Reviews of EMR Southern Recycling - Gulfport (Scrap Yards)

Doesnt Madder

They've got good prices, the people there are always friendly & helpful, even though they bust their butts in the heat & have to deal with a LOT of dumb people every day. I go through here at least a twice a week, sometimes more, & they always work as quickly as they possibly can (People, don't bring 2,000 aluminum cans loose in your trunk, please!!!) to get people in & out of the warehouse & in the back of the yard. Everybody I have interacted with in my hundreds of trips there has been helpful & polite & on top of their jobs. If you are expecting to get rich, try the casinos or the lottery. This is a scrap yard. They are a business, not a charity, & they have to turn a profit just like the rest. They aren't handing out "the easy life" any more than anywhere else is. They aren't going to give you gold prices for torn up, old trash or stuff that has been used & removed from an old building. Have realistic expectations.

Would be nice if the company would post a sign or advertise the fact that they close for lunch and for how long. Also the drive back there is VERY rough, I would not recommend bringing your grocery getter.

SLOW. SLOW. SLOW. UNBELIEVABLE yes they pay the most and they don't care about the seller there attitude is you'll wait I will take the two dollar lost Next time

Good place to go to sell a battery or two for beer money but if you have a lot of material that’s actually worth something go somewhere else. I had 3800 lb of copper coils that they wanted me to unload by myself outside of the building and after I said I would just go somewhere else they said they would “ send some Mexican to unload”. It took literally two and a half hours to get unloaded with me doing most of the work. The employees are extremely rude and lazy with the exception of the lady in the office. Definitely go somewhere else!!!

I had the opportunity to sell a vehicle to EMR a few weeks ago and the customer service was excellent. Being new to the process, the clerk took time to explain the do's and don'ts that were required of me to sell my car. I was directed to a certain location within the scrap yard and there was a guy waiting per the clerks instructions to unload me. The process was less than 10 minutes max to complete before I was heading back to the scales. I have to give the facility hire marks because my son was riding with me and got out of the vehicle for the initial weighing. The clerk attention to detail was evident when she reminded my son to exit the vehicle for final weighing. I was then sent to the cashier that took all my information and paid me an unexpected amount for my old car. I will tell all I come in contact of the quality of service I received!

The men were very nice and helpful. It was my first time and they explained every step.

Always being by recycling here. They don't give a lot but is worth it to help the environment. I love this place.

Michael Shroades

If it's not steel take it elsewhere.....hauled several loads... On three seperate loads the same material ranged from $.38 to $1.19.... Felt totally ripped off!!!! I will say they have better steel prices than most....but other than that not ver impressed and I do this all over the country....OH I NEARLY FORGOT THEY WANTED 50% TO OFFER ROLLOFF SERVICE....THATS UNHEARD OF!!!!

Good people

I'm not sure why any of these people are complaining, but truth be told I frequent this yard and everytime I'm there everyone is beyond helpful. Both of the wonderful ladies at the windows, Miss. Casey and Miss. Becky are absolutely amazing, always have wonderful conversation and answer my questions with some nasty ass attitude like most other yards I've visited in the past, as well as the gentlemen in the back who always ask if I need help and are kind in explaining when I unload. Out of all the states I've lived in in the last 10 years, this has to be my favorite yard hands down. Deffinetly reccomend it to any and everyone.

When you don't have enough money and you can sell something that someone else thrown away dead at least get you some gas

Robert Hood

Go there alot,best advice I can give, 1. Call beforehand to check on prices. 2. Know what you have before you go. 3. Have it separated before you go. They are very busy usually and just like any other job. It's all about the turnaround.

This was our first visit to this business. My husband pulled in where the warehouse is. He was told to pull around back. We were bringing to old batteries to be recycled. My husband pulled to the back and pulled over to put the batteries to where they could be reached. A guy came out fussing " You don't stop back here you pull in" His gestured he had an attitude. We proceed inside of the warehouse. The guy kept fussing and showing us where to pull in. There was a large basked in the middle of the driveway. He starts hollering "Don't hit my basket" I was about to go off on this man. My husband gets out and says Man if I hit your basket I will buy you a new one. The guy says "Yeah Right" This guy has been at it to long and is clearly miserable in his job. I have worked piss poor jobs and still treated people with respect. I'm sure he has to deal with lots of people that give him a hard time, but us being the first time there he needs to have some patients.

Debbie Rushing

I think the last at window is very nice and respectful

Vickie Morgan

These people who are complaining should go to Harrisburg. I love these people who are just doing there job. They must not know what they are doing. Go to McDonald's and get a job. Casey runs the scale, and is most respect full to me.

jamie allen

Some people are nice some others not so much make sure if you have steel or aluminum make sure you seperate it lesson learned on that and call about prices cause it goes by weight.

Liz Crowley

Everyone I met was friendly and helpful. Considering it wasn't built on a parking lot you may not want to bring a vehicle with steering or ball joint issues, or as one person said, the "grocery getter". It's a place that deals with rough material and should be expected to be rough on a vehicle. Overall, I am happy with my business with Southern Scrap.

Tony Ortiz

Horrible service. Slow and rude.

Crystal Kilchrist

This place sets the scales. And if you brinv short iron they only give it as shred iron. Rude. And they take and add weight as it pleazes them. Do tbey actually think it raises their paychecks to still from the poor to make tbe owners richer.

John Wandell

It says to describe your experience. Only problem is, they don't answer the phone.tried calling them several times but no answer...

Devin Berden

The woman at the weight station window is completely out of her mind. She talks to people with no respect and acts like she owns the place. Not to mention the 45 minuet wait just to get rid of one wheel. Terrible place to go for anything. DON'T GO TO THIS BUSINESS!!!!

Anthony Seymour

This place is so ridiculous. I have been waiting in like to drop aluminum off for an hour!! Finally to the door and I see why it's taking so long to unload CANS! from the guy in front of me. All the workers are VERY SLOW!! And stand around chatting alot.... I will most definitely not be coming here anymore!!!

Mr Nonyabusness

Great to get money, but the lady behind the scale doesn't respect customers, and does speak condescending to customers. If there was another yard, I'd definitely go there just to be treated right

Christi Boyd

Always friendly and professional very quick service.

john Walston

The lady who works the scale is very rude. Not friendly at all. Does not know how to treat customers. I would recommend going elsewhere. Talks back to people like they are stupid. I recommend southern scrap remove her from the weigh station window.

Kim Duong

Turned in some aluminum cans and was expecting sub-par service cause of the other reviews but was surprised. Other than the small font signs directing where to go, everything else was quick and easy.
