I started doing some scrap metal for some extra cash took there and was helped in more ways then one been a few times now and the people are great always willing to help and answer any questions and the prices seem good to me..I will continue to go back there.
I moved here in 2017 from Arkansas, and went around to every scrap yard within a 50 mile radius. A couple of the yards had better pricing, but they would make up for it by giving me a scrap steel price on a fairly large piece of brass that had a very tiny steel nut and bolt that was seized up, or giving me a #2 copper price on a barrel full of bare bright copper wire because there was one small piece of burnt wire mixed in with it. At Wise recycling, Scott actually takes the time to educate me during those instances that I could get a better price on a load if I broke it down and separated it, as well as informing me when the effort to do so really isn’t worth the trouble due to the price difference. The guys on the yard are always helpful, and always wearing a smile. The environment there is such that I feel right at home every time I haul a load to them. I will only ever do business with Jessie and his guys at Wise Recycling in Culpeper, for as long I live here in Virginia. Thank you, Wise Recycling for always making our business dealings easy and profitable.
We always use Wise. They are always helpful and are willing to tell you how you can more money for what you take to them. Mr. Wise himself came up to me and told me I can back a trailer better then most men he has seen. They are very respectful and polite. I highly recommend them.
Can't find better people and they are little lower then other scrap yards but you don't have to unload anything the staff are very helpful and friendly
Giving 2 stars because they were close to our job site. We brought a load of aluminum and was told $.20 a pound and that was the best rate in the area. Immediately called Culpeper recycling and found out they pay $.30 a pound. Dishonest people. I called back to pick up my materials or collect the difference in price and the owner was very rude and said the deal is done go somewhere else. Moral here "go to Culpeper recycling" dont deal with these dishonest people
Poor customer service, lower than average rates, and incompetent yard workers. Do yourself a favor, choose one of the other recycling centers in the area.
Don’t trust them to safely unload your vehicle. I understand that sometimes mistakes happen, but setting 3000# on a pickup truck tailgate, completely crushing it, is not the mistake of a competent professional. I received $200 for the scrap and incurred several times that in damage to my truck, not to mention the lost time and headaches of having to get it repaired. I would have been better off hauling the scrap to the dump. The response from Wise is that their sign at the entrance to the yard exempts them from all liability, including setting a ton and a half on a portion of a vehicle that is not designed to carry weight. I guess I should be glad they didn’t decide to set it on my roof. I will take my business to Potomac Metals, Prince William Metal Recycling, or Woodbridge Metal Recycling. They pay just as much for scrap and have employees that have been trained to properly unload materials.
One of the cleanest scrap yards I have ever set foot in. Family owned, local business with very helpful staff and quality pricing. I am always treated fairly here.
