First time being here and they ripped me off on 234 pounds of solid aluminum saying it was dirty and a few pieces were but I did not know to separate them so they counted the full 234 lbs as dirty and when confronted what happened they said it already had been dumped. So they kicked me off the property and trespassed me. Fair warning!
prices are great if you ever find the place poor communication skills with everyone that works there not a friendly person at all except for the young lady that handles the cash. I'll go there again but not for the hospitality
I recently took a mini fridge and an old chair to DEF RECYCLING, LLC, expecting at least a fair payout for the scrap value. Instead, I was handed a measly $1 for everything. That was frustrating enough, but what really made this experience a nightmare was realizing later that one of the coins I received as change was a 2000-P Sacagawea Dollar Coin, a rare variety that can be worth up to $5,000!
It’s incredibly disappointing that they either failed to recognize the value of what they were giving out or knew exactly what they were doing and took advantage of people who aren't coin experts. Either way, this is a huge red flag.
If you plan to do business here, be extremely careful with what they give you and what they take from you. You might be getting ripped off without even knowing it!
Would not recommend.
I’ve dealt with David and Angela for over 15 years. They have always been upfront and honest, with competitive prices. It has become the only recycling yard I go to.
I went there twice, both times the woman working in the office was extremely rude! I won't go there again! It's been 5 months, and you just now respond(3/2924)! Very unprofessional
Best place by far in Gainesville to recycle your metal. Everyone we dealt with were super friendly and helpful. They also have sheet metal for sale at a great price!
If you are looking to recycle your metal, this is great place to go! They are quick and they are professional. I’m pleased with the way my first time going to a recycling center ended up because it was easier than I thought and it was fast!
This Scrapyard is the most rudest people I have ever encountered with had a scrap yard The guys didn't even unload anything Off of the truck we had to unload it everyone was on equipment but not doing a darn thing..I will never go back there again Fulton is definitely the one I'll stick to from here on out
The most straight forward recycling center no traffic inside whatsoever and even though it is a recycling center they keep that place very very clean. No problems,no issues just great. Great job to the staff at DEF. Recycling!!!!??
These people working here are amazing!!! Every business needs to bring their employees here to let them see how a customer should be treated excellent all the way around!!!
Dropped off aluminum cans, food cans and other miscellaneous metal. I love that it doesn't go in our trash or landfill, and I get a few bucks in return. Win-win!
If you used to do business with homestead do not go here. Less than 35-40%the pay out per weight. Sold cast aluminum for 32cents per lb. Where at homestead got upwards of 60-70 avg.
