C&D Scrap Metal Recylers Co Inc

I love $ 2 bills. I really do. Whenever I get them I never spend them. I just can’t part with them. So when I had a bunch of metal lying around I pictured myself rolling in stacks of $ 2 bills.
I have been re-​doing my jeep, so I needed to get rid of the old bumpers. I had these, plus some odds and ends; all of them metal jeep parts. I think it was all steel, but what do I know? It was about fifty pounds of metal.
Upon pulling up the place is barely organized chaos. There are forklifts zipping around and moving giant piles of metal, so be aware of your surroundings. If you back into one of the spots out front someone will come over and help you off load any metal you have. They then take your metal, put it on a scale, and you wait in line to get paid.
When I got up to the front, I was really excited to get my stack of $ 2 bills. Instead I received $ 1,89 for my fifty pounds of metal. I was so sad. I didn’t even have $ 0.11 to give them so I could get one $ 2 bill. I think my metal was worth more.
This place seems to cater to the industrial crowd. If you are guy with a comparatively small amount of metal like me, the trip may not be worth it.

This is the place that has the TV commercial that says they will pay you in $ 2.00 bills. That is absolutely correct. You will get paid in $ 2.00 bills, but you will also get paid in larger bills if your item requires a larger dollar amount. They accept a variety of items, such as scrap metal, copper and old appliances. I took an old washer and dryer here. Since it was made out of tin, I didn’t expect that much money for it. Metal pays the highest dollar amount. The staff was friendly, and they unloaded the set from my truck very fast. I took my place in line, my item was announced, weighed and payment was rendered.
The overall yard is cluttered with stuff. If you have small children with you, please keep them by your side at all times. This can be a dangerous place. They organize the incoming vehicles in two lanes, unload them, and direct you to a parking spot so you can stand in line. There was one cashier, and I went on a Saturday so the line was fairly long. My wait time was about 20 minutes.
Overall, I believe what C & D Scrap Metal Recyclers is doing for the community and the economy is a good thing. I will definitely take all of my scraps and non-​working appliances to them, so that they can dispose of them properly.

Don’t go here — they’ll rip you off!
First time recycling metal… I brought all of the scrap metal around my garage to recycle– almost 200 Lbs worth of various metal. Brought corrugated steel sheets from an old awning, a stainless steel kitchen sink, some heavy steel decorative works and a steel chiminea (Deckmate Sonora Outdoor Chiminea Fireplace Model 30 199) which weighed 75Lbs. I received $ 0.45 for my decorative steal (14 Lbs), $ 0.40 for my stainless sink, and $ 0.06 for «shread tin» (which they included my 75Lb steal chiminea and 65 Lbs-​6 sheets of Corrugated Steel Roof Panels). Since it was my first time, I just took the $ 24 and left without really looking at the receipt. Once I sat down with a friend and looked it over, I see that I got screwed by this place that gives $ 2 bills. Poor business practices guy!!! There are several steal recycle places on Pinemont/​Ella area that are open on weekends-​Sat until 3pm. I’ll be doing business elsewhere and yes I’ll tell everyone I meet not to go to C&D in the heights!

When we started a new business a while back and as a byproduct now ended up with lots of metal shavings of various metals (all sorted in drums though).
Always remembered C&D’s commercials so figured I would give them a call. People on the phone were polite and told me what day they would be out. They measured the drums on their truck and exchanged for empty ones. Couldn’t really tell you how accurate their scale was but the weight seemed reasonable enough. Got paid and off they went.
Well, started calling around and it quickly became apparent that C&D doesn’t pay near what others will pay for your scrap. I guess they have to pay for all their commercials and that fancy truck somehow.
Switched to a different vendor that not only pays competitive rates but also supplied us with some large bins & hoppers at no charge.
When it comes to dealing in scrap, the bottom line is getting paid top dollar for your material, otherwise you are just wasting time and effort. Spend a little time and call around before taking your haul somewhere.

I don’t trust ‘em. Despite their ads and sponsoring of the Rockets, I don’t think they are right for your average person. Their real business is with workers and construction guys who come in with trailers full of scrap.
I went once and got a great price. I came another time and think I got ripped off. They categorized some solid steel as «shreddable» and gave like 5 cents a pound. When I asked the manager about it, he was very evasive.
Not trustworthy when it comes to price. But still better than tossing this stuff in the trash.

I’ve been sitting on this FTR for awhile now too, but with so many new Unilocalers out there, they all seem to be getting sniped. I figure I might as well claim it before it’s too late.
Well lately, I have been obsessing about the show Storage Wars, so much that I actually have gone out to storage auctions and won a couple myself. So what do you do with all the treasure? You sell what you can, nickel and dime to a profit. But when you see copper, brass, or any other random metals. You’ve struck mini gold.
I take my scrap metal to C & D, because they pay me in 2 dollar bills! HA! I kid. They do pay you in random bills though, I got a mix of 2 dollar bills, common currency, even dollar pieces.
They do not offer the best price in town that’s for sure but, they are quick and easy. They even sort your scrap so if time is money this is your place.
