Tow truck driver was on time. It was my first time scrapping vehicle and I forgot to siphon the full tank of gas out of my blazer 🤬😢😰 of course I have no idea how to do it so I asked the driver can I get the gas out ?? He didn't offer to help he just said that hose won't be long enough. I gotta load this up and go. I understand that I should of remembered the 55 dollars in gas that I put in an hour before my truck broke down. A month ago... But he acted like it was no big deal kinda laughing at me. So the white blazer has a full tank of gas in it... It could of been handled better is all I'm getting at.

First time scrapping. My dad was a home machinist for 50+ years and he decided to clean out all his scrap. I did my research and sorted but I want to give a huge thank you to JAMES in the yard for all his help and directing us where and what to do. Very nice and always had a smile. Great experience with everyone and I would highly recommend them for accuracy, friendliness and fair prices.

Jason Summer

very helpful staff . big easy to read signs was great experience today .plus a free 25 dollar gas card for the guy

First time going here. Everyone was extremely nice. Scrap is just side money for hot rod projects I don't get all to serious about it. But I will be going back here as they seem very fair. Any scrap tips deeply appreciated.

Mark Davis

Made it work even though process for me wasn't ideal.

Macy Olson

First time. Never been there before. Staff was helpful. I donated a cast iron tub, also got couple $$ for iron pipe.

Solomon Steinke

Giving the 5-star mostly for customer service. Quick to respond to any concerns and their manager is old-school, likes to try and make every experience the best he can. He reached out to me when I had a concern and we had a very productive conversation. Rare to find people willing to work with you like that.

I recently bought tires from Metro and was extremely happy with the quality, price, cleanliness and the helpful staff there who helped me. Props to the Pit Crew who handed out yummy cookies and a nice hot cup of coffee! Thank you so much! I have already started to tell others about you! Way to go Metro! The recycling department are on it! Getting folks in and out of the facility and getting it done right! Will definately do business again!

Not your occasional household scrap site. I waited an hour to drop off some aluminum cans and an aluminum box before taking them elsewhere. In this time frame I only witnessed 2 vehicles make it to the scales. This location caters to those that bring in scrap by the truck load. I waited in the parking lot for some of the time but there was little room to park, appeared unorganized, and no signage for where smaller loads can unload and be weighed. If you have a small load looking for a quick payout this is not the place to go. Edit: decided to try again today and found where to go but then was told that the program they use is down. I waited some time and then found out it happens all the time. They are not very customer oriented they had no backup system in place or an estimate of when the program would be working. They should be able to weigh your items write the items and weight on paper then send it to the office where they use a calculator to calculate the price and pay you. They don't want your scrap I'm pretty convinced. More wasted time. Edit 2: went back a couple hours later and was in out and paid in 10 minutes. I have revised my rating from 1 to 3. This time was probably more indicative of what to expect but it should not have taken 3 trips to achieve this outcome.

Metro has wonderful staff. They have been very helpful. They keep a clean yard which is key to not having popped tires after your visit.

Stay open till 5pm like before! Lots of changes that are more favorable to the owners rather than the customers...If you only go a few times a year, like me, the changes have no benefits except for getting paid full scrap price on Fridays. Be careful driving thru the yard- might catch a nail in a tire :(

Cecil Sr. Jones

I was able to be in and out in under 10 minutes, paid and all!!!!!! Very professional and helpful. I'm going to do more collecting just because of how my experience went. Thumbs up guys!!!!!! You have to plan wisely and call ahead if time when dealing with any scrap yard. Certain times are busier than others

Xiangzhen Kong

Good price with friendly stuff. Got 25$ gift card as new customer.

Bob Brin

Dropped off some copper pipes for recycling. Made some nice cash. Easy.

Tony Albright

Good place to take your scrap metal. Workers are friendly. One thing that bugs me is they could be a little quicker at the scale for the iron pile. Other then that not much to complain about.

R J

Clean, friendly employees, it was nice to see parking spaces provided for people to sort their scrap. I definitely appreciate seeing a female working there!!!

Dustin Hudak

Good prices for scrap not the best in state but best for St Paul / rough spot to drive thru and watch out for sharp objects in road / but the people that work there give it 4 stars otherwise would be 3 because not worth hassle sometimes during busy hours or if train shows up I can get stuck for a while but employees make or break them so keep up the great employees lose them and then not worth it for scrap yard so keep it up guys thanx

Came and picked up my car a full day before they had said they were going to, I actually thought the car had been stolen. Was not able to get personal items out because of this so I called them right away. Was told they would go through the car and bring me my items because of their error, was told they would do this the very next day. In addition to this I had a bike rack on the car, once again was told they would "make it right." Next day came and nothing was returned to me, I began to call and leave messages and not one of my phone calls was returned. After a week of waiting and making phone calls I went on my annual summer vacation. When I returned, my personal items were sitting in a big plastic bucket in my backyard and had been there for some time. The bucket was filled to the brim with rain water, thus destroying all my personal things. Car rack was nowhere to be seen as well, and since that time Metro Metals has not returned my phone calls or emails. Not even close to what I would call a professional organization. Update- Since I posted this review Irwin from Metro Metals has been in contact with me on a daily basis. He has made a point to make sure I am satisfied with their services, and most importantly he apologized for the sequence of events. While the whole ordeal was a pain, Irwin has made a point to make sure they are doing everything they can to make things right and that alone would cause me to try this company again.

Hands down best prices Quick Service and they hooked us up with a full tank of gas on our way out! This place gets both thumbs up!

Nick Fiedler

Paul and his team accommodated me being there just before close, and took care of what I needed in a very quick and courteous manor. Would give ten stars if I could, these guys are great.

Gary Percival

This place is very fair, honest, clean and has a very polite and knowledgeable emoyees. I have been coming here for 8 years now... and Metro Metals is STILL the only place I will go to.

Jeremy Brua

Great group of people working there. Always helpful

ruben gregory ramos

Not really beginner friendly but fair prices, very clean,efficient operations with longer hours than competitors. Complimentary sodas & even ice cream on the hotter days, you can't beat THAT!

Devon Adams

I would say it’s just like any scrap yard if they think you don’t know your steel they will take advantage of you! I had this experience at metro metals but at the same time I’ve had it at all the scrap yards!

Sherry Lorsung

We called salvage yards and other auto recycling...they said our car was too old, too many things wrong with the car (what?) Another said they would tow it, but pay us nothing...last call was to Metro Metal Recycling and so glad we did, great customer service, no hassles, quoted and scheduled pick up right away, within 24hrs the car was gone and we had cash in our hands...we recommend them and would use them again...Thanks :-)

We've had good experiences with Metro, but in searching for Metro's contact info online, were disappointed to see several images/photos of your 'Pit Crew' (girls). None of these appear on your website, so apparently they were 'found' from your Facebook Page. I don't see any recent postings showing these scantily clad women, so perhaps you've discontinued this offensive practice. Reading some of the FB comments on these pictures/postings says a lot about why this is so wrong. Hopefully, this kind of 'promotion' has ended. On our visit on 4/1/2017, we did see some (new?), large banners with images of women suspended from the ceiling. Is this really necessary? We would very much like to continue using Metro as our recycler, but will likely move to another business, should this practice continue.

Diego alba

Awesome place. Everyone there is friendly. Easy to talk to. You get in and out quick. Ill definitely be coming back more often.

Manson Lambright

Aaron Livingston

Metro is a wonderful place to sell your scrap metal. The employees are kind and courteous. They are always happy to help.

Andre L

Looks very organized. Seen an associate driving around with a machine with a magnet on front to pickup pieces of scrap metal so you shouldn't get a flat. Thanks Metro!!!!

Steven Jerman

Fast, fair, and friendly. I'll be going back.

brettman422

Alissa is wrong. I scrapped my own car and they wouldn't take it until I produced a title. I've seen other people violently argue with them and the refuse to take cars without titles.

Steven Little

Very nice people, from the drivers you see in the semi's to the men and women that help you at there facility.

Amy Andree

Love these guys, they treat clients well, and are open later than most.

Marjorie Mcewen

Static Adamah

do u really expect to get a car for nothing and have no issues. obviously if u don't work on cars or know a mechanic this is not the place for you

This place is way to small for the amount of traffic they get. Wait times are off the charts and none of the employees are any too helpful nor are they friendly.
