What clients say about Smith Iron & Metal Co Inc in Richmond Heights (VA)
Watch your stuff! I don't know how many times I've seen discrepancies between posted weights on the scale and what receipt shows. I just got a tared weight of 5 lbs for an aluminum coil sitting on the scale!!!! What a racket
Would liked to have higher prices. Everything was great. They do everything for you unloading all your stuff. Everyone is very helpful from beginning to the in. Thanks
This is a long awaited review and the reason I’ve never been back., I loved passing by every scrapyard because of the service.you could get out of your vehicle and assist with laying it on the scale or point out to the workers what needs to go but My last visit was back 2020 during corona and I haven’t went back since…. During that visit I went outside to unload the steel got back in line to unload my copper brass aluminum and when I stepped out of my truck the guy yells at me to get back in the truck as if this was a traffic stop., but it was smith iron and metals. I had my mask on in fact I had two on.but instead of saying we prefer you stay inside for both of our safety he yelled out again, I got my ticket my cash and drove off into the early morning sun
They responded to my 5 star quick. The service was good. Easy pull up location , hit the scales and take your Ferrous Steel and Iron(Fe) to the yard, second trip take your Aluminium(Al) and third trip they unloaded the copper(Cu) in the left turnoff after the scale. First time having to take the (Al) to the yard. They sometimes unloaded at the (Cu) turnoff. 1$ lotto ticket with payout when I went. We are not lucky enough to win.
If you are a tanker from Oakley and you're trying to get loaded please pull into the right. With your hazards on. Stop at the scale. This will allow the scale Master to take your weight. Then continue around the building very slowly with your hazards on and you will see a awning on your left. That is the scale house he will have your empty ticket. Repeat this process to get your loaded weight
I oicked up a load here, and this place is so organized, clean and friendly. Honestly i just love looking at all the machinery doing there things.. this place is pretty cool
Easy to recycle for some extra cash. Depending on what you have, keep it sorted and it is an easy process. Metal steel, aluminum, different kinds of wire.
Just want thank the kind man, that help my 70 year old mother in law and I fix her car today that had broke down in front of the building in the heat , we really appreciate your kindness , god bless
I bring my scrap from my construction and destruction jobs. They have been pretty cool. But the intake guys have been a lil cranky last few times. Also doctoring the scales. The last three weights have been exactly the same. That's not cool
I went the other day and had 130 lbs of copper and it was for 3$. I also got 12 pounds of special carbide inserts. the guys were speaking spanish so I couldnt understand but they ripped us off because i calculated the price and i was supposed to get 394$ but only got 280$
I’ve been here a few times, the first time it’s a little confusing about where to go, but the staff are very friendly and helpful. You must have a valid I. D. to sell your scrape metal here, so don’t forget that. It’s quick and easy. They weigh your stuff, give you a ticket, then you take your ticket to a machine, scan it and the machine pays you cash on the spot. They also give everyone a free scratch off ticket as well.
Great place to unload your scrap! The guy that is doing all the directing is smart as hell and honest. He’s knows all the grades of metals. I thought I had just plain steel but he tested with magnets all over and told me “no you have stainless steel” he explained the difference and I made more on that load. Also advice to my fellow scrappers just because we think we have #1 grade of a metal doesn’t mean it will be graded at that. I learned my lesson with cooper. But you’ll always win in the end with Smith’s!!
Got a quote for carbide price from a different company which was fair but expected a well known company like Smith to beat the competitors price easily! Boy was I wrong. Definitely got the lowest end of market value! I know carbide is not the most common scrap metal but maybe more research on the
product would help give a fairer price. Other than, the system of operations there is well organized and runs smooth. I will be calling around more before coming here first based off of reputation.
First time selling scrap metal and heard the get weighed and get paid ad on the radio so tried them out. Great group of guys… guy at scale made sure I knew where I was going and guy that weighed my stuff was really nice. Even got a lotto ticket . Super easy experience!! Thanks !
Great guys to work with. Our scout troop takes a lot of metal in and they are always easy to work with. Thanks. Update. Went by today and Daniel is a pain. As long as he is on the scales I will go somewhere else. Don’t let him weigh you you will get screwed
When I called for prices, Andrew told me he would beat or match competitor's prices. He kept his word. It was less than a dollar difference, but every penny counts when Social Security is your only income. Definitely a good experience!!
Like another review I was going to be just a few minutes past closing after driving an hour down to scrap some metal from my yard. I was in a panic but a gentleman I spoke to on the phone after I missed the exit said to just keep heading there. They were lifesavers today, thank you so much! Will definitely be coming back in the future!! The service was polite, quick, and the employees were all super friendly. Seriously cannot thank you guys enough!!
The guys here are great, I like this Scrap Metal Place a little more than some of the others. The employees are nice and willing to help unload. Also I had a truckload (that i really couldn't unload for the next day) there was more traffic than I expected, I called to make sure that my couple minutes late wouldn't mean a wasted trip. The guy who answered the phone was nice and let me know that although they couldn't keep the computers on too long after closing time that the 3-5 minutes I was late didn't mean I would be turned away. They were a lifesaver! Other Scrap Yard have closed the gates up to 15 minutes before closing time, And I'm very grateful that open until 5 here doesn't mean you have to be cashed out by 5.
Thank You Guys at Smith Metal for being so great!
I took a washer/dryer to Smith Iron and Metal - it was very easy and they paid me cash and gave me a free lottery ticket. The facility was very nice and all of the staff were nice and professional. This DEFINITELY beats taking the W/D to the dump!
Oh my lanta, I have found scrap heaven!!!! My husband always ends up with a lot of scrap metal as he owns his own company. Smith Iron & Metal is by far the best paying scrap yard we have been to! I love their attention to detail as they carefully separate the different metals. They definitely make sure you get the most bang for your buck!
Smith Iron and Metal was a pleasure to work with! We were cleaning out an office with a lot of old metal desks and filing cabinets. They dropped off the dumpster, picked it up, and prepared a fair and reasonable return for our scrap! The entire process was fast and easy, which is exactly what we needed! I've also used them on a drive thru basis. They unloaded my scrap, weighed it and paid me on the spot. Once again, the process was fast and easy and they provided a fair price!
