My first time there, very helpful and good prices. As long as their prices stay competitive they will be my go to scrap yard from now on.

All of the guys who weigh my aluminum cans are courteous and helpful ....The young lady who pays me is also courteous and helpful. .....They give me the option of being paid by check or cash .......The cash option is great because I don't have to wait for a check to clear ......There is no reason for me to go to any other recycling company. ......Recycling scrap metal is a win-win activity because it helps the environment, creates jobs, and I get paid for doing it!

Took my mom to recycle pop and beer bottles she collected over many years. Alex - name listed on receipt plus another man - very helpful and insightful. This was my first time. Will definitely take mom back as she got more cans to recycle. Thanks for helping me and my mom.

I really like this place. ALTERS PAYS MORE for ALL kinds and types of scrap metal and E scrap then all other places in the metro to before. Great staff, simple set up and easy to do. Whenever i do scrap metal, i always go to Alters now. I have referred everybody i know straight to Alters and everyone who has gone there has later told me I was right and thanks for the referral. I like this place. Good job Alters staff. See you next time I come in.

Was a good place to take your scrap metal but seriously the black guy don't know how to do his job or just plain lazy.... Didn't want to sort out my scrap metal and just put all of my scrap metal as aluminum breakage at 5 cent a pound....!?!?! Never going back there from now on.... Going to Metro Metals recycling from now on....

These guys are the biggest con artists out there. I asked for a price on my cadillac converter and they ripped me off for about $200 and said they can't give it back to me. They take the cheapest price they can find then ship it out to someone that knows what their doing and collect your money. You shouldn't be taking these items for recyclei f your not able to evaluate the price. I'm contacting the better business bureau this is straight up robbery. You should be shut down for these type of business transactions.

very friendly and knowledgeable staff who are patient with new scrappers. they also made sure to help me figure out how to sort my stuff to maximize the amount of money i would receive for my efforts. they also helped me to figure out what was a complete waste of my time vs what was smart to process and break down further. these people are #1 in the business as far as im concerned and they are also located in a very convenient spot for me because its right off highway 52 and concord so if im scrapping anywhere in saint paul or the surrounding suburbs its not even a choice as to where to cash in at!!!!

Fair price for seperated metals

No saturns? Not even the 2008 Vue model we towed down, which are the same body as Chevrolet Equinox and Buick and gmc models....don’t get it? North Star liked it

Excellent

I'd give a 5-star but the cashier in the main office was just rude and needs a REAL attitude check. First timers like me don't know what's going on or what the process is like. Everyone else I met at this site was more helpful and welcoming than the cashier. Hope she sees better days because today was not it.

I've heard nothing but good things even your reviews are awesome. I'm super new to this recycling thing and I could really use some advice on aluminum cans I have a ton of them do you accept cans at your location? If so how much are you paying per pound ? Please if I'm completely in the wrong place I would really truly appreciate any help to point me in the right direction I really need to get a good price per pound fast... long story short I was played for a fool and used so now I'm left with 3 different debts that I want to get delt with immediately thank you guys very much for any advice you have about aluminum cans and also any leads for great prices and places to take them if yall don't accept cans that is Have a wonderful morning everyone and stay warm.
