Don't use this place! Main scale is way off and falsely certified. I brought 1900lbs of steel and they said it was only 400lbs. At $8 per 100lbs thats a lot of money I've been cheated out of.
Total rip off don't bring aluminum cans there I had 14 bags that fill up my long wheel base truck they never weight them they go by baskets . So if you have crush cans your getting screwed . Take your cans else where
We showed up to scrap with a full trailer at 4:43. The gates were already closed. I asked the guy what time they close he said 4:45. So I looked up the time and show him 5pm. He got the lady from inside, by this time it was just turning 4:50. She told me they close at 4:50. I again reiterate that online says 5. She said she didn't have time to change it. Well maybe she can use the extra 17 minutes that she closes early and change the time on the website so customers aren't inconvenienced having to be turned away with the load full of scrap. Laziness really irritates me. Management should do something about this. Especially if they are still clocked in until 5pm. Soaking up company money and sending away customers. Thanks for nothing
Been going here for a while and today of all days one of the employees threatened to hit my truck with me and my kid in it and the owner stood there with a smirk on her face and said nothing and then she had the nerve to tell someone how to act. Not once did she address her employee for what he said. The whole situation was very unprofessional and it could’ve been handle better. All the commotion could’ve been avoided if the employee was addressed for the comment made to my husband. I feel threatened and unsafe for me and my daughter and my husband. We will not be back and I don’t recommend going because they don’t care about how they treat their customers.
I've being going there for years,but i begun to notice little difference on weight since i bring the same every two months.,so started to weight it at home first time i was cheated five pounds on clean plain alummium cans,second time seven pounds and i just went today i weighted my cans at home again they were 60 pounds.,but guess what?.,they only payed me for 48 pounds,they were dry,no humidity but still is a big chunk they take,i'm gonna go one more time and video record my aluminum before and after and i'll keep you posted.
We used this scrap yard because it was the closest Livingston. They are very impatient and rude.
Recently we took some weight there. Weight! As in I literally helped my boyfriend load a busted up dirt bike and a couple of other things. Our readout was 160 pounds. My boyfriend is very nonconfrontational so I took the receipt and money inside and explained that the dirt bike alone was well over 200 pounds close to 300 so how did we have a while truck load that weighed less than I do. Lol the guy looked on the computer and got our empty weight again... somehow the accidentally made about a 700 pound mistake? Now they did make it right, but I wonder how many people, that don't really know the scrap world, have not questioned it. I mean most would say that $60 didn't make much difference, but for people that do scrap honestly for a living it's a huge amount of money.
We tried out J&L which is a further dive and I was pleased with the way they ran their yard. It's organized and the people there are patient and friendly.
My best advice for USA would be to be more accurate and efficient and patient. And possibly find something for that lady to do that doesn't involve her interacting with humans.
Good place to bring scrap with a fair price and security to keep criminals that stole copper and such from brining it here. I will use this place again. Operator in the yard good too gentle with my trailer unloading.
Disorganized entry, drop off & exit. We went there because the location in Point Blank was closed. Tried to go back again during the period when the point blank location was closed. Website said they were open until 5:00pm. My husband got there before noon, and they had randomly decided to close. I called thinking maybe there was a mistake. The lady said that they decided to close early & put a sign on the gate. Not very helpful when you’ve wasted gas driving 40 miles round trip trying to recycle.
Usually great service and great pricing. But when you say online that you close at 1pm and the gates are closed at 1250 that is not right. You need to keep the gates open until the time you say you close at online or change the time online.
At first place was paying good then went south I understand prices change and I'm ok with that but it shouldn't matter if aluminium cans are burnt or not it's still aluminum not breakage
.I go to usa recycling because they are prompt and curtious in their service and fair on most of the metals that they buy... Plus I love to see the owners smile. ;) I would recommend usa recycle .
Sold them a car in 2015 and just got a letter the other day that it had been impound in onalaska off 350 north and the guy on the phone won't tell me how it got out of there yard that they crush the cars right away
