Binford Metals in
Kent (WA)

At first I really didn't know how to feel but I've since been there a few times and they are really honest fair people and I'd go there before anywhere else they are góod people there and make you feel welcome one time one of the workers even grabbed a battery from off the side to give us a jump kinda cool if you ask me

This place is legit!! I actually come here to get my tires repaired and they do great work. The Hispanic men are so kind and helpful.

Honestly best way for me to make money is by using Bedford to the full scope of their ability.. Copper aluminum, steal, clear/dirty and if I'm being honest they're the reason I'm able to make my rent most months... as an individual who has to work two jobs just to put food on the table for himself the extra money I make from just picking up stuff that I honestly be thrown away at work regardless really made a difference in my life

Prices are not good weight is way off rip off if you are recycling precious metals or even steel

I been comin to this scrapyard long before it was binford and have always been treated good. Have never brought it anything stolen in the 15 years i been comin here. Yet today got turned away because of some copper that i got from a friend that was not stolen period. Yet today was treated like i was some thief when i have a cleaner record then anyone there i guarantee that. Definately wont be returning there from now on.

Only metal!! Someone very st:: upid from Buckley recycling told me this facility takes everything, but no. Also no mention anywhere about them taking only metal. Waste of your time basically

There tthe best in the industry have been for quite sometime there management is incredibly like there workers thanks binford for ur services

The best place in the world to sell your scrap to... In the world i said!!! Amazing customer service I've been coming here for yearz with a Z at the end. YEARZzzz The staff here wonderful people. It stays consistent. Prices can't be beat and there can be none better than this!! what they have is and can provide hands down the best you'll get. U will love it

They pay hardly anything for scrap steel, and with the long waits, it doesn't make sense to use this place. Better to pay to dump it at a local transfer station and save your time.

They hauled away an old car for me and their driver was exceptional. The entire experience from calling to schedule, the pickup, to completion was easy. Would recommend.

Thank you Binford!! While they're currently operating on a DIY parts extraction policy, they were very patient and generous as I figured it out for the first time on my own. They loaned me tools and gave advice, even making rounds through the lot and checking on folks. I will absolutely come back for future replacements. Pro tip: bring water out to your car part site for hydration especially on hot sunny days.

This was my first time here I was lost and confused as to where I should go, Jason from the non Ferris metal shop was such a delightful guy, great humor and an assist to the company. Everyone I ran in too or spoke with was helpful and friendly. I would drive miles just to do business here. Good show guys. Thank u

They have really improved the place since I was last there only thing is the process of who goes to where are confusing when it's just a line of cars out in the street and waiting to pull in. Once the gentleman came and helped everyone go to the correct place things were fast and great prices for scrap metal compared to the place over by my house it's definitely worth the trip for me

Owner is a terrible awful racist man, today I made it to the yard with my husband. Unfortunately we had to take the city bus and arrived with only about 20 minutes to spare before closing. I was here looking for a rotor for my 99 Acura TL wasn't sure what the interchangeable vehicle parts were. Right at closing we found an 03 MDX that I spoke with one gentleman and said that we will be back in the morning at opening to pay for that part. This lot has us bring our own tools, they don't do inventory of the parts that are left on their vehicles. While leaving, I saw a vehicle that might just so match my vehicle, so I looked inside to see what the model was while doing that the owner ran up on us tried to rip my husband's tool bag off of his back. The owner then stated, "what's in the bag, boy?!" Then about 20 employees tried to jump my husband and I. We are paying customers, we did nothing wrong. We have nothing with usbut the tools we brought. They discriminated against us because we are walking and my husband is black. Such a terrible way to treat paying customers that are here looking for needed parts. He did not treat any of the white or Hispanic customers this way. PERFECT! I as well have the incident recorded as well as reported it the Better Business Bureau. If the story is is fabricated, post the video then. Let the public react to the situation. I am not worried one bit, and your "witnesses" know your were in the wrong. You discriminated against us thinking we were something we aren't. Humble yourself. POST THE VIDEO!

The guy that helped me & my dad with a big haul of aluminum cans was super cool, definitely knows his job there and was quite charming! It felt great knowing that all those cans aren't ending up in a landfill and my dad got enough for a full tank of gas lol This is a great place to go for all your needs that Bindford can meet - check out their website or give em a call with any questions! Very convenient location too

I just wanted to say Garrett and Matt are great employees! They were very helpful kind and courteous to me today! Thank you for taking the initiative today! You both deserve a raise. Thank you Teresa C

work in the service sector of housing complexes, repairing household appliances, and often collect non-ferrous metals, copper, bronze, brass, and more. I always bring it to this collection point. Very nice people work here, they will always help you unload, they will clearly show you what to unload where and they will serve you quickly. I also really like their collection, which is located at the non-ferrous metal reception house. Respect and Respect. Thank you for your work.

This is not a great business. It is accurate when they say that it is family owned, but don't let that fool you into thinking the owners are people you would want to know because they are not good people. I'll just leave it at that. As for the employees themselves, its pretty much 50/50 at best, meaning 1/2 the time you'll encounter average attitudes, and average quality customer service. The other 1/2 of the time you'll be met with disrespect, and extremely unprofessional attitudes. You can be sure that you will be treated like you are some kind of criminal pretty much from the second you enter the place until you drive away. I really could continue to go on and on about the various reasons why you should absolutely do yourself a favor and avoid this place, i could go into detail about how i have come to know what i know about binford metals, during the 9 years i was an active business client but i would prefer not to spend any more of my time writing a review about binford metals then i have to. If you take a look around you will see that there are other recycling places nearby and i recommend you at least try one or two others out at least once, because you may realize that you'll be much happier bringing your business to any one of them. Valley Recycling is a fantastic place to go, and i have heard Calbag is also a great choice. Binford Metals however is neither fantastic, nor a great choice.

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.

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!!

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!

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.

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 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!

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!
