Horrible experience.
I pulled in and had no idea what to do.
I got 13 dollars for aluminum cans that I had to weigh inside my truck on a scale.
It didn't seem right. I had a lot of cans that I have spent a year personally crushing.
It probably cost half of that in gas to drive there and back.
The only recycled scrap yard I will take my services too. Five years with The same Great service and great value for your recycled metals . The only ♻️ place with the same staff for over 5 years definitely the best scrap yard in Austin I highly recommend coming here.
I took my truck to a CAT certified scales, to compare my weight to there scale (ABS) and I’m very content with my weight at the scrap yard. I’ll continue taking my scrap to them..$$$$$$$$$
This place is a rip-off went today with clean aluminum I called in they told me $0.70 a pound got My ticket they gave me $0.50 a pound and was acting like I was lying and that my stuff wasn't clean very poor service
The place is rigged a'f y'all better be careful and weight yourself before coming here.
Took a 14 ft trailer with a bunch of heavy metals and they game $200, mean while they gave my brother in law $350 for smaller trailer and less metal.
Like this spot but notice i weight the same every time i come here.
Could of left a message on your answering machine mentioning you was not going to be open the day after 4 th of July since you never answer your phone drove 45 minutes and not open??
They refused to weigh my cans on the small, more accurate scale and would only weigh them on the truck scale (only accurate to 20 lbs). This rounds against you on both sides.
I preweighed my copper before I came to scrap it and it weighed 70lbs, I get here and they keep saying the scale says 55 pounds. Their scales are shitty and they will steal your money if you don’t catch them
Weights may be need to be calibrated as they appear to be off. Came here a few days ago in the same truck and suddenly it’s 300-400 lbs more heavier than last few times I was here not sure why. Also metal is as payed at $7.00 per 100 lbs this time as oppose to the $9.00 per 100lbs at the beginning of the week. Seemed a bit shady definitely going to be checking out other spots in the area.
DO NOT GO HERE. Pulled in nobody came out to direct anything. Everything left to guess work. Then once in unloading area again no direction. After a few minutes of asking if anyone works there I left. Will not be back.
at all America they are paying $0.60 per pound, aluminum dirty, I called them and they said $0.16, but when I left the aluminum I asked again and they said the price went down but they actually didn't pay me $0.16 for something they are paying $0.60. I will never come back here again.
And finally, if this is company policy, you're kidding me, the loader guy is too stupid to follow you and see if there's even a screw stuck in the aluminum. Nowhere have I seen that, because of a tiny piece of mortar stuck in the aluminum. frame he wouldn't let me remove it, much less being able to use the blower to remove the dust from inside the trailer.
I dropped some tin today may 18, 2023 and then went to small scale where they tried to give breakage price for my dirty aluminum. Then when I got home upon further investigation of my ticket they didn't pay me for my Tim I dropped straight ripped me off . Im tired of these metal yards constantly trying to take advantage of us hard working scrappers trying to get by. The prices are low as it is, then we have to deal with constant attempts to cheat us out of our pay for metal brought in.
This place was a great place to do business until today. They suddenly decided they are no longer accepting "dirty" sheet metal. No explanation except "the owner said so". Was told if we didn't like the price of 9 cents a pound we could go to American Recycling. Mr. Owner why don't you put a notice on the gate of what you are accepting and what you are not accepting. Maybe then you would not have customers take their metal someplace else, especially with the rude staff that you have. Times are tough but that doesn't mean because you have a line out the gate that you can turn away GOOD CUSTOMERS that have been using you for years. Do that two many times and you can end up like Worth Metal. Never again. There are other recycling companies closer to home. CUSTOMERS READ THIS BEFORE YOU DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY.
Below is the post i made a few days ago about ABS Recycling. Well today, I pull into ABS (like almost every day....), only to be told i cannot sell my stuff there anymore. And all they could tell me was "that's what the owner said - I don't know why...." That's messed up! I've never done anything "wrong" that I'm aware of!
I like going to ABS recycling because they pay more, and they're always friendly. And they're also fast at getting you in and out.
I love that you can see the weight on the scale. They always have plenty of people working there which makes it go super fast. Their prices are really competitive too.
Do not sell your metal at this place. They don't care about the customer and pay the lowest amount for your metal. I ask for help to unload a large item from my trailer and was told that the excavator was out of fuel. Talk to the owner but seem not to care. The owner told me that if I had a bad attitude not to come to his business. After that I understand way that place is not busy on. Saturday. Stay away!!!!!!
Iv been doing business with ABS for about 3months now possibly a bit longer and I wish I had started coming here years ago I could have saved myself a lot of time as this place will have you in and out in no time at all compared to other yards that are nearby that most times will have you waiting well over an hour to get paid and out.. not here and as far as pricing they pay very well compared to neighboring scrapyards and better than scrapyards in town the crew is always willing to help if your time is valuable to you this is where you need to be doing business hands down they run circles around other yards in terms of getting you in and out.
This is the second and last time I come to this yard, while at the same time taking my load back into my trailer and truck. This happened today. The only reason I stopped by here was because CD Metal Recycling was closed. The owner was not there also. I literally took all my stuff back to my trailer and left because the staff allowed someone behind me to cut in front of me all because they had a pallet load of copper. I stood there waiting for 45 minutes until I finally got tired of watching the selfish individual unload his box of copper, which he bragged about having the whole time he was in line. It was upsetting and unethical and unprofessional of the staff.
The woman who was on the clock there was very snobby to me and didn't even give me the time of day. She said I had to wait because "the guy behind me has over 100 pounds of copper and it was important for them to get it before weighing the yellow brass bucket that I brought in with me. About 5 minutes later is when I became fed up with the situation. I didn't even say goodbye.
Go to CD!
I first went to American on 812. After 10 minutes of fast talk, backsliding film flam I got out of there. Like a bad carney bazaar experience. I went east a few blocks to ABS . What a difference. Straight organized business. And fast courteous service. And the lot is so much neater. At American there's huge potholes and debris and crowded traffic, you're lucky if you don't get a flat. Maybe American would treat a man better but unless you think you can beat the 3-card Monty shuffle just go to ABS and be happy.
