I can’t believe I ever went anywhere else in Northern Virginia. This is a real scrapyard. Very easy process for steel with the drive on scale and large drop area, Super friendly, knowledgeable and generous staff at the non-ferrous scales, and competitive prices. Definitely a place where you can walk away feeling like you got a fair deal.
Stopped by to recycle some brass ammo shells. Service was fast and efficient, staff was professional, and the price they offered was great. I’ll definitely return in the future. Thanks!
I am a big fan of Potomac Metals. As a casual customer, I'll never get rich selling scrap metals, but it's nice to get some pocket change in return for a recyclable. They were buying copper for $2.80 a pound, aluminum for $0.45 a pound, and steel for $0.05 a pound.
My first time going to this scrap yard cleaning out a storage unit locally. Was greeting by Mario he and everyone else was awesome. Mario was knowledgeable and patient. Special shout out to Mario thank you again!
I was immediately greeted by Mario J. He was incredibly helpful, polite, and made sure I drove to the correct spot to unload. Mario unload a large metal filing cabinet out of my car for me. This is a great facility and even better staff!
They pay you for your discarded metal by weight. They efficiently weigh your stuff on a huge scale and pay in cash on the spot. Take Virginia ID. No need to pick the plastic parts out. And they are even nice.
It was my first time going and it was a good experience. The person i talk to over the phone was able to give me a good rate for my audio and visual cable and i got paid well for what i had. They have the best rates in the area.
Great customer service! I was recycling 70 lbs of copper gutters from my home remodel. I called and the employee was very helpful and explained how the recylcing process worked and what the rate was (best $$$ I found in the the area). I showed up, weighed my vehicle, they unloaded metal and I quickly received my cash and was on my way! Great experience! I will be back!
If your not Spanish watch out the amigos trying to get over on you with the tare weight on their carts. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT USE THEIR. CARTS TO WEIGH OUT YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!! Just an fyi my Americans
This place is super efficient in getting you in and out. It my brother’s go to place for selling all scrap metal. They are open on Saturday’s until 1pm which is really convenient.
Who would think recycling scrap metal could such a pleasant experience. The staff was helpful and friendly and the process though a bit involved was relatively easy and efficient. Although I spent more time than it probably was worth for the small amount of money I got I would certainly do it again. Next time I'll try to bring more copper.
My first time there, it was very prompt service. Just get your metal weighed in. Next they give you a ticket and you scan it and voila $$$$$. No id, but I think they take your tags.
