This place is hands down the best recycling center that Vancouver, Clark County, and surrounding counties have seen. Their team is very professional and respectful. Ive never been waiting long and the pay is always fair. Ive never once had to second guess if Im being payed correctly or treated properly, which is not something I can say about the other places around here and Ive been recycling steel for 20 years.Remember, team work makes the dream work! Separate and clean before you show up and know what will be accepted/rejected. I get in and out faster because I separate all of my materials before entering the yard and check with their website if I have any confusion regarding my materials. Remember, they cannot take propane cylinders without a visible hole in them and to get the best price make sure you take off any steel from your nonferrous so it pays clean! Im glad these guys are here, theyve really set a new standard to follow and raised the bar in regards specifically to hiw an operation like this should be ran. I wouldnt go anywhere else, thanks fellas!
Before this young employee worked here, this place was fair with you, especially if you only have time to seperate your clean and dirty brass as well as clean and dirty copper. Now they penalize your time and give you the less priced dirty brass for all this. Used to recommend this place to everyone in WA that works here and recycles metal.Old employees were great and would have given 4 to 5 stars for their service.If you are like me and do not have time to break down the different materials more than clean vs dirty, then would recommend other recycle centers. Co workers still swear by RL Davis.
Giving this 3 stars cause there are good and bad about this place. Today was my first time there. Had lots of metal from a new building we just put up. I had lots of extra C channel pieces and both wall and roof sheathing probably 20 pieces about half size either width or length wise. A full sheet weight is around 41 lbs. Half should be about 20. The C channel is also fairly heavy per foot. I was guessing I had around 1000 lbs. Cause my trailer empty is 2000 and on a scale before going here was 3100 lbs. When all was done they showed 540 lbs.. about half of what the truck scale showed. And because some of the metal was 16ft long not even sure they weigh it! Also the tin price today was 3 cents a lb. Not sure if that is good price or not today?In the end I will say this,Pros= good location close to home. They are open till 4 pm on Saturday!Cons= not sure about weight accuracy? They do not have a magnet for unloading. You must do all by hand.Result, if your just looking to get rid of metal this place is fine. If your trying to get fair price and and specific on weight there are many others that are better. This again was my first time trying them out. For my work we take wire in regularly to metro and maybe I am just used to how metro does things....
Great people and love the fact that they are open after 4 p.m.
This place is great!! Good prices!!! Great location!!!! Fast service!!!!!! What else could you ask for. Definitely recommend this place!!
So yesterday I took insulated copper and bare bright copper in to EH Recycling and the guy there RIPPED ME OFF HE GAVE ME THE SAME PRICE FOR INSULATED COPPER AT $1.4 A POUND BARE BRIGHT COPPER. FOR 2.4 WHICH BARE BRIGHT IS 99% PURE NOT 89% OR ISNT INSULATED EITHER SO I DONT RECOMMEND GOING HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO ME RIPPED OFF JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW THE PRICES AND ARE NEW TO EH RECYCLING IF YOUR NEW THEYLL RIP YOU OFF AND YOU WONT THINK ANYTHING OF IT UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE PRICES..DO NOT GO HERE ITS A RIP OFF AND THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT BEING RIPPED OFF ON NKCE HONEST PEOPLE THAT NEEDED TO BE TREATED FAIRLY NOT TOOK ADVANTAGE FOR A FEW DOLLARS HE WROTE A CHECK TO HIMSELF TOO HE SHOULD BE LET GO AND SOMEONE WITH MORE HONEST ABILITIES SHOULD BE HIRED THANKS HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS REVIEW THE TAPES TOO YOULL SEE I HAD BARE BRIGHT COPPER 99% PURE AND WAS RIPPED OFF IF THE OWNERS SEES THIS YOU BETTER REFUND ME OR BE CONTACEDT BY MY LAWYER FOR FRAUDULENT CHECKS TO YOUR EMPLOYEES THAT HE MAKES TO HIMSELF CLEARLY ON FILM IF YOU HAVE ANY.....
Watch out for screws and nails where you drive. Great place to scrap your metal.
Best prices for the drive would cost a lot in fuel to go all the way to portland
This place is terrible do not go there especially close to quitting time. I had a 120 pounds of steel and the guy looked in the bin and said its not worth dealing with hell take it for free but hes not paying me. Also if quitting time is 530 they usually break out the Stella Arturo beer at about 5 oclock at least thats what the forklift driver had in his hand while he was driving around their yard full of nails. Save yourself the flat tire the bad attitude and the potential drunk driving incident and go to Portland.
We brought in a cat converter after calling many places in Portland who would not accept it we were glad this place accepted it!! They gave us a great rates and had very fast service.
I called in advance a couple of weeks to get a quote on the price of the metal I was thinking about saving up. I got a quote. I saved up a bunch of wire and when I got there the guy gave me nothing close to what I was expecting. I explained to him what was said to me and he said the person was thinking about something else. I remember being very specific on the phone about what I was going to bring in and he asked me very specific questions. And I even did some research online about the prices after I got home. I got ripped off.
This place is great. Quick service. They will Negotiate price if you really want to.. they take anything and pay the same day.
Incredibly rude and dismissive when I came to turn in cans. He literally gave me 2$…. It wasn’t a ton but at LEAST 10-15$. It felt like my business was an inconvenience to him. Never met a more rude employeeEdit to add, it WAS NOT the amount of $ offered to me that prompted my review. It was the rude, dismissive employee who acted like they wanted nothing to do with my business. Ive never experienced someone who treats customers the way that man treated me.
Great team, could spend hours bullshitttin with em
Dont let the crazy reviews fool you. Good fast convenient service and fair prices. If you dont like the initial price offered be nice and try haggling for more.
Easy to find. Takes anything metal. And depending how fast you can unload your scrap metal you get paid fast. Not a big parking lot so its never really a long wait to get in and out.
This place is great fair price for scrap
So,. I took in 100 lbs of clean aluminum and they gave me $22. I went to cashier and said you guys arent Even paying half of the scarp price, whats up. He said he paid me the right prices and just looked at me with a ridiculous expression. So I said no I will take it back.I drove 5 mins away to city bark where they paid me $46 dollars for the exact same items. Shame on you guys how to u stay in business by cheating all of your customers.
Always excellent service and an easy transaction!
I have went to them awhile back and thought they did a good job. I think people need to realize there running a business and have to be able to make money and if they seem rude it might be from dealing with rude customers all day thinking there going to get rich with there empty cans.
They are very friendly and easy to work with and they work with you on price if your ask.
Good place to go to make a few bucks if you got some metal laying around
Last Saturday I left metal here. a worker with a broken arm deceived me very cruelly, he spoke rudely and not beautifully. my dirty weight was 1647 pounds. as a result, they gave me $ 11 for 700 pounds and said that the rest of the punts are his containers. at the request to put his container on the weight he sent me ... to anyone and never recommend this place
Do not go here there rip-offs go across bridge to Oregon and double your$$$ and there parking lot is full of nails screws and chunks of metal no regards to the people that bring them scrap. they love it when you look at check and wonder why they ripped you off
Weekends are very busy as they only have 1 or 2 people working both the scrap yard & propane filling station!!! I recommended getting your propane during the week, if possible😊
So years ago I had an idea. And so did someone else. I went and saw them. Boy did I ever blow it. Great place and people recommend and will go back
Helpful staff and much better than going across the river to portland.
I called on December 3rd to verify that their hours on Sunday or 10 to 4 and I arrived at 10:10 workers didnt show up until almost 10:30 told me that he had work to do in the back and I could not come in, when I asked him how long he would be he said he would be at least another half hour and to come back later I told him I would just go ahead and wait he said I couldnt wait there I had to leave and just come later, at 11:00 I finally went in and waited for him he come over he told me he wasnt taking my metal because I closed my door on my truck and backed out and left. the kid is rude completely unprofessional no matter what theyre paying him it is too much, go someplace else and get a better price and better customer service.
This place is a ripoff and they only do bins. Maybe its better for non ferrous, I just had steel
Real nice people. Good little scrap yard
A compact pickup of accumulated aluminum cans got me $11.That paid for the trash can I bought, to save them up in bags.
Favorite scrap place around Portland area, they pay better than most, although be careful and make sure you have quality thick tires before you roll through their property... Because I may have made like $200today, BUT, a chunk of it is going to go to repairing my back tire in my truck😣 not their fault obviously, just my typical LUCK!
The lowest prices in town, so if you like to get top dollar or even triple then go to Portland. Better prices about double you will get at other place around Vancouver. But overall service was not bad here.
Help the environment... recycle!
Dont know why people are complaining I went today and the service was fast. And respextfull employees....they cant just have a full blown conversation with you in the yard withevery thing going on. Prices were good 500 lbs of tinsteel.
Not recommend . I got $12 for 2 CAT converters
Horrible horrible customer service. Waited a long time to talk to anyone, we finally got to talk to the younger guy that ran the forklift, who was very very rude and careless. You have to wait a long time for him to bring you over a bin to load up, which he was reluctant to do. If he picks up the bin and big stuff falls out he just drives off and doesn’t let you put it back in the bin. The pricing is terrible. We will never return here and I suggest you don’t either. So incredibly frustrating.
First time here, came to drop off some auto parts. Asked an employee a question and he ignored me and walked away. Highly unprofessional.
Cheaters.Don’t take ur metal here they gonna rip u off.
After EH Metal said my HUGE bbq grill weighed 16 lbs, I thought I should beware if I ever went back.I tried them again and they wont prove the tare weight of the dump bin and you cant see the scale weight from outside.Im sure the employees know how far off the tare weights are and they probably pocket the difference every time they can.As far as Im concerned, they have cheating scales.Youve been warned!REPLY TO OWNER: Then have the state certify the tare weights. Thats where the problem is.EDIT: I believe the 5 star reviews are horribly naive and/or fraudulent. No one there is friendly or professional.
Best scrap prices in all of orchards. Nice employees, fast service, they paid with check.
I brought in a van full of steel and aluminum and they marked it all down as tin... lost alot of money
They took my junk metal and not only didnt charge me but I got a couple bucks! Almost paid for fuel to get it there. And its nice to know that old junk will eventually be put to good use... Whats not to like?
Not the place you should turn in cans, brought about 260 cans which should be 13 bucks and they gave me a dollar
Got $4 for an aluminum truck rim. Thanks guys, nice job
Service is good but way below the market average for scrap. Go to Oregon, its its worth the wait.
Staff very helpful and pleasant to work with.
Called at 4:45 to confirm they were open. They said yes they were open until 5:30, normal hours. Drove 20 minutes to get there at 5:12 and the gates were locked and the business was closed. Very frustrating.They just lost a first time customer.
The guy that opened opened the gates opened up late, made someone backup into traffic for whatever reason, made us wait over 45 minutes before telling someone else to help us, then proceeded to lie about the scale wait. Have us 30% of three actual weight and amount we should have received. We have the transaction in writing and will be submitting this. This place is extremely dishonest and the person in charge of the facility was very lazy and slow.
Not good at all want to buy low price
Quick, friendly service (I did go on a weekday near the end of the day). Got a few bucks for my gross old kitchen stove and trampoline frame and stuff - sure beats the dump! The guy that helped me unload was keen to notice I had some copper, and made sure that it was weighed separately so I got paid fairly for it! Business integrity! Awesome!
The guy that drives the fork lift is an awesome person every time I go there hes always in a good mood and he knows how to talk to the customers. The young guy that works inside the booth Im sure hes a good person but he comes off as Angry Young Man my only concern with EH metal as someone that deals with customers daily he needs to learn how to smile and address customers with a different tone you could mistake his tone is being rude or someone that just doesnt like his job old might not be true but thats how he comes off overall five star rating if you ask me
Got rid of scrap metal and electronics and was paid 5 bucks to boot!
I never really write reviews on business. The staff there were really awesome, I never had turned in any scrap metals before, and had no clue or any idea what I was doing when I got there, the employees there were really nice and easy going, they helped me step by step and explained what the difference in the metals and the values were, recommend this best very friendly and easy going
Brought in two OE converters, they offered 38.00 for both of them. Thinking i was stupid and desperate. Two other recycler s gave offers of over $100.00These guys will rip you off
Not good take your metal somewhere else!This place the guy is rude with customersBad experience definitely i will not recommendand im not coming back for sure!
Friendly staff, clean establishment (it is a metal recycle, after all). We took a load of scrap metal in the back of the truck, loaded it into the bin they brought over, got scrap metal price, and left with a bit of cash. Pleased with the transaction, and would use them again.
The gentleman that help is really awesome
Fast service
The service was fast and organized. The guys there were professional, fas t, and helpful. Gave the going rate for scrap metal! Easy access, the recovery area was clear and uncluttered and they didnt allows scrapping in the yard.
They dont pay well and i had a $15 receipt that thay didnt even pay me. They said the receipt was expired and it should be a iou. Dont trust this metal recycling company. Will not go back.
I’m gonna be honest with all your negative reviews. Grow up. This place is providing a service for you. Theymake it so you don’t have to go pay money to go to a dump . The owner clearly is involved with your reviews and cares about your feed back but you can’t be mad at him for constant negativity. I have not had any bad interaction with his workers or any worries about the prices. In the end he’s trying to make money for his family just like you.
This is the best place in Vancouver Washington I found to scrap a car. They have instructions on their website on how to prepare to scrap your car. They paid cash for your junk car. All you need is a bill of sale, proof of title, lost title or junk affidavit and your ID. Remove all the fluids oil antifreeze fuel transmission fluid the oil pan transmission filter Freon and Schrader valve removed remove battery personal items license plates and Mercury switches and unexploded airbags
Quick and friendly service always thinking of the customer. Koni is the master of helpful. Best place in Washington hands down
Quick, to the point no bs scrapping here. Open on weekends. Would recommend. New building, place is looking great.
Super easy to dispose of your household scrap metal! We are repeat customers and will continue to use EH metal recycling...fast, convenient, friendly!
Don’t waste your time!!! The list of non acceptable items is longer than the acceptable ones. I’ve never heard of a recycling yard not accepting a hood of a car made of steel.
Easy way to get rid of all the scrap metal in your yard and garage and not have to pay. They take everything metal thats not a fridge or freezer.
Very nice guys! Much more convenient than going all the way to Portland and fighting traffic!
Been coming here for a while. Great people and they pay good rates. Thanks guys.
I love e n hBennett is the first employee Ive met and he has helped me tremendously with all the times Ive been there.
Always fast and helpfull, never had a problem with them. I would totally recommend you go there.
DO NOT BRING YOUR NICE TRUCK OR CAR HERE. I brought some scrap and when the guy was driving the forklift he pushed the bucket right into my tailgate. I asked the guy what he was doing and he just stared at me and back the bucket up. Very disappointed in driving skills and what little they paid me for my scrap.
My #1choice in metal recycling facilities Guys where very helpful. Service was fast.
What a disaster! The employees are rude and carelss, but we were in and out and the prices were exactly what I had read online before coming. It was very dangerous and dirty. And the employees definitely have no training in public relations. Would recommend another center if possible, but the pay was right on the money.
Great place,they took care of me. I would recommend this spot.
Crushed beer and soda cans. 585lbs and got $88.00 it was 15 cents per lbs. Not even close to market price of 50cents per lbs. Told me after he dumped them and I couldnt take them back.My bad for assuming it would be close to market price
Awful costumer service. The guy was rude, had no costumer skills and treated us with a hurry. He quoted our metals incorrectly and we had to ask him twice if he was right, apparently he gave us the wrong numbers. Talking about safety, Its basically enter at your won risk. Careful if you get run over by their trucks. Definitely not going back to this place. I dont recommend it.
Sufficient for what’s needed. AllYou people whining about rates, takenit to the dump and pay to dispose of it. If this is your only source of income, apply yourself and get a better job. Yay capitalism.
Great experience. No doubt I will be a returning customer! Thanks EH metal!!
Kid on the forklift was extremely rude. Worst customer service ever! Also, I wanted to turn in a few truck batteries and I thought they would pay somewhere in the same area that others do, 6 to 8 bucks a battery, but not even close. 15 cents a lb is what I was offered. Thats like 2 bucks for full size truck battery. Dont waste your time here.
Took all my wires and gave me a good price. Great people too
DO NOT GO HERE! after showing up and having to walk around trying to find someone, when I finally did the guy said someone would be out to help me and I can wait by my car. No one came out. After about 10 min I tried to wave another guy down and he looked at me and walked the other way. I dont care if its a scrap yard at least try and have some customer service. After waiting about 10 to 15 min and two employees blowing me off finally I left. I work as an electrician and know a handful of guys that scrap copper regularly, I will make sure they never come here. What a waste of my time.
Quick and easy process
Anybody that claims this place is great has most certainly not shopped around . he is offering 50 percent of market rate.
Soda cans400 i got 2.25 is a joke this place make hard to recycle i speend mor money on gasand the enployees are rude
This place sucks. they will RIP you off with any chance they get. I brought two 40 foot aluminum ladders and they guy told me to just set them on the ground 2 seconds later he handed me 5 bucks. i said to him your not even going to weigh them? he replied why. your probably going to get less then 5 bucks. I said I doubt that being that I have scraped multiple aluminum latters at this same location. he weighed them and it was 115 pounds of clean aluminum came out to be 27 bucks.
Quick service and friendly staff. Highly recommend!
Great job all around guys. Real class act. Thanks for your service to the environment.
They are Liars.Always check prices before u come people.I wish there would be more honest people in this business.
Great company. They helped very quickly and were very polite!!
We are very happy that JOSH,stayed late to help us and gave us a very good price on the metal..Thanks again.we appreciate you..
Great Place. Friendly, upfront and honest. Great to drop off scrap and grab some propane at the same time.
A place where people take advantage of you!Watch out they are scammers wanting to pay their own price which is less then half of standard stock prices 65 cents for cleaned copper!!! Beware and stay away!
They are awesome handle business great and always fair payouts
Great place quick and easy and pay is more than fair. First time we came here and were coming back for sure thaks EH METAL RECYCLING.
I brought down my old catalytic converter today, wasnt sure if I could recycle it or not so I asked the guy (unsure of name) and he tested it to make sure it was really a converter and he gave me $45 for it. Awesome place, wish I had more metal to recycle!
Great service, friendly people that assist so politely. Thanks EH Metal Recycling! Jason
