This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
Based on recent reviews, Longview Scrap & Metal Co in Longview, TX earns 81/100. Sentiment is generally positive: many praise professional, friendly staff and fast service, with quick weigh-ins, minimal waits, an organized yard and decent inventory that’s easy to browse. Several note strong pricing on cans and helpful guidance. Complaints cluster around payouts/metal grading (some feel lowballed), higher tow quotes, one report of being left waiting, an early stop to intake before posted hours, and occasional yard hazards (tire risks). Overall, good for quick drops and can sellers, but pricing and towing reliability vary.
This was my first time going here and it is setup so much better than Jennings. At Jennings you have to back in and then pull out, it's a total clusterF. But here it makes sense there are paths and you never have to back up at all!
They are quick to get you weighed and pointed towards the right spot to drop off what you have loaded to turn in. Usually there is not any wait time, it's usually just a vehicle that is in front of you already on the scale so u just pull right onto the scale. Fast service but don't be surprised if you get something in your tire.
Best prices in town! The workers know their material and they always do their best to help! I’ve never had any problems here, keep up the awesome work Longview Scrap Metal!
Just dropped of some #1 copper. All of it was 2/0 wire. Some of it was came out of an old service and the old insulation had stuck to the wire. You could scrape it off with your finger nail. Was told it was #2 because it's got a SILVER COATING! I ARGUED with him and said he DONT NEED MY BUSINESS AND I XOULD GO TO JENNINGS! And to stop whining about it! I take close to 5000 lbs a year there ! Hello Jennings Scrap!
They'll give you a hard time, literally over nothing. And the prices they pay are lower than ALL other scapyards. I'll take my recyclables to other facilities in the surrounding areas, GLADLY! LOL
These guys try to short me $100 on some copper I had to sit there for a couple of hours and finally they did the right thing I would never go here again
These people will mess you out of your money !! Im used to Jennings scrap yard where there’s honest nice people . I only came to Longview scrap because Jennings was closed. They tried to screw me over tried to weigh everything as mixed even my short iron
If you don’t know your scrap they will no doubt screw you
I will never go here again I will stick with my usual honest friendly scrapyard these people should be ashamed.
Decent prices. Hands are quick to give you a hand. Only place i go in with more than 10 lbs of copper and not get scowelled at like I'm a thief. Been trading here for more than 10 years. Great business and best in East Texas hands down.
Fair pricing.. nice staff.. I love that i can buy the brass figurinesthat i find in the big brass bin while waiting to weigh my scrap and well as items found in the yard. Paying a few cents less than some surrounding yards but above the national average right now... can't wait for them to reopen on saturdays
I brought metal framed chairs ,fencing ,2 lawn mowers and a hot water heater, and they gave me 1 cent per hundred pounds for appliances and lawn mowers. when I should have received tin prices
As a contractor in the construction business I’ve used almost all the area scrap yards. These guys stand out with fantastic service, prices and a really well set up,yard. It’s clean, there equipment works and they will unload trailers for you. It’s nice to have what appear to be the owners on site and working to help. I can’t say enough how much I appreciate them and for helping me learn to sort my materials out to get good prices. Most of the yards just dump stuff on a scale and pay the cheap price. Keep up the good work,
Really good service. These guys went out of their way to help me and my wife. It's been years since I have been to recycle cans and iron and they have really changed their prices and are equal to or higher than everyone else. I had my material on a trailer and a very professional crane operator unloaded us with no problems. Just can't say enough how easy they made it. Good group of folks and I will be back!!
