Scammers avoid! Stole my money over an honest mistake! The lady by the scale is the absolute most heartless power abusing lady I have ever met in my life! Accused me of scamming them over an honest mistake no one had ever corrected. AVOID AVOID AVOID. I drove across town because I thought they were still as good as they were nope! I can tell business there has slowed down and I see why. They prey on people who have no choice luckily for me its just a hobby! That being said no one likes a scammer and this place definitely is a scam. Best prices my left foot! Then had the nerve to redo my ticket as im trying to cash out. That's super sketchy! That's like someone chasing you out of a store because they charged the wrong price and accuse you of stealing because of it. Dont go here! To add the icing to the cake when I was wheeling over the cans in their bins this lady literally watched me struggle all the way to her and then rudely demanded I turn it around for her! I'm really shocked they have someone so utterly heartless and foul dealing with the public! Seriously I bet she could stare at an animal or plant and it would die! Soulless being no empathy and thats why its not reciprocated. You reao what you sow. I didn't get an attitude until she did. Take your ive got something to prove self somewhere thats not a public business. I dont know who or what hurt you bit dont take it out on the rest of the world! Took my stuff back saying it wasn't what I said it was to keep it and profit of it themselves! The lady at the scale is a scammer! She will tell you lies right to your face so they can underpay you! Thats the only reason this company is still up is this scam they've got....
Read moreI called to ask about pricing. The guys were patient but the pricing was very low - most of the prices were in the area of $.10/pound. They claimed their horrendously low prices were because of the cost of removing paint from the metals but, even for the bare metal their prices were way below current market value. For comparison, I called National Salvage, who offered $.095/lb. Unfortunately, when I first called. National Salvage and asked about the price for computer steel, the lady there gave me the price for steel cans ($.40/lb) instead, causing me to waste my time going there.
Neither one takes e-waste (capacitors, circuit boards, etc.). Given the market prices stated online, neither is offering a fair price, but National Salvage is marginally worse. Go here.
If you're scrapping PCs, you'll definitely want to break apart the metals (extruded aluminum, sheet aluminium, steel, iron, copper, etc) to get a fair price, or you will get about the same price as for sheet iron/steel. Minimum weight is 5 lbs.
They were mostly nice and helpful here. They have bins, carts and hoppers, and a small area...
Read moreI have been going to West Allis Salvage since I was a youngster and I have always received top pay for all of my junk! Reasonably I started walking and driving the streets of West Allis and Milwaukee and boy are there the cans just laying around up and down the streets for the pickings I have been making twenty to fifty dollars a week weather permitting just in cans! I know West Allis Salvage has always been much closer than the other scrap dealing mostly in Milwaukee and pay basically the same price without having to drive miles when there just six blocks away from my home! The workers have always been more than friendly and helpful except for just one who has a very bad attitude when questioning or asking about scrap when I bring my things to the scale! Hopefully some day she gets something to be happy about instead of being grumpy to loyal customers! Update she actually got friendly today after seeing me dumpster diving this week maybe Cindy I believe is going to be nice to me...
