Reviews of 21 Recycling - Junk Recycling (Scrap Yards)

Nice Guy

Very nice people. They are very honest and help me understand what I'm dealing with. The owner James is a very honest and respectful man if you work with him he'll work with you.

I brought in 480 lbs of clean, extruded aluminum and got $96. .20 cents a pound. I was expecting .40 cents. Whenever I questioned the prices, dude told me that I got aluminum gutter prices and walked away. I took my next 2 loads to World Metals and they paid .40 cents. I still have 2 more loads to go too. Maybe 3. 21 won't get them, that's for damn sure. They were very friendly prior to ripping me off $100 tho. Might as well piss on my back and tell me it's raining. Don't go here.

I had some scrap steel, aluminum, and copper bearing motors both high/low grades so i took it to 21 recycling. When you get there they have you pull on a scale but they are the only one that can see the display, so your left hoping they're honest about your weight. They're not, I know this because when it came time to weigh the copper motors. The employee asked if he should weigh the motors separate and was told no. I made them aware the motors are high and low grade that needed to be weighed as such and I was told I misunderstood him that they were talking about the scrap left on the scale from a customer before me, fair enough I said with an apology for the misunderstanding. Everything was weighed out and I was soon to be on my way, or so I thought. After a 20 minute wait I was finally paid and left not thinking to check my receipt until after I was home. When I looked later I saw it, not only did they not weigh the motors separate they paid me a full 2 cent less than other scrap yards are paying. I know doesn't seem like much but when something is .10 a pound and your getting .08 a pound that's 20% less for you. Do yourself a favor go somewhere else with your scrap.

Says it's open on Sunday wen it is not! No one answered any of my calls so it was a huge waste of time and gas. They need to put their REAL hours they are open on the website.

I had some cardboard boxes that I took there to recycle because according to their website they took it. However, when I pulled into the place I was met by an older woman who told me that they did not take cardboard, and that I was a liar when I said that it was on their website.

Very local to me and fair steel scrap prices. Alum and copper and brass prices lower because they only deal in bulk, no real sorting. Very friendly and fast service.

I drove through the gate, a voice guided me through the whole process. I got paid after showing an ID. Couldn't have been any more simple.

Stay away. Stay away. Treated very unfairly. Nothing like getting smiled at while they rob you blind. They got me twice where they just pay you what they feel like instead of what it weighs out to. I’ll never go back.

If someone calls and wants to inquire how much you're paying, you need to be able to give that publicly. If you act irritated by people calling then you shouldn't be in business.

Been here 5 times each time more frustrated than the the last. Not only can you not see the scale weight when weighing your steel/Iron there payout is ALWAYS significantly less than tge current market. Done with this place after I called today to enquire on there current price if copper from elec. Motors and was told $1.45 which was $1.05 less than current market value. Bad business to steal from customers giving you there business. Or outright thievery if you ask my opinion.
