I drove here for the first time to turn in my old catalytic converter, the place getting to is along the railroad tracks that lead into the port of Long Beach so it's very heavily driven by big rigs so beware of that, these trucks seem to be going so fast so it can be very dangerous in this area with the traffic from the trucks.
Seems this recycling place was busy with several people having brought in tubs or big bags of cans (soda and beer cans) trying to cash in for them.
The guy mentioned offering me from $10 to $20 for my catalytic converter after he looked over it, I thought I probably could have gotten more for it like around $50 and probably could have.
I mentioned "how about $20" to the guy, he walked to the back with the converter for a couple minutes then came back out up to me saying they can only offer $15.
Since I didn't want to go driving around looking for some other place that takes catalytic converters since I called a few recycling companies that said that they don't take catalytic converters, I thought that I didn't care to go further looking around, so I took the $15 instead.
Although, I do believe that I got ripped off a bit on the exchange at this place that presents itself as price matching which I don't believe is true. read more
