DONT BRING ANY COMPUTER PARTS!!! This place does not know how to evaluate electronics at all and their employees will throw,kick and toss all ur stuff around in the dirt, wont listen to you, and chipped paint off my car when i told them i dont need any help unloading onto a dolley. i dropped off 30+ military class 4 motherboards and 30+ hard drives just for them to misevaluate and mis treat my items. Theres other places in tempe that will give 250+ for items like that with rhodium and gold and evaluate it properly, and give u the right amount for ur computer parts. read more

I took in three or four plastic grocery bags of cans at the end of my last trip here and got about a dollar. This trip I had about twice to three times that much, two kitchen trash bags full. It still came to only $1.80 for three pounds. At least it wasn't far to drive here, but still hard to justify the energy saving them other than the reward of knowing I was recycling. I saw pickup trucks loaded with metals lined up going in a different entrance and the guy ahead of me inside the office got over $50, so I guess it's worth it if you have enough pounds of scrap metal. read more

Metal prices for used metal are way high go to Davis, scrap they will rob u , major rip off..

New And Improved! I have been coming here for at least 15 years and it's amazing how nice it is now here. It used to be a little hole in the wall rough spot and now there are nice new buildings and everything is so much more organized! Great spot if you need some metal for a project! I was just in for some round stock and got it all taken care of in double time and was back out for my day! Everyone was professional and friendly. Thanks Guys! read more

not worth the drive. took an alternator in with easily $10 of copper in it and was given 50c.

Brought over 5,000 pounds of aluminum, was paid out $30. This place will rob you. Worst metal exchange I've ever been to. Our normal exchange gave us $300 for a load less than this. Do NOT GO HERE. read more

Been taking my scrap metal here for years until I caught them scamming me today. I brought a dump trailer load of scrap metal earlier then brought one at LEAST 33% larger a few hours later and it was the same EXACT weight. EXACT TO THE POUND 14,980 tare 12,960 net 2,020. that is not possible. Plus how is the tare the same after probably burning 4 gallons of fuel? They have the scale set to a max. I have both invoices and photos. Called the guy out on it and he didn't know what to to say and had the deer in headlights look. One and done. Game over. Stay away. read more

I just dropped off some old steel equipment and brass this morning. I had never been there before. Everyone who assisted me in yard was very helpful and courteous to me. From the guy who weighed my truck/load, the other gentleman who helped me unload and finally the man assisting me at the small scale, they were all great! I was very impressed with their service and their rates are good. I will definitely use them again. read more

Updating my review to 5 stars: I'm glad Anthony D. of American Metals explained the price paid for aluminium cans, below. The price does seem very fair with explanation, and as mentioned before, I feel American Metals Company is the best choice for a metal scrapping service in the east valley. read more

Second visit, first review. Friendly helpful staff. Feel good recycling cans, get a little cash back for it, can't go wrong. If you have a child interested in machinery and cranes this is the place to take them. They are very well organized. Will definitely continue business here. read more

I needed some angle iron for a garage door addition to a shed. I don't know anything about metal but had a general idea of what I wanted. They were super helpful and had me in and out in 5 mins. They only charged $2 to cut the angle iron for me so I didn't have to attack it with a grinder at home. read more

This place will rip you off left and right! The people here are rude and dishonest! They told me one price for a full bed of aluminum, then turned around and gave me .6 cents because it had TWO screws in it! I know what painted aluminum goes for and it's not .6 cents!! I will never do business with them again! Horrible! Horrible! Horrible!! read more

Why why why. Does it take 25 minutes to go get and cut in half 400ft of barstock and im the only customer. Ugh read more

I have not been here in a while... They have cleaned up the look quite a bit...but.. Today i stopped at American Metals since its close to my job. Wow, what a waste of time that was! I was kinda greeted by the Snotty, office ladies with there "i dont know" "You'll need to wait" ready to blurt out at you! Before even starting to asking anything. Ha! All i need is a half stick of 2" steel square [hitch material]... No dice! WTF! I'll be heading to Industrial Metal Supply right passed american metals all the way from san tan valley. IMS is much better organized, Larger inventory and easier to navigate through with MUCH nicer staff. read more

It's a bit out of the way, and I am more familiar with the Chandler yard, but this location is now the closer of the 2. I've only been there a few times, so the getting in and out is a bit confusing still. The staff has always been rather cool, however, and generally have been helpful. Not like aluminum or steel is as valuable as silver or gold, but it's nice to be able to recycle it AND get a bit of money back. 4 out of 5 stars so far. :) read more

Every time I come to this place I feel like I've won the genetic lottery. These people are rude, lazy and stupid. Normally I don't write negative reviews like this and totally trash the people. But this is dozens of times frequenting this place and being treated like garbage before I leave this review. I wish I could leave zero stars. They never pay you what they say they will. They always want you to unload everything by yourself, and I'll add that these bins are usually 8 feet tall. Yeah, you want me to throw a truck load of sheet metal into an 8 foot tall bin? Yeah right. Everyone in the office is rude, everyone that works in the yard is lazy. I hate this place. read more

Always incredibly helpful. And the pricing is fair and reasonable. The location is as clean as a recycling yard can be. I come here often and have never had a problem. Great for small businesses who need to get rid of left over cables, wires or steel. read more
