PDQ Recycling in Odessa, TX scores 82/100. Reviews skew positive: many cite great prices and a quick, organized yard, smooth drop-offs, fair pay, friendly crews, and even large-volume crushing done on time; wait times are usually short, and some note late hours. Complaints cluster around front-desk service (rude interactions), disputed pricing, and a few claims of mis-sorted metals. Overall, strong value and professionalism from yard staff, but service consistency varies. Inventory and parts-finding info is unclear for this recycler.
What clients say about PDQ Recycling in Odessa (TX)
In response to your reply....I did NOT receive an apology...That is a lie...And the only reason you had to MANUALLY enter a weight is because I showed your team that I was correct and the scale displayed the incorrect weight...And I had to INSIST that to get back on the scale because your team refused ot...And when I have to wait to be tended to because children have to be tended to first is similar to running a daycare...And with all that metal and scraps I dont think it's a idea to have children running around...And in response to my disappointment about selling the transmission I made a JOKE that my child costed me money but what can we do because we can't sell them or trade them in...You know you're in the wrong...You lied in your response...You need to take ownership for your team....You know you lied in your response
Horrible experience...They tried to short me by saying the scale showed them a complete different weight...They did this to pat less...And I knew it was intentional because they didn't want to allow me back on the scale...When I finally drove back on the scale and took a picture of the correct weight they gave me the difference but obviously they were very upset...No apology...No greeting when I returned to the front desk...They gave me the difference but I wasted an extra 20 minutes at least just to get the correct amount...Be careful with them and take pictures of the scale when you're on it...They are very shady...And I think they run a daycare in there on the side...Not sure how legal that is...Very Disappointing
Prices sounded attractive so I gave them a try.The Smart ass kid running the scale immediately took my high recovery copper wire that we had separated and mixed it with the lower value stuff thinking I wouldn't know the difference. I went inside to see the scale and how he had sorted or grouped my wire and he treated me like was a criminal or Bum who had no business being inside or looking at the screen of his computer. He had mixed it and thrown it into his piles as fast as he possibly could. Hateful looking macho man guy walking around with his tuff guy face on was extremely unfriendly.

Very nice compared to other scrap metal places I have used. It is streamlined and efficient. The office and yard staff were friendly and helpful. I will definitely return here for all of my recycling needs!
Place has horrible front desk. Woman is absolutely rude and disrespectful. Guys in the back are cool as hell but she is a horrible representative of PDQ.
We recently had PDQ come to our yard and handle a large volume of cars we needed crushed, and I couldn’t be more than impressed with their service. From start to finish, the process was smooth and efficient.
They always arrived on time and were incredibly professional and friendly. Will definitely be doing business with them again, Thanks Rowdy!
People here are rude don't ask any questions they will rudely talk to you and not answer your question at all. They even yell to their own employees smh .
I haven't had many dealings at this establishment but I'd recommend trying somewhere else. Employees are rude, disrespectful,unprofessional, and of little help. They also don't seem to know much about ringing up scrap metal. I brought a box of #2 INSUL COPPER – 45% SCALE 1.25LB and was rang up for elect motor scrap .25 LB. Yea I didn't have any elec motors. And mind you this all went down with the boss standing by. Go elsewhere
This place is awesome if your a scrapper. The People that work here are always helpful, Stephanie, Parker and I guess john too lol..jk..na he good too. But 4 teal they take care of you and me not doing this too long, they always tell me what I have if I don't know. Now this is a place to go if you ain't trying to get screwed on your return. Their honest and very helpful. Just the best scrap yard I've ever been too. Thanks guys..keep up the good work.
If you are recycling here you might want to check your prices. I was Quoted as a commercial coustomer .10 on unprepared stainless 316. Currently it is over a 1.00 a pound prepared. As a nation wide recyclers of equipment. This is a complete insult to my intelligence.
First time trying this place, and let me tell you. I pulled up, pulled in, awesome customer service, friendly faces, no hassle, GREAT PRICES, best in town I think, only took about 15 minutes and they were pretty busy as well.
CHECK THEM OUT IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY
