In Seattle Hill, WA, customers of Seattle Iron & Metals Corporation report largely positive experiences with some notable frustrations. Overall score: 75/100. Staff professionalism and friendliness earn frequent praise, and many cite competitive payouts. Yet recurring complaints mention long waits and uneven queue handling, occasional underpayment/price mismatches, mixed yard organization/signage (clean for some, chaotic for others), and spotty communication on hours. Little is said about inventory variety or parts, so ease of finding parts is unclear. For scrapping, pricing and service stand out, tempered by wait times.
Pulled up and the guy in the back told me $2.20 per pound (copper).
Signed a pink sheet that said $2.20 per pound (copper).
Got a check and receipt that says $2.10 per pound (copper).
First and last time for me. Double check your receipts .
The only scrapyard i even go to anymore if given a choice! Will go out of my way to scrap here rather than go to more local yards! They dont make you feel like a criminal for scrapping your metal like they do elsewhereand theyll give you the best money for what you got! Always a good experience going to seattle iron
My first experience with this fine establishment has left a bitter taste in my mouth. After checking in for a delivery i was instructed to park outside the gate a forklift would be out shortly. Lets say a 15 minute delivery took an 1 hour and 15 minutes. Way to go guys your rite up there with Seaport steel in Seattle.
If youre unfamiliar with this place, buckle up. Hopefully a couple guys there help you out because the lack of clear signage and chaotic surroundings will make your head spin. Beware the guy running the raw steel dropoff, very poor attitude and little to no communication ability.
It was fast friendly and easy access employees are super cool but you want to get there before two o'clock otherwise you will be in line and hit traffic on the way back.go hawks
Seattle Iron and Metal is the tops. They keep their exchange rate at the high end to be competitive with other recyclers. The staff at SIM , are courtious and well informed. The yard crews at SIM work hard and are dedicate to keeping a clean and safe environment.
Not sure why this place isn’t getting great reviews. I went today for the first time and was met with the heavy bustle of industrial activity, I explained my situation to an attendee and he walked me through the entire process, from going on the scale, to where to unload my scrap metal, and to weigh out and finally where to get payment. He was very patient and answered all of my questions without seeming the slightest bit annoyed. I’m sure they’re used to scrap haulers that know the process like the back of their hand, so they probably aren’t intrusive. For a newbie like me, I found them to be very helpful folks, if you have a question just ask.
I dropped off about 1140lbs of iron and aluminum and got paid $40 for it. I honestly was just happy to be rid of the scrap that was occupying my shop. The money paid for my gas and lunch, so that was a plus. I’ll definitely be coming back here if I need to in the future.
If you like waiting come here. It doesn't matter when you show up, if someone comes after you with an easier load they get to go first.... doesn't make much sense. There is always at least 3 guys standing around doing nothing. It's a joke, do yourself a favor and go to tacoma or something
I am working on a very small art project, right now. And this place looks like it "doesn't do art!" But it does.
After I told them what I wanted to do, Rick and Paul helped me find what I needed. If I had listened to them from the get go, I would have been in and out in 90 seconds. But they let me take my time and I went with their suggestions, anyways.
Fantastic experience. I recommend Seattle Iron & Metals to anyone who appreciates good customer service mixed with solid product knowledge.
