and get a price and 3 hours later when I get the the price is $3.00 less than I was told . So it seems that they tell you they are paying the best price in town until you get unloaded then find out they are the lowest paying place in town. By the time you find out its too late . So it just cost me $126 to find out that this is the scam they're running to get you in the gate . I would rather go elsewhere for less money than be conned by these people. It won't happen again.

Have been using this location for years. But recently in the last few months it’s went way downhill. The staff is usually in a bad mood, and it affects their business. But more importantly, I’m told every time I come by there that they are really closed, but will take me anyway, which causes a “hurry up I don’t have all day” situation. Your website says open, and if I call the other location near Fairfield, they are always friendly and say that Cayce is open and ready to help me. Wish this location were that nice. I’ve also encountered several situations when they are busy where I have more than one staff member trying to direct me, and they are all directing me in a different area to park. They have no clue what’s going on and it causes more confusion. Going to have to start trying other scrap yards for awhile unfortunately.

I'd be aware of what the scales say and what they pay you. If you have to cheat your customers to stay in business then you deserve to fail. Scales aren't the question, me bringing you 30 lbs and you saying I brought you 29 is what I'm saying bot response.

Not organized don’t know what they’re doing

They will screw you over

Been going there for quite awhile great service and people. However last visit all I got was a run around. Asked for manager and was told no one was around to help me and they were under new management.they said to call back which I did and said they couldn't do that now. In the past I had no problems. Not happy about this last visit. Hope things get better.

Everytime I go there they say they are closed of something is always wrong with the scale even when I'm there between 8-5 like the website saids this place sounds like a joke

They seem to never answer their phones and it's at the most a 50/50 chance that they are open if you show up. Really a waste of time and gas. Do not accept a check from these people! My husband went in on Saturday, got a check and it bounced!

Every time I go scrap I get the best prices around all the employees are very helpful it's not there fault there closed they do that to clean the scrap yard so all you people giving bad reviews can get over your selfs

Everytime I go there they give the better prices and try their best to expedite the process while staying professional

The guy that answered the phone was moody and seemed like he didn't want to be on the phone at all. I was supposed to be called by a tow driver. Never happened. Called back. Kept getting voicemail. Left a message. Was never called back and that was a week ago. I called pull-a-part after that. They were offering the same thing and actually showed up to take my vehicle. I don't know how they have three stars and this place has five.

Recently had 40 lbs of drop cord. Was paid almost $60 which was expected. A few days later i had a few more drop cord and they paid a flat rate of $2 per drop cord.. Everywhere I research has drop cord listed as insulated copper #2. I know prices fluctuate daily but that just felt like highway robbery. Overall the staff is friendly and I'll continue to do business but doubtful I'll be bringing anymore drop cords to this location.

This was a great scrap yard, but when I checked their schedule for today it said they were open now till 3:00. I ride all the way out their to their closed gate! I was really frustrated with them today, i dont know if I'll be back again.

I don't go here on a daily basis but the times I have been there I have been treated fairly and with respect. Sometimes I just donate what I have just to clean up an area. Thank you for your service. Went byTodayButGate was closedWebsite says openPeople at businessSayedNot taking material today

Very good place to go. Everytime I go they all work efficiently and know what they are doing.
