I go drop it off and then go back and he hands me a receipt with 14 dollars and 60 cents. 14$ for 730 lbs of heavy steel is ridiculous. He's robbing people. Each pound of steel he is paying .02 cents. I told the Chinese guy. " 14 dollars? That's it? He says yes that what you get" "I know I have 200$ right there man take you f****g 14$ back and I'll grab my metal and put it back in my car. He tells me no you can't do that you already took the money and have the receipt. I said f*** you robbing people like that and left. I do not recommend this Chinese crook.

They also didn't have my correct street number and didn't say they'd call and punished me for it. Then after we rescheduled, they called me daying they might change it to another morning because it was more convenient FOR THEM. Although they didn't end up changing the day, they came at a time that was too early for my big bldg--a policy I didn't learn about until I went through this process. And they drove by again and gave me the option of the next day for an additional $50. I said fugeddubouddit.

I gave the two men here the benefit of the doubt and didn't want to accuse anyone up until last week when my AirPods pinged in Long Island New York. I spoke to the owner and at first was very respectable but then became very unprofessional. I was reimbursed for the AirPods but had to fight tooth and nail. Also not at the price i bought them at, bought them for $260 and sent a receipt of it and the owner only gave me $216 because that's the current price of AirPods. Basically told I have no proof and that I was making assumptions when me nor my wife have been to New York in months and this company is around the area where my AirPods pinged. All the proof was sent to the owner for my concerns to be called accusations because both the employees denied it (big shocker) all in all it's not about the money or the AirPods it's the fact that this company has two thieves employed and has done nothing but invalidate the facts that my AirPods where on my steps the morning of and I know this for a fact because I put them there and they somehow ended up 10 miles away from this business in Long Island where neither me and my wife have been. Also these men stole while I wasn't home and my wife and new born where. Do not use this company they allow thieves into your homes. If they truly didn't believe that their employee stole they would of never reimbursed. I am highly upset and disappointed and to top it off the owner would not provide me with information to file a police report. DO NOT USE THEM

Yesterday, 8/3/2026, I brought my copper bars to them. Copper market price was approx $6.25. They offered me $3.01 per lb. Also, my receipt show they weighed my 15lbs at 14lbs, which I didn't notice until I got home.. The weight on the bars were clearly marked. I settled on the price, $41.00, because I didn't want to drive around all over Nassau county to find another scrap metal dealer. If you have any thoughts on selling scrap metal to anyone on Long Island, you can make your own mind up from my account of what took place.

One time I brought aluminum siding from a house that I stripped. They weighed me in and after I unloaded they weighed me again. It wasn't until I drove down the street that I realized that they put down the wrong weight of my empty truck. I drove back to talk to them and they said... oh oh we thought you had a passenger in the truck that's why we did that! Hands down the shadiest place that you will ever go to.

EXTREMELY unprofessional operation. Never been there before. Had a bunch of things North…read moreHempstead no longer takes. I'm disabled. They don't do pick-ups which is bad business, but okay. There was nobody to assist in removal, sift through what I had, or even direct what to do. Just one guy who could barely speak English behind the computer scale yelling from a window. I could barely hear him from all the noise of the place. Apparently you're supposed to unload everything yourself, which I physically couldn't do. Had a bit of everything: metal, appliances, electronics, wire, vehicle batteries, etc. Guy said they only take metal, and don't take electronics even though their website states they do. I even saw a bunch of non-metal items like plastic coolers and cloth chairs mixed into some junk piles, so I don't know if he was lying or incompetent. Considering the negative reviews of their other locations, it seems the awful operation is endemic to the company. If I ever need to scrap anything again, I'll be going elsewhere.
