Warning: Dishonest business practices.
I went in thinking this was a trustworthy metal recycling place, but learned the hard way that looks can be deceiving. They act friendly while shortchanging you right in front of your face. Smiles and small talk don’t mean much when they’re ripping people off. If you’re not paying close attention, you’ll walk out with way less than you’re owed. Don’t be fooled — check your weights and prices before and after. I won’t be back.
Rather than send scrap to the landfill I keep it and take it here to sell every so often. These folks are really good, even for small amounts. Very helpful and friendly.
Lady in the office was nice, but employee handling the scrap is horribly impolite. Pulled in, he was unloading, then midway of unloading he stops and leaves half the load in the truck. If you don’t want to unload that’s fine, but let me know before you start, not midway through.
Very smooth transaction, just drive loaded truck onto the scale to get a before weight. Drive off scale near front end loader and put your scrap in the front end loader bucket. Drive back over scale to get after weight. Then, go to the window on the south side of building and get paid. I could not be happier with system or the employees working there.
They're always fair with me, and even assist and unloading when I have a lot that I can't handle on my own. Great bunch of folks.. They have a new drive over scale that makes unloading so much easier.
Of the other places I have gone to scrap my metals this is the place I recommend going to to get the most bang for you buck. Staff is friendly, respectful and clean. I'm a contractor and collect what's left behind by other trades and the items I swap out as a source of passive income and this business has continued to show my efforts to collect are paying off.
The website and signs say this place is open until 6:00pm. It took us 45 minutes to get there, and we arrived at approx 5:20pm...just to be told that they were closed! That is just wrong...there was still 40 minutes until closing time! It takes an hour and a half to get there and back home, plus lots of gas! After we were told they were closed we called the office (5:27pm) and asked the man who answered what time they closed, and told him that we were in the parking lot with a load ready to unload. He said "well today"...then he hesitated and said, "well go ahead and pull in". The employees were not very friendly or helpful at all. We feel like they just blew us off because it's Friday, and they just didn't feel like messing with us. So...we decided to hell with them since we weren't good enough to do business with and/or just didn't want to mess with us, and we found another place on 1314 that was open until 6:30. We arrived there at 6:00pm, and everyone was super friendly. They were also very helpful because they helped us out with a flat tire we had on our trailer...and that's something I seriously doubt anyone would've done at Transformers Metal Recycling.
I showed up Saturday afternoon and was waiting to drop off a load of metal, after the 2 trucks ahead of me were unloaded the man said we're closed. It was 3:40. When I questioned him about their hours being until 4PM, he got an attitude. News Flash, if you don't want to work until 4PM, then change your damn hours. I drove a couple miles up the road to another scrap yard that was open until 6PM.
These guys are wonderful. They give excellent service with a smile and give an Honest Fair Market Value For all recyclable metal's. thanks transformers .
Do not go here. They are crooks . I take the same metal same weight same everything. They did less than 1/4 if the price of others because they felt they could. I was told one thing when I got here but after hours of unloading they screwed me after and said I can load off back on my truck. I hate places like this.
This place is a joke. I use to come and buy material from them then one day Luis said we "left a mess" and couldnt come back. Dude your whole place is a mess! There is scrap everywhere! Really?? We make it a point to respect others space and put everything back where it went. We did just that. So it being a "mess" maybe yall should look to yourselves instead of point the finger at others for your "mess".
One of the best locations to recycle, guys know what they're doing and are very helpful unloading, once I went I forgot I had bags of cans and the guy pointed it out to me before I forgot, they even unloaded them out of my truck which was fine for me, I stay pretty far away from new caney but if I have precious metals such as aluminum brass stainless and even batteries, I always save it and take the trip there, the amount of money is worth it compared to alot of other yards!
Started going here a couple weeks ago it's a great scrap yard scales are accurate and people are friendly I go to scrap aluminum from my jobs multiple times a week by far best place I found so far... top dollar prices and fast
We started to visit this place nearly Monthly to discard all items needing recycling mainly because of the professionalism, quick and friendly service we receive.
The staff is always with a positive and welcoming attitude that distinguishes them from all others in the recycling business we have encountered.
Way to go!
