This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
In Gillette, WY, Pacific Recycling draws mixed feedback. Several reviewers praise friendly, helpful staff and smooth drop‑offs, but many complain about below-average payouts (e.g., light iron called tin, low per‑ton rates) and a rude experience at the scale that sours visits. Service feels courteous for some yet inconsistent overall. Little data on inventory variety, yard organization, part-finding, or wait times. Verdict: 50/100—okay for convenient recycling, but price-sensitive sellers may be disappointed by compensation and front-desk professionalism.
What clients say about Pacific Recycling in Gillette (WY)
They pay a 1/3 to 1/2 less than the national average. So, update, my kids save cans for extra money, brought in 90lb of cans, were told that being there was maybe a ball of aluminum foil per bag, they gave them 78 lbs of tin and 12 lbs of aluminum and got $5. Thanks for screwing kids over!
I feel like maybe they arent giving the exact price for scrap metal! The National Average everywhere is up 200%. $60 for a ton of scrap seems a little low! All in all Nice people & very helpful.
They call light iron tin so they can pay you $35 a ton when they should pay at least the national average of $100 a ton. They are robbing people. It cost me more in fuel to scrap a 20' trailer full of light iron that they call tin then I was paid at $35 a ton. It's cheaper to just dig a pit and bury it. Plus I don't want to keep letting them get a 200%-300% profit off of people being stupid.
The lady who should greet you and assist you at the scales is rude, unprofessional, talks to you like your either stupid or a child!! Absolutely not impressed!!! She shouldn't greet anyone EVER!! However, the guy who helped us unload was friendly, explained the process and helped us unload. Very sad that my first impression was so bad that it out weighs everything else... she can't even be bothered to explain to you what you're getting paid for!!! Horrible horrible!!!
