Parkland Metals in
Spanaway (WA)

Those trying to flea, Blame tha fuelz that move you, They do what THEY do. ????

They do not open at 9am.

It's a small mom and pop place. They are not a big yard so people should be fair. The owner and his wife are nice. The place is small so sometimes you have to wait but that's not because they are not working. When I go to Recycling Resources on Canyon they always treat me like a criminal. I hate it there. I like Parkland, I always sort my stuff, I unload and help move my stuff off the scale. I get what I give I guess, I've never had a problem here, I like them.

If I could give no stars I would!! DO NOT TAKE YOUR METALS HERE!! I took a truck load of very heavy metals and the guy pulled some stuff off to the side saying that it was separate because of the type of metal it was. I had a dumpster FULL. The lady handed me five dollars which I thought was for the separate metals they put to the side. Then the guy dumped my dumper full of metal into their bigger dumpster and I asked so how much for that. he responded “the lady told him not to weigh it that it wasn’t even heavy and that she already paid me.” It wasn’t heavy? How do you know if you didn’t weigh it on a scale? My stuff never got weighed and already in their bigger dumpster. I feel so discriminated against as a women and taken advantage from a place that I trusted in for the first time. What a scam you guys are running you should be ashamed of yourselves!

Very nice people...have paid me very well almost every time guess with all the bad reviews they dont like very many people but hey i have a great experience with them every time i go in....its close to my house so very convenient

Short & Sweet ..... not very honest with their payments, at least on this visit. I've been hereonce and won't come back.

guy rips you off. Bins and baskets don't weigh as much as he deducts. Will not go there again. We'll drive to the port.

Went there a few day's ago. Their really not that bad, I'm from cowlitz county where scrap prices are actually decent. Everywhere up here is outrageousLy low. I mean you get paid 1/3 the price of steal up here. I brought in a couple transmitions ,some shred and a little bit of clean aluminum and got $45. Considering I would have had to drive another 25 minutes one way to reach any other yard I'd say it paid out even with the gas I would have burned anyway

Personally I have never been there but even a quick phone call, when they answer, and a google search will tell you all you need to know. I called 5 times before having someone answer the phone. Average for aluminum cans is between $0.40-$0.50 per pound, they're offering $0.35. I'll be checking prices elsewhere before making my final decision or asking for the low end of average, $0.40.

Was screwed out of my scrap and money too don't even go there

If your a noob with a bunch of metal watch out, don't be afraid to call them out-- otherwise quick convenient and friendly

Took about 85 pounds of #1 copper in and got $130 and no paperwork this place should be closed down and alot of stolen metals are taken here and they steal from people by ripping them off bad

I think the owner is paying under what he says his prices are. Doesn't show you any paper work besides what you sign and no receipt...

Beware!!!!! Worst place ever agreed on price unloaded all the material and then they want to start changing the price almost by half do not go to this establishment whatsoever...

I can tell you they are scam artists. Know I took in more than 2 1/2 tons of metal, they claimed on the sheet less than 750 pounds. 20+ garbage bags of aluminum cans that were put thru a commercial dishwasher, 2 large commerical stainless steel restaurant 3 basin sinks...+ various restaurant table legs and other scrap...$46 total. My trailer and vehicle was packed. Tires on trailer were bottomed out. Never go there again.

If you’re like me and just want to get rid of your old appliances and computers ethically, this place does the job. :) Quick service. Close by. Didn’t get any money for them, but didn’t have to pay any fees for it to be taken in either. Since I originally was just going to toss the items in the trash, I wasn’t expecting any money. Happy to do my part in getting rid of appliances properly at a recycling center!

Place is trash don’t waste your time. Should’ve known better just by the way the place looks. Wait till you see the scale setup, it’s a joke.

This place will take anything ... Bicycles Appliances Lp tanks Ferrous and non ferrous metals The cons are: He flies by the seat of his pants When it comes to paying you I took in 2 identical loads back to back and got 2 different prices And I also seen him pull stuff out of the bin before weighing it ? But he is close and convenient for me so I take small stuff to this place

Polite service, had me in and out . Price were not quite what I was hoping a little lower than the rest.

Competitive and reliable and they always "hold the gate". Thank you parkland metals. They have been a life saver since pur house burned. The only local scrap yard with integrity. End quote.

We came in with 6 tons of scrap metal and he gave us 56 dollars. What. A. Rip. Ok we were like whatever, scrap metal isnt worth much, brought in clean aluminum, a whole trailer, and he claimed it was "dirty" so he paid us 7 cents a pound, instead of 25 cents! RIP OFF DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!

Quick service no hassle but they need to calibrate there scale can,t go wrong with wire

Does not pay as much as most scrap yards but what you are taking there is probably stolen so who are you to complain anyway. Be lucky you got anything for ur dirty deeds and thankful ur not in jail.

BEER MONEY!!! Just sold some scrap and cans here earlier today and everybody was super nice and helpful. I was actually a little worried after reading the earlier review about the basket weights or whatever, but the Asian dude said they just re-measured their bins and even weighed the baskets for my cans in front of me. Only thing is that it was pretty busy when I got there around noon, but the guy with the forklift brought me a bin pretty quickly and helped me with the heavy stuff.

guy at the scale was cool the Asians tried to rip me off though with there bins not weighing what they say

I love this place. The people are super nice there & always take care of you.

good place to go if you have small weight. they have a digital scale to weigh it out for you, even with less than one pound.
