Reviews of American Iron & Metal Co (Scrap Yards)

Virjohn Ortiz

This place was referred to me by a good friend. We both do recycling and goes to this place to trade in our bottles and cans. The people here are very friendly.

I've been collecting bottles and cans for buyback for years now. Once I discovered AIM, I swore I'd never go to another buyback center again. Fast and honest workers, and I know I'm getting fair prices for all my glass, plastic and aluminum. They even take metals like copper for great prices and the workers are very knowledgeable on what's what. I recently found out they take car batteries and appliances like refrigerators. Basically AIM is the only place I trust anymore. Too many bad experiences at their competitors. At AIM, I know I'm a valued customer and I feel welcome every time I stop by. Easily a 5 star buyback center.

I read the other reviews which were good, but I got down there at 2:30pm Saturday and they were closed, the posted hours were to 3:00pm that day. They should change the hours of closing to when they stop accepting items right?? Nuff said common sence!!!

After RePlanet closed at Safeway Pinole, there really aren't any convenient recycling centers servicing the Pinole/Richmond/El Cerrito neighborhoods. I'm so happy to discover American Iron & Metals or AIM! So how this place works -you places cans in one or more trash bins (provided), bottles in another, load the bins on a hand cart (provided), and head on over to the scale! They even have a vehicle scale if you're hauling a truck load of scrap metal! You just drive your vehicle up on it, no need to unload it-amazing!!! Also, they're conveniently open on Saturdays, they let you leave caps on the bottles, and they work very quickly -what more could you ask for? Well, me personally, I'd ask for a trash can. That's one thing this place is missing. They ask you to take your trash with you, bummer! And maybe some hand sanitizer, yeah, that would be great! But otherwise, this place is easily 5-stars! A lot of people are frustrated because they've been inconvenienced by this place, I know I have too, but it's not the company's fault business hours are listed incorrectly on Yelp, it's actually Yelp's fault! I have corrections currently pending, I hope it gets updated!

While recycling centers are often "crooked" and dishonest in providing accurate weights and sound professionalism, AIM recycling maintains acceptable service, all while providing customers with concern and morality. Despite misnomers of inaccurate weights and corruption, the system in which AIM runs their buyback center is flowing and authentic. Regardless of the unsorted materials making their way to the front of the line causing the process to stall, the weight masters are quick and manage their jobs well. Just in case there are some doubts regarding accuracy, AIM furthermore allows customers to freely view their accessible scale and commuter system. So any confusion concerning deception can easily be addressed.

Though this review is biased as I am an employee at AIM, I felt the need to let the public know that we will treat you right here. Here at AIM, we are family owned and operated. We are certified by the state of California to operate our Recycling Center and frequently have visits from the weights and measures division to insure our scales are accurate. Everything is in view for customers to see that they are getting the right weight and price for their hard earned material. We take a variety of material such as ferrous, non-ferrous, and CRV materials. Though often times there are rules or laws that prohibit us from paying for certain materials right away such as copper or brass, we make sure that once the holding period is up, the customer is paid promptly. Come to AIM if you want honest hardworkers who treat you right.

Broke my back to get here at 4:12 and they were closed despite having hours posted stating they closed at 4:30. Please live up to your hours (or change them) to gain my trust and change my mind. Very upset at being fibbed to...
