Reviews of EMR Northern Metal Recycling St. Paul (Scrap Yards)

Chad DeWaLL

Great experience

Patrick Burris

Great staff inside and out. Local business helping a local business! We won’t go anywhere else to bring our scrap metal.

Will Jimenez

Had a pleasant first time experience there, brought all my empty beer cans from a party and got a nice chunk of change for them. Staff was very helpful/friendly including the folks in the office. I was expecting rude service and was wrong. Only place I will be going to from now on.

Aluminum Cans! We had been collecting a basement full and finally found an easy place to take cans. When you pull in there is a sign for Aluminum Cans --- there is 4 bays, 2 were open at the time. They'll wave you in and dump cans as you unload your car. No hassel at all and we came back with another load. It was an Earth Day special 50cents a pound so that was an extra bonus. you get a slip with the weight and dollar amount and cash it in at the office (note if it is later in the day they could be short on cash. we took both our slips back over the lunch hour on Monday. Highly Recommend!

Prices are reasonable for quality scrap products

Not much communication considering this was my first time alone going and everything was moving so fast I couldn't keep up. But it all worked out in the end productive works and move quick.

These guys are great. Always getting the job done. If God made a place for recycling, this would be it!

Chester Mudek

One of the ever changing recyclers. I have always ben satisfied with my experience there. I recall as a youngster Great Western always sent Christmas cards to our house.

Bong Water Productions

They been paying pretty decent lately

Wayne Klayman

The few negative reviews I just read, leave me scratching my head. I have never brought anything but aluminum pop cans here, but I deal with many of the same people that the bigger “scrap” customers do. I have never, and I mean not once, had a bad experience here. The guy who takes my cans is always super nice and the office staff are too. Very nice people. And, I come here once a month and have for years. Don’t know what happened to these few customers who claim to have been ripped off or treated disrespectfully, but I have not and highly suggest you try them at least once, and judge for yourself. Frankly, my first time going there, I expected to be treated rudely as that’s just the way these places have always been, unless you’re a buddy of theirs or look like a “junk yard” guy. I am not and had no idea where to go or what I was doing and everyone was helpful. I was surprised and have been going there ever since. Going today as a matter of fact. Give them a try and see for yourself. You don’t have to go back again (but I bet you will.)

Ryan Grochow

Great place to drop off scrap metal

Cassondra O

Great way to clear out a bunch of aluminum cans!

Steven Hirman

They are honest and easy to work with. Office people are awesome! All around good place.

Robert Bogott

Helpful and friendly staff making a casual, occasional recycler welcome.

brian otto

Great place good people

Allen Chapman

Large facility, a bit bigger than the savage location, these guys have a 500 lb min for steel here vs 300 lb min in savage. If you have steel I'd get 1 ton or more. Good company to do business with.

Ed Obermeyer-Kolb

They are friendly and efficient.

EricBee Fpv

Great place

Eric Olson

Very helpful people there. Cassie and Steph are the best!!!

Brock Miller

legit

Nicole Stine

I love this scrap yard. They are some of the friendliest and prompt employees as far as getting your stuff weighed and getting you a ticket to go see the cashier. And not to mention highest prices usually.

Cindy Thrasher

The staff was very efficient in helping us with the recycling of our aluminum cans.

john dingle

Great office staff and yard staff . I had 3 different metals and they set me up w/3 boxes very fast . In and out in less than 30 minutes.

Tim

Busy but someone stepped up and took care of me. Very nice people.

Darrell Junk

Awesome place

Brian Koskie

I brought in a big trailer full of scrap filling up multiple of their bins....a few days later I received a check in the mail from them saying sorry they missed a bin. In my opinion a very honest fair place to go with your scrap.

Andrew Graski

Friendly and fast service. I work for a subcontractor that works strictly with EMR, I see the day to day. It's truly a great and very respectable recycling center.

Chris Crotty

This company is a joke. I told them going in I had no clue what's going on I've never been there before they gave me absolutely no Direction. Left me sitting there for an hour wondering what I was doing. Made me late for work. Only can get ripped off and get no choice about the matter. Because I was late for work and couldn't take the stuff back because it would have taken too long and there was no way I could lift it back into the trailer by myself. Gave me sheet aluminum prices for extruded aluminum. Wasn't even worth my time and I could have sold it for more otherwise. I even had people trying to buy it off of me but I made the stupid mistake of going to Northern metal recycling.

Jeff Hawksworth

Fast friendly. Very busy place. Just follow the instructions from the people, you'll be good.

Dawn Meath

Very busy place but well organized

Daniel Mann

Great place to cash in recyclable metals I have brought metal in for years and I have always been treated great even with small amounts of metal. Northern metal is a fair, honest, and great place paying top prices in the twin cities area

jacob jennie

A good place to drop off metal, but if you're on a deadline it's not as great. Dropped off over 800 lbs of steel, but didn't have time to wait on the scale and being told 3 different locations in the lot to drop it. If I wasn't on a deadline I may have waited to get paid for it, but it's set up in an inefficient manner to get through smaller loads (non-semi) through unless you're getting paid for your wait time.

Deryk Enlund

Friendly staff, put metals in bin, they do the rest

Julie York

It was good very busy place

jennifer stanley

mark young

Crane operator was rude tore a big hole in my wire mesh gate , , Rude supervisor very picky yard , they are not very customer friendly

Ms Jenny

I called ahead of time to see if I could bring my item. They said yes then when I got there everyone was like I don't know. Hard to tell where to go but employees were helpful.

Emilio Castillo morales

Very good

Gabe Munoz

I went on a weekday morning, The guy who put the cans in the hopper was very nice and helpful. Office staff was fast and friendly. 5 stars

Joseph Mccallister

Worst place for customer service. All the way up to the regional manager. I felt ripped off for the amount I received for the materials that were brought in at the current market prices. The lady in the office is just rude. There more worried about profits then they're about the integrity of there business an there business practices. I would never recommend this location to anyone not even to ask for directions. Rudest people to deal with. The belittlement they protry toward a person is pitiful

Cire Nivac

Terrible service. Many scrapyards will pay for less than 500lbs of steel. It's a tactic meant to basically let them hustle you out of 400 pounds of metal. Don't get hustled.

John Freimuth

My company has been using them for years. I keep up on the markets and their pricing has always kept bringing me in.

Andy Bennett

Very easy to find and they are very nice to deal with, I will always come back to NMR.

Dana Cleaver

Typical scrap yard. Muddy. Office people are pleasant. Took bout 2.5 hours to get loaded.

Chuck Stampfle

They need more help in the office. Otherwise it was a good experience.

Sebastian Ibañez

very nice
