As a long time customer of M&A, I felt someone should answer Steve K's absurd review rather than let it cast a shadow on the reputation of this excellent scrap yard!
M&A is both family owned and run. In my experience, (as well as that of the rest of the customers who, by the way, keep coming back time after time), the entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and take pride in doing a good job. The scales are accurate and the digital readouts are in full view of the customer. Prices are clearly posted, so there is no "secret" surrounding the value of what you bring in. They accommodate small loads from your personal shed cleanout, all the way up to giant truckloads of corporate equipment. It speaks well of M&A that many NJ corporations have chosen them as their "preferred vendor", to handle their recycling needs on an ongoing basis.
M&A was built in the old style of what made America strong, and by bringing those values to the recycling business, helps to keep her that way.
Specifically to the point of Steve K's converters.-
More than once I have personally overheard transactions concerning catalytic converters at M&A, and know that Mr. K's allegations are simply untrue. Perhaps the pellets had already been removed from his converters, in which case they would indeed be worth very little. Just last weekend M&A's owner took the time to explain to a customer, who was looking to sell a bunch of truck catalytic converters, that he would give the man a deposit and send the converter contents out to be professionally assayed. Based on the accurate independent results of the report, he would then be able to make an offer that was fair to both of them.
Hardly the actions of someone looking to run a scam... don't you think??!!
So Steve, if you want to go over to Klein's and be treated rudely by their exceedingly abrasive staff, and be rushed in and out in a whirlwind, and not see the scale readings on your material, then by all means...knock yourself out.
The rest of us will happily keep doing business with M&A!!!
