Astro City Scrap Metal in
Houston (TX)

So i got kicked out because of this "nasty Google review" not allowed there anymore 🙃 but its fine could've just pulled of to the side and talked about it i would've erased my comment but since gonna be like this then ill express what really goes on here, my comment aint gonna hurt his business since they get commercial loads which they even hardly inspect just throw it in weight it and boom paycheck, they are very linient to trades since they come in with bulks of scrap from their field as for people who bring in random pieces of scrap they are subjected to thorough inspection of their material to bring down the price they frown on having to check its valuable as opposed to simple one material bulk. Good thing I found another scrap yard close by with competetive high paying prices that caters to the common scraping joe moe. People bring in pots and pans and basically anything oh and they take ferrous material as well. I took some of the same material as the picture not with a thin layer of glue but with liquid nails still stuck on there and they took it in as clean!! Complementary fountain drink on the paying booth too. So if u are not in the traits go check out Houston metals i believe thats what is called, its about 15min from there. So this is the comment i got single out for. And I won't be petty lower the stars because I respect ur prices and some of the hard working crew u got there but some of the be snotty to the common joe, one told me nah i aint looking thru that. A bin of different materials i was trying to sell. Changed my mind about this place, very picky, yes they will pay top dollar but it better be spotless, one screw, a little bit of caulk or paint, or just the glue that held it together and they will slash your price in half so before u come here make sure your metal has been throughly washed with shampoo and conditioner if you expect top dollar.

The service is the best I ever had. They actually took there time to make sure I got the best bang for my buck

Open on Saturdays. They offload for you. Very polite. Usually fast paced. Limited parking.

First time for me to do business with this scrap yard. Main reason I did was the live prices on their website. It cuts out all the BS I had a good load, and figured I would be there awhile. Those guys pulled together and had me unloaded and the material across the scales in probably 20 minutes. Thanks again!!

The team here is very helpful, honest and fair. They greeted me in the parking lot with a cold bottle of water. That means a lot on a hot Houston day.

Generally consistent experience of getting more $ than I was expecting. People are friendly and they are significantly faster than most places, so I definitely recommend giving them a shot to sell your scrap.

I went to sell some scrap wire today at Astro City. oh man, great customer service. Those guys were so nice. Thanks, Mr. Don, for my goody bag for first-time customer. I will be back.

Pulled up and they immediately started unloading my truck for me and offered me cold water. Scale is in view so you can see the weights for yourself. After looking around the Houston area I found this yard to be the best paying for copper around. Great service, friendly people, will be back again!

I had a great experience, from the moment we arrived, the customer service stood out — they offered us water and made sure we were comfortable. The staff was incredibly helpful and guided us through the entire process, answering all our questions with patience and professionalism. On top of that, the prices they pay are very competitive — much better than other places we’ve checked. It’s clear they value their customers and strive to make the experience as smooth as possible. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell copper or other metals.

The entire staff is there to serve you and provide exceptional service. Marco, Sergio, and Don make you feel like family. If you need an example of what customer service should be stop by and experience it for yourself. Thank you to the entire staff, y’all provided fast courtesy and hassle free experience (it’s the small things that leave lasting impressions).

Exceptional service and best prices around! The team was fast, friendly, and clearly experienced. They met us right outside our vehicle with dollies ready and offered cold water bottles — which was a thoughtful touch on a hot day. Hardworking and genuinely kind guys. Excellent service all around, and the prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend!

I called around for prices and then found Astro on the Google. They have a website with up to date pricing! Awesome thing to have as I haven’t found anyone that does this. They had the highest price for copper by a lot compared to 3 other places I called. Staff was super friendly. They unloaded my truck and they put it on the scale. Prob 4 different guys offered me a bottle of water for the whole maybe 6 minutes I waited. Highly recommend and will be going back when I round up more wire.

As a woman, I usually feel very uncomfortable going to places like this by myself. My husband wasn’t able to go with me this time, however they made me feel very Welcome and comfortable. When I pulled in the parking lot there was a man that told me where to park and as soon as I parked, he walked up to me and brought me a cold, bottled water and asked if it was my first time. I said yes, and he then began to explain the process to me. It is extremely well ran, very efficient and they’re very honest. I did not feel uncomfortable whatsoever during my visit. We will be going there from now on.

Very clean. Everyone very courteous. As soon as u got there a person came out with bottled water. Marcos and his crew did not allow me to do anything. Will definitely be back even though it is on the opposite side of town from where I live. Even gave me a gift as it was my first time there. Thank you

Great fast service with friendly gentleman. Couple guys came straight to our car as we pulled up ready to help unload, brought us cold water and was very honest with weighing our material. This is the first place me and my husband have been to that we've had the best experience and with honest people. If it's far just know its worth the drive cause we live 40min away and I'm so glad we made the drive.

First Time and I have to save very quick fast and easy 🫡✅ Everyone was super kind 💙 Handed out waters to the workers and myself 🙏 on this very hot day in houston . Loved the Gift very nice Will defiantly be back

I had an amazing experience! Their service is really great. Upon arrival, they immediately acknowledged us and offered help right away. Since it was hot outside, we were even given water bottles while we waited. The service was incredibly fast, and every staff member was super nice and friendly. The prices are also really good! As it was our first time, we were surprised with a gift bag containing a notepad, pen, sticky notes, and a multi-use tool—such a thoughtful touch! Definitely a 10/10 experience. I highly recommend!

I've been giving away money going to a different place,this place here pays top dollar for your scrap wire. They welcome you with a water and first time being there you get athank you gift plus top oay.

This place if DEFINITELY worth it,there were so nice and they even gave us a goodie bag for first time customers the price we exchanged them was amaizing, plus free waters. If i could i would give this place more stars

Astro City is amazing. 1st impressions, best scrap yard I've ever been to. Workers greeted me and offered us a bottle of water. Helped me unload my scrap wire onto their carts and they did the rest. Everyone was very respectful and polite. Moral was very high with all of the workers. My Apprentice told me about this place and this is where I will be coming to from now on. Very impressed with the gift bag they give you when its your 1st time there. Thank you for all that y'all do.

This was my first time coming here. I usually go by where I live near Victoria. This place did not disappoint. They helped offload everything from my vehicle, offered me bottle water and gave me a pretty cool first time customer gift. It was definitely worth the drive as I would have made only about half or a quarter of what I was paid by my old scrap place I used to go to. I highly recommend and I will definitely be back as a repeat customer. Special shout out to I can’t remember his name ,but he had my favorite team on his hard hat…….. 🖐🏼⭐️🤚🏼 How bout dem Cowboyz

I went to Astro city scrap metal for the first time today and they were awesome! I pulled right up, one of the employees greeted me with cold water and they unloaded my scrap. They even gave me a few goods for being a first time customer. I will definitely be coming back!

Astro City gave me top dollar. I called three other large scrap yards, and Astro City beat them by 40 cents a pound. They even unloaded my truck and sorted out the metals. Top notch service.

I recycled 50 brass backflow preventers. Staff were friendly and efficient. Accurate scales. The overall experience and amount paid was worth the drive in from Spring.

The staff at Astro City Scrap Metal are very professional and helpful, the cashier Sergio gives time to each of the customers. The guys from the moment you arrive help you to park and likewise to leave. They receive you a warm smile and a bottle of water. That’s Good Customer Service. Thank you 👍🏻 For the little notebook

Friendliest scrap yard I been to! My first time there, offered me water and gave me a nice little welcome gift! Ive never recieved costumer service like I did from here today, recommending my friends and family to them too. 💯🤙🏼🙏🏼

The reviews are true: these guys are SO nice! Great experience, polite and kind employees. If you are like me, and this is not a typical errand for you, believe me this is THE place. Easy. Fast. Good vibes. And surprisingly nice $$$ 😝
