Rude. Very dirty. Machines ALWAYS breaking down apparently. You’re supposed to go there to RECYCLE, but yet they don’t take scrap metal. They said they’re not accepting for the reason of the machine breaking down. I’ve gone more than four times and they send me away everytime. Richardo is really rude and lazy. UPDATE they finally fixed the machine
This place is unorganized allows people to cut in line, low prices, the workers are so lazy to even get anything off the vehicles use the crane machine to grab the metal to unload vehicles and risk damaging peoples vehicles. Poor service!!!! GO ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HERE.
ATTENCION: GERENTE QUE FUMA, CERO TRANSPARENCIA, NUESTRO NEGOCIO NO FUE VALORADO ¡Si esperas un SERVICIO RESPETUOSO (o incluso un ambiente SIN HUMO), quizás quieras buscar en otro lugar!
ATTENTION: RUDE MANAGER THAT SMOKES, ZERO TRANSPARENCY, OUR BUSINESS WAS NOT VALUED If you expect RESPECTFUL SERVICE (or even a SMOKE FREE environment), you may want to look elsewhere!
I have sold copper here several times without trouble and always looked forward to doing business with them, but my visit today in the morning was a huge let down and DISAPPOINTMENT.
We brought copper #1 and #2, a staff member has kindly helped us to sort it in the past and inform us. This time they dumbed it together and we when pointed it out the MANAGER CRUZ? (They refused to give me their name) stepped out his cold office and abruptly told us they “DO NOT DO FAVORS” and that we should already know the difference, but if we were WRONG, they’d just dump everything together as #2. Strangely, they had no trouble sorting out the aluminum.
While my dad tried to separate the pieces on site, the MANAGER ORDERED us to “TAKE IT HOME AND SORT IT THERE,” then lit a CIGARETTE and started SMOKING right in front of us!! To make matters WORSE, they refuse to let us see the scale readout, so there’s ZERO TRANSPARENCY about how much your material weighs.
The DISSMISSIVE ATTITUDE and lack of BASIC COURTESY and RESPECT from the MANAGER made it clear our business WAS NOT VALUED.
They have good prices but the front workers are so rude and lazy they even make sighs as if your a problem and thats their job nobody put them there so why would they complain apart from that when you take copper number one be very carefull not to put copper number 2 in the same bin otherwise thell classify all your copper number 2. Also they weigh your copper and then mediately dump it into their massive bins and after they give you price weight and receipt it's already too late to claim your copper back. These guys work their and if there intentions are to scam you thell be real slick slick
Folks beware.. the scales are out of calibration. I tried to be nice, scale did not have proof of calibration. Took 5 batteries and set one on the scale to verify if it was calibrated their scale said 82 lbs. that’s for an 86 lb battery. So if you figure 4lbs times 5. I’m getting taken for 20 lbs. look at the specs of the battery posted, besides I weighed it myself before taking them. I worked for an instrumentation co for years. We calibrated scaled using dead weight for accuracy. These guys got loud with me and said go somewhere else. I feel sorry for you guys taking aluminum cans to this establishment . You know the last time I went with smaller batteries that weighed 60 lbs I felt their scale was off. This time I checked the weight before I went to them to clarify my suspicions and I was right. All I wanted was to get my moneys worth but these guys were not nice and acted like there is no other place I can take my business and ran me off. And to make things worse they only pay 15 cents per pound and Edinburg scrap for batteries is at 17 cents per lb.
These guys give me $1 for a radiator. As in one dollar. As in uno buck. Not to mention a waste of time going from one window to the next showing id etc. I felt like telling them to keep their money for THEIR trouble. They are also very picky when you sell scrap. Like wires. They make you take em back.
Worst recycling place in the entire Rio Grande Valley... Attendent "Nathan" was very rude and disrespectful. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE THAT APPRECIATES COUSTOMERS WITH SOME CLASS !!!
Lazy people have two or more workers just jibber jabbing making people wait 30 minutes to just get ripped off. 20lbs of cans at .50 cents is 10 dollars. Worker N.C. wrote 12lbs. Didn't dawn on me until I checked what he wrote and was puzzled why I had been given 6 bucks for 20lbs of cans. Watch the scale or check your ticket or go somewhere where they won't ripped you off!
This is a great place to take your home aluminum recycling and make a few dollars while helping to keep trash out of landfills. They are closed for lunch between noon and one pm, but they are super fast and really professional.
No identification is needed for household aluminum and they will pay out in cash money. They also accept other metals but you will need to show identification and register with them as a vendor. For metals like copper your first transaction will require a valid identification card and you will be paid by company check only.
Call and dont wann give prices over the phone drove decided to sell at a price and got paid at another apparently the guy weighting it decidecs the category your material is overval good ig
Grateful to have a metal recycling center so close to home. Unfortunately, there have been many explosions and at least one fire at this location in the past 2 years. I don't understand why it has been an ongoing issue, but they should have learned by now how to safely crush and recycle vehicles.
