This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
Customers in McKenzie, TN describe Gerdau Metals Recycling - McKenzie as friendly, fast, and clean, with an organized yard, easy scale access, and generally fair pricing. Many note efficient service and helpful staff, but a vocal minority reports inconsistent wait times due to breaks, occasional rudeness, stricter ID/fingerprint rules, and closing early. Inventory/parts selection isn’t discussed, so ease of finding parts is unclear. Overall sentiment skews positive with recurring praise for professional service and clean facility, but some service inconsistency remains. Score: 81/100.
This place is Great! Staff was amazing! Very patient with me and was happy to answer all of my questions. I will definitely be returning to them for all my recycling needs.
They make you sit for 15 minutes while they're on break. Three guys standing around talking can't take 30 seconds to unload 3 things? I would have unloaded them myself but the lady wouldn't even give me the weight of my truck until break was over. Wouldn't let me throw away one small item in a garbage can. Fingerprint required to sell $16 worth of scrap? Ridiculous and probably illegal. I won't go here again if I find other options.
This place is a joke they're always on break and rude when I go been several times trying to sell scrap they're either closed early or on break this used to be a decent place but Nelson has bought up and ruined every scrap yard within 50 miles don't waste your time driving over there you'll just sit in the scorching heat while they take random 30 minute breaks
