Scrap tin was supposedly at $198 per ton. I took an 1100 pound load of clean tin to the yard and received half the going amount. Wasnt worth the trip or getting it loaded. Call ahead and check the payout. read more

I find assorted metals wire and computer parts in dumpsters in the COS area and I find quite a bit of it, it's amazing how much these companies throw away and don't recycle. I think they could give me a little bit more for my Ewaste but they do take just about everything so it all averages out. They are pretty friendly but interrogate me a little if I bring in a lot of Ewaste and I don't keep track of what business dumpster I found the Ewaste in. I can see why they do this because there is a lot of copper theft in the springs but for honest people that are just trying to make ends meet it can be a little insulting to be treated as if you stole the Ewaste or metals you're bringing in. read more

I have been a loyal customer of Western scrap for over 20 years and have scraped probably 10 tons per year however I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN! Over the last couple years they have Miss categorized lots of my scrap to pay me less than they should and treated me less than expectable. I overlooked all this because they paid more than others. However after my last trip I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM AGAIN!!! I had a small load that was mixed with item's I wanted to scrap and others I wanted to keep. Long story short some of my keep items came out with the scrap. When I attempted to retrieve said item's I was called a lier and told I could not keep "have" them because the yard guy didn't physically see me throw them out. It is aperantly company policy that even if it's your own personal property, you cannot pick it up off the ground unless the yard guy sees you remove it from your vehicle! My total load paid $42.00. total scrap value of my personal items they refused to let me keep was approx 20 cents. Retail value to replace said items about $50.00. So in the end I literally lost 8 dollars not counting my time and fuel. In closing it has come to my attention (after speaking with the owner) about the time I noticed poor encounters with Western scrap was the same time as the American iron buy out! On top of that I received a nice email from the owner Shame where she once again miss categorized my personal demeanor! read more

I went to this place twice and will not go back. Upon entering, I was told that I could not drive my car on the lot with my teenage daughter in it even though she was never going to exit the vehicle, and they would not let my vehicle enter unless I wore a mask while driving, along with all occupants (BTW the masks are supposed to be necessary only if you CANNOT maintain 6 feet). I had to turn around and leave my wife and daughter outside the gate in an industrial area in 90 degree weather before they would let me in. The same thing happened to the vehicle ahead of me. I was yelled at twice by employees for getting too close to them, despite the fact that I was wearing a mask and was at least four feet away. I only moved closer to the workers because I could not hear them. After being yelled at by the payment desk for approaching the desk, I received $8 for 450lbs of metal including an aluminum engine & a trampoline frame, and other random steel; they classified it all as crude iron. I understand the seriousness of COVID, but this business is putting rules over common sense and doesn't care at all about customer service. read more
