What clients say about Gerdau Metals Recycling - Charlottesville in Charlottesville (VA)

  Recycle your metal, don’t put the nasty stuff in the landfill! You will get paid a teeny bit but it’s the right thing to do! Very nice crew, one awesome guy nearly held our hand cause we were so turned around. They changed the system since we were there 10 yrs ago. Hot hot work and I appreciate the guys helping us rookies. If u have steel u have to go left and get on scale and unload in a special place. If you have copper or aluminum you have to turn right and stop and wait for a different set up. I missed the stop and we had a car loaded w all 3 so it was complicated! Ring around the metal rosy. But it’s all interesting.

  Always good service in a friendly environment usually there's a small waiting line but that's just due to their good business and their hospitality I would recommend going there to anybody they do good work and fair prices junk scrap metal the whole shebang

  I waited over 20 minutes to drop off aluminum cans only to be told you were not accepting cans at this time. There was NO SIGN or any indication that this was the case! I adamantly told the supervisor that a sign should be posted at the entrance to the road so others do NOT have this experience!

  Easily the worst people I have ever dealt with!!! Intentionally mixing materials when weighing and categorizing materials COMPLETELY wrong. Aggressive for absolutely no reason as well.

  It's a great place and the people are kind and helpful. It is not clear where to go, or how things work.

  I went to cash in aluminum cans this week, website said they were paying .45 a pound. I always bring in totally clean cans crushed flat. The guys gave a nickel a pound more last time because my cans are clean. They said they were going to give another nickel this time but when I went to cash out I got .35. Very odd considering the price was .45 on the web. Even if it has dropped this is a rip off because .35 plus .5 plus .5 is not .35, these guys are bait and switch artist's and will cheat you because they are the only game in town.

  This is not a scrap metal dealer they do not sell anything to the public, nor do they allow business to business sales.
