Binford Metals JunkYard in Kent (WA)

Jason was very helpful showed me the difference in metal recommend you come here

Bins full of metals! They were alright but not what I needed. I needed a pay me by the lbs for recycling my non -Ferrous metals.

I had about 700 lb of scrap metal scattered around my yard so after much nagging by my wife I dedicated my day off to clean up the yard and decided to take the metal to this place. The office staff and the guy on the scale were nice but the guys on the yard whom were supposed to help me to unload the truck were just standing there doing nothing, infact, they were kind of laughing about my struggles to take the scrap off my truck. Took me more then 20 minutes by myself. I was not happy. Not a pleasant experience.

Super friendly. Easy to drop off metal for recycling. Your truck gets weighed coming in like the dump, they tell you where to drive (that was a tad confusing, but people directed us). You unload the metal yourself, and leave Ina big loop back to the scales. Super cool piles of everything, giant wrecking machines, welders. You get weighed, and go up to the office and they pay you. FYI you have to have a valid ID with you to get paid.

I finally made the decision to let go of my '03 SAAB, Binford made the process so easy. Called them scheduled a pickup and they were there the next day, also worked around my schedule to minimize impact. Office staff was amazing as well as the tow truck driver. If you're looking for a great company to work with, this'll be the one you should choose. Thanks again for all the great work.

Drove 2.5 hrs on way after calling to confirm part was available. Once I got there staff spent 20 min looking for the car. A mechanic had to inform them car had been sold as a whole and didn't know why it was still in the system.

Crooks. Dropped off 180 lbs of aluminum. Expected a ticket about $90-$125. Was handed a ticket for $20. Was told since there was one nail, that’s the price I get. So I said fine I’ll take my aluminum back, would not give back aluminum. Will never return.

Love coming to this place!!! The forklift driver is pretty Hot if u ask me!!!!

Very rude staff at metals cheating Undervalue the goods you bring in And weight wrong. Young hispanic short dude Avoid that place

Very happy with the way I was treated there. Sean was awesome and every one else was also helpful. I had to fly there from 750 miles away so it wasn't the easiest transaction and process but they made it as simple and easy as possible. I probably communicated with them 10-15 times and they were very helpful and responsive. Love the car. Great price! Highly recommended. Thank you!

Quick and easy to drop off metal and get a fair price. Sometimes the wait can be long if you arrive on a busy day. But the staff have always been very friendly and helpful. Even unloading an engine block for me with a forklift. I've made almost 300 dollars on three scrap trips. Try them out!

Best place and price for your recycled metals. The guy who works the weight station is always nice and has good costumer service. Very well pleased with my experience here and would recommend to all residents and commercial.

I've been to a lot of scrap and recycling yards over my years. I have never seen such a clean, organized, scrap yard. No worries about running over things with your tires. All the personnel were very helpful, and even educated me on different medals. Recommend them highly!!

Okay, so I am a very honest person. Many people pocket small tiny parts. I do not. Many places like Budget will either charge me very little or not at all for some of the small things...like an ash tray. Pick n Pull doesn’t care if I have some small plastic knob. Well...at this place, for only two plastic seat belt bracket covers, and two half inch round trim pieces...they charged me $10!!! Are you kidding me?!? I could have got them off eBay for .99 each with free shipping. Even if it was $5, I’d be okay with that, but $10? Why is it that the honest person like me gets punished by getting gouged for the smallest little things? But, I bet they complain when people steal parts. I wonder why? Nice people for the most part, but not when it comes to price on most things. I’d skip this place unless it’s a last resort. Budget next to them is way better in my experience.

Had 5 trash cans of aluminum cans. Never been here before. I got in line and pulled in. Super helpful dude asked me for my ID and rolled up 2 big trash cans for my cans. It got weighed and I was told to go to the office for payment. When I looked at the total, I thought it was a mistake. It was 3 times what I thought I would get. The last time I recycled cans was 6 years ago. Times have changed! Another employee helped a lady get back into her truck that she accidently locked herself out of. He jumped into the back and popped open the rear sliding window and crawled in. Got to keep the line moving!

Had a tire problem and showed up 10 minutes before closing. Awesome people they went ahead and even though it was raining they swapped tires for me and I was on my way just after they closed. Staying open just to swap a tire real quick even though they didn’t need to and could’ve sent me on my way. That’s customer service! Daniel is that man and needs a raise!! Will definitely be coming back!

Employees are very friendly and comical but also very professional, organized, Quick and efficient. Personally they are one of the best scrap yards I've been to 👍👍

Great customer service! You can recycle all of your metals. They are very informative in helping make sure you get the best price. If something needs to be cut or separated they have always showed me what can be changed to get the most out of Im recycling. I’m totally recommend!

The guy is a professional checking the brass copper And metals I truss him with my metals reciclado

UNPROFESSIONAL! I am disappointed in the lack of expertise of the staff and the unprofessional manner in which Binford Metals dealt with my issues. After locating some rare original fenders for my Monte Carlo LS on the website I had several conversations with the parts manager Mark as to their authenticity, condition and availability. Living 250 miles away, I was continually reassured that I would be happy with my purchase if I made the trip to remove them. Inquiring about the high purchase price I was informed that another set of these exact parts could only be found 1000 miles away and I agreed to it. I repeatedly requested that pictures be sent to me and although promised, I never received any. This past Saturday I made the long drive over to pick up my parts only to locate the car in the yard and see right away that they were not the original fenders and not the parts that were being advertised. I find it both shocking and disappointing that parts professionals would not be able to tell that the parts were wrong or at least take the time to verify them. This is their job! I took one look at them and saw that the time and money I spent traveling over was a waste. When I informed Mark that the parts weren't correct he didn't seem too concerned stating that, "well, the VIN number says they're right." And as a parting gesture he searched my tool bag in case I had stolen something. Thanks a lot. Having been in contact for weeks with Mark, he knew very well that I had traveled, was excited and willing to pay whatever necessary. If he had at least sent the pictures to me I would have been able to tell right away that they were wrong and saved myself the trouble. In light of the situation, I don't think that some remorse or an apology or some sort of gesture would have been too much to ask. The moral of this story is that I am not impressed with Binford Metals.

Their prices on scrap copper were good, but on review of my scrap weight I was very concerned that my "bright and shiny" was loaded into a bin that already had a large amount of bright and shiny in it. I had weighed all of my scrap right before heading in, and my weight total was nearly 50 pounds different from their weight total. I can guarantee, had mentioned a problem with their total weight they wouldn't have just let me pull my scrap from the bin full of scrap bright and shiny they had me dump my scrap into. I will definitely be demanding an empty bin on my next trip.

Binford Metals is paying less than half what other yards are pan caution check your prices before you go to Sanford metals Navy City Metals is playing much better

Awesome for metal recycling. They pay 6.7 cents per pound. No 5 stars because the grounds (roads) inside the place are covered with shredded bits of metal. Surprised I made it out of there without punctured tires. UPDATE: Just went July 2022 and they are now paying 3 cents per pound, less than half od what it was the last time I went. I guess no one needs metal anymore

Some of the best people around always helpful people around to help you along the way . And Jason always puts a smile on my face even if my day hasn't been so good. Always been good experiences when I go here

The most organized and easiest recycling experience for 'scrappers'. I referenced the national scrap metal average price market conditions on my iScrap App, first for a ballpark, then I called and spoke to a Binford customer service representative who provided the scrap metal price per lb. for that day. I arrived with my presorted, rinsed out, dry, empty soup cans, along with a tired metal baking pan and a broken metal paper towel roll, in large plastic bags. The polite handler asked for my WDL, as required by regulation, and stepped into a booth to start my recycling paperwork. The process went smoothly because I had presorted. Meanwhile, another polite handler retrieved my large bags from the trunk of my car and handed them off to another handler to weigh & sort, while I waited only about 45-seconds not counting 10-minutes queued up in line. In contrast, the guy next to my vehicle arrived just before closing, with a heap of mangled rebar, wires and fencing, in the rear of his pick up truck. Imagine sorting through that before quitting time - goodness. Anyway, after my license was handed back, I was directed to drive forward to the recycling office where I showed my i.d., once again to finalize my recycling receipt and receive a cash out for the effort - very nice, Binford folks. Thank you, kindly for a positive and courteous experience.

Always given a fair price for my scrap and treated with the utmost respect. I tow old cars in with my son and he is treated like royalty. He loves Becky and she always has a little treat for him. Thanks guys!

Would give 0 if I could. Rude, condescending - didn’t even look at my the metal I was trying to recycle before telling me they didn’t provide that service... the whole time I’m waiting him & his buddy kept yelling names at me- calling me a tweaker, and laughing. Definitely not a tweaker, and I’m 6’0 185 lbs with clear skin and was driving a more expensive car than he will ever drive anytime soon - hopefully he got fired. (This was a few months ago). But no one I talked to was helpful or answered any of my questions. Tried to do my uncle a favor when he was moving, but apparently since I’m 28 it must be stolen. 🙄 first and last time trying to recycle metal. Apparently there is another place in Tacoma - go there first.
