Great help and people was able to off load some metal chair. I had to remove the fabric but whatever helps

If it was possible to give no stars I would I got offered 15 dollars for a valuable catalytic converter I refused and went to Oroville and got 120 dollars for it don't waste your time going there it's a joke read more

I went here to do some recycling with my friend. First time, new to the place. As we started filling recycle bins the owner comes up screaming the F word several times, grabs the bin from my hand and throws it back into the pile! No talking, just F this and F that! I suffer from PTSD and Agoraphobia. It took me several days to get enough nerve to leave my home to do this. Now, I will just have someone else do recycling for me. I will never go back! To the owner, I hope you read this. You are completely inconsiderate of other people around you! You're not the only one having a bad day! read more

yelled at my 12 yo son because she thought he was "recording their operation." Then lectured us about leaving the lids on, which is preferred at our previous center. Aweful. Literally driving 40 mins to avoid them. read more

Don't even waste your time on going here they will straight hose you. I brought in about 10pounds of stripped copper wiring and literally only got 7$ for it. Don't go here unless you don't care what they are paying you. read more

Wow! Can't believe Fair Street Recycling closed and this pathetic excuse is all Chico has left to meet our recycling needs. Tweaker central, no organization, total chaos. Currently looking out of town to meet my recycling needs. read more

Love Chico Scrap Metal. Get you in and out so you can get on with your day and best prices in town for metal and recyclables. Its a shame the Move The Junkyard wastes their time with fake bad reviews. read more

I have known the Scott family,who own the place for 60+ years,and they have always treated the public with respect.I would go to know one else. read more

Pros: - Friendly employees - Well staffed - Easy in/out - Not out-of-business Cons: - Dirty - Scale weight visibility It's very easy to get into Chico Scrap Metal if you're driving west on E. 20th St. The yard is small but there are about 5 parking spots for those recycling their aluminum/glass/plastic. 2 to 3 guys work at the CRV recycling area and they will immediately ask you what you have to recycle when you arrive and then bring you the appropriate containers for you to sort into. I appreciate that the employees leave you alone while you sort your items! When your recyclables are ready to be weighed the employees do all of the work. The wooden cabinet that houses the scale weight display is faced perpendicular to the area that you stand while your recyclables are being weighed thus making it hard to see. I will say that the man doing the weighing did call out the weights and point out my totals as he wrote them down. Prices are posted. After your recyclables are weighed it's a short walk to the office to cash in your slip. The ladies in the office are very friendly and efficient. Leaving is even easier than entering as you are practically on E. 20th St. when leaving the parking spots. I'd complain about the low price that they pay on aluminum but the little I know about scrap recycling tells me that price is based on a market and is not arbitrary. With Chico's dwindling choices for CRV recycling I'm glad that Chico Scrap Metal is around and I will continue to do business with them in the future. read more

Great for scrap. Even better for recycling. The prices are good and the workers hustle so you aren't there all day like some other places

This is the worst place to take anything. They are disbonest as they come. They ripped me off by recording a number smaller than the actual weight of my aluminum. I cant believe the dishonesty. If you want a fair deal you are better off going somewhere honest who wont steal. read more

Just got back this morning from there. Had 2 car axles and 2 brake drums made out of steel to turn in for cash. A hispanic guy read the scale I could see 55 light up over his shoulders. He marked it down as 55 Ill/aluminum and when I got to the window I received $2.75 for my metal. I guess I should look harder at the tag print next time. If you come in the summer make sure your T-shirt reads Democrat in Spanish so they know your not a Republican otherwise your sh*t out of luck. Best advise is to sell it outright if you can get a good buyer. read more
