Reviews of Great Northwest Recycling (Scrap Yards)

James Euell

Great place to recycle computer items except monitors. I recycled cards and cables and other items. And I got paid for them, what a blessing.

Jeff Kubenka

Get there early. When they are busy, will take awhile.

Cody Smith

Can be intimidating to first timers but the staff is friendly and helpful

Michelle Borsheim

Delilah is a wonderful employee, and so professional and a great representative for this company. She deserves a raise. Especially since she is your "Cover girl" on your website! That is one big banner~She is always so helpful when I bring things to recycle.

Jesse Davila (Jess)

Some days they have customer appreciation days and give free hot dogs chips and a drink, not much but it's always a good sign to see businesses make an effort to show and give something back to there customers.

Neyra Gallegos

The process was quick and smooth. The lady at the front desk was very polite!

Today, I took them a clean LS3 Engine Which I weighed at home at 122.2 lbs . The aluminum alloy contains(92.6% aluimium 3%copper 6%silica) Inspentllllremoved all the Iron parts, I spent 30min pressure washing it till it was perfectly clean. The only iron parts left on the the engine the 8 piston sleeves. I told the guy at the gate I wanted the rate they give for aluimium rims $.37 lbs.. But what happened was the guy who weighed my stuff took the block, some clean aluminum pipe., and 16 pounds of cans. He came back with a ticket which I I know for a fact that ABC on military would have paid me .32 per lbs for the whole load, going there I would have gotten $48 in cash. But at NW Recycling, I gave 150 lbs of 92.6% aluminum for $19.50, which they will sell by the ton for $1,789.35, they will get $134.20 for the metal I gave them. I did all the work to separate and clean the material, they gave me 14.1% of the profit. I insulted and they disrespected my efforts. I will never go there again.

By far the best metal recycling place in all a Bear county!!! Great service great prices. Thank you!!!

Benjamin Rowland

great place, clean and very friendly staff. they always offer the best rates. the girl that said she got ripped off most likely brought in dirty #3 copper and expected to get paid for clean #1. that wont happen

The worst place you can go to sell aluminium cans. They rip you off totally. There has been times when they weigh the can they rip you off 30lb. Or more. This place is a disgrace and dishonest. Do not recommend this place at all.

B S

This place is awesome when you need a help and hand short on cash Hello..... This is the spot to go ! This employee there helped me get a bin off my truck she send me to the right area for cans and tin... Then other employees helped hands on for me thanks guys keep up the Great Job. A while back I came in to bring in stuff and an employee helped me out boy oh boy he smelled like alcohol bad in his breath I don't understand what kind of business this is but I'm having more than just a second thought this dark guy still is there too

ron davila

Easy convenient recycling

Wayne Simonsen

Easy to get rid of a broken water heater and scrap metal.

Eric C. Gutierrez

Our company has been recycling metal for quite a few years now and GNW has always beat or matched the prices that I have ever been able find in San Antonio. Honest, quick, and a safe environment that I would recommend to anyone that wants a fair deal without wasting too much time shopping.

Nick Castillo

Best prices

Ratsamee Williams

Decent service, with not bad pay outs

Diana Paxson

We always take our scrap metal that we recycle from our business to this company. Easy in and out. They are competitive with their pricing. We will definitely keep going as our trailer gets filled. Thanks.

Debbie Miller

I took 50 pounds of clean aluminum. The receiver did not even open the bags. He listed my aluminum as foil and cat food cans and gave me the lowest price on the list! I got ripped off. $10.00 for 50 pounds was not worth the effort! We've been going there for 20 years & it ends right here!!

Brian White

They are fair, friendly and fast with everything they do there. I would say it's the best scrap yard in San Antonio I've been every single one of them and there's quite a few shady ones out there this one is not that's why I go back.

John Gomez

Had a great experience. Fast and friendly out at the yard unloading and at the counter. Excellent place. Thanks!

DANIEL J. ZAPATA

Quick and easy

Shukri Muwwakkil

Just Jericho

Yeah my name is jerica Smith and I'm just trying to clean out my garage and just clean up and they're very rude to me all the employees I feel like they cheat me but I'm not going to argue with them I feel kind of afraid to even ask a question

Went to cash in my mother boards & the following items on this list shown! They scammed me out of a few dollars on the item low grade aluminum at a nickle a pound, they were paying a nickle a pound for 7 pounds = .35¢. I'm really disappointed with GNW Recycling I bust my knuckles my arms are hurting from taking the items appart and only receiving a nickle a pound for top rated aluminum & other top value items. I believe I'm going to take my items elsewhere to sell, exspecially the Golden items. Today March 27,2018 It was a better experience for my visit at GNW Recycling Center! I took my 2 bags of cat food cans & received a $1.75 as I walked back out to the vehicle that I was driving the General Manager approached me! not with guns or tanks,or raging praises! But with a Compassionate Character. He brought to my attention of my prior experience at GNW Recycling Center with understanding knowledge.He explained to me to have a successful company & service we should have an understanding how things operate. So out of his busy schedule he utilized his time with my time to show me, refresh my understanding with the process of profiting from metal recycling at GNW Recyclers, also gave me a brief Understanding of the employees at GNW Recycling Center, which I have come to know those who have diligence to care & be there to help with the items I'm delivering. You see the General Manager didn't have to do what he did. To give more understanding to me and to keep me in service of Recycling. You see before I ever went to GNW Recycling Center on March 27,2018 I prayed a prayer in God' ever presence and asked that HE give to me what I worked diligently for. So when I visited GNW Recycling Center HE sent the General Manager out to increase the Understanding about how to care more for those who care about what we do in our service to others. This Day I give to GNW Recycling Center ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

This place a rips off people who go to them. I came with my 1500 chevy pickup overloaded with solid metal, and I left with a filthy 75 dollars. And they still wanted to pay me with a check, for many years I took the metal that comes out of my workshop there, but I see that they are licensed thieves. I'm sorry for those people who dedicate themselves to gather metal and they rob them there.

Alicia Jacobsen

This place is a total rip off!

Richard Schoenberger

Professional operation

JINGLE BELL

9.76 for the complete bed truck filled with scrap metal and suspension parts then they wouldn't let me get on my parts and materials back because they mix it immediately with the rest of the scrap metal

David Avila

Nice place thanks for your great service ????

Drew Davis

Went looking to buy some scrap metal, guys on the yard were super helpful and you can't beat 30 cents a pound.

Justin Jones

Fast and efficient. Very helpful. Four stars only because their rates are about half of what I can get across town for scrap metal

Monica Vasquez

Great Northwest Recycling have the best prices I have gotten and the staff was very friendly. By far it is the cleanest recycling center and it is really comfortable getting in and out with no problem. I have been going in for five years and I haven't gotten no problems. I recommend this place to go, it is by far the best place in San Antonio.

Lori S.

We have been going there for over a year but no more, we just got ripped off! They paid us HALF of what the rate was for copper and brass!

fawn arnoldin

Pulled up to curbside and was brought in w in 5 minutes. Unlike 3 other places... Dr extremely kind.. caring.. has compassion unlike 3 others.. vet tech great. They've help to turn a devastating situation in to a hopeful one so I can be strong for my puppy.

Rickey Richardson

Great place to turn your unused recyclable items into ca$h.!!!

Michelle B

I'm not sure how their prices compare with other recycling centers but I give it five stars because it is by far the cleanest one I have been to. The first time I went I thought it was really dirty but I guess that's because I had never been to another one here in San Antonio. They actually HELP you and I feel way safer when I go to this one.

Stanley Masch

Don't get much for aluminum any more

Rosco Piedra

Justin Michael

I always get ripped off coming here. Better off going to Monterey

Robert Arguijo Jr

Been going here 15 plus yrs.friendly& helpful F

Denise Garza

Worst place to work if you're a family person.. They talk you out the benefits so you choose the lowest premium so they dont have to pay more now we have plan we have to pay more out of pocket expenses. They give advancement to employees and deduct from next check so the employee doesn't have to pay child support because they deduct the advancements first leaving no money for child support office to take out. And their employees smoke as well. I have pictures. This probably why they are cheap to pay out for something more than pennies.

Joel Guzman

Live just down the street and got here in 15 years was taking wire somewhere else and getting robbed two different places finally came out here . They kept her word on what he told me on the phone and what they paid out should I come over here from the beginning,People very helpful and knowledgeable

Carl Muniz

ronnie tristan

Great place to deal with, and very friendly to work with.????????????

Jack Overman

I have been recycling here for at least 5 years and i have always had a great experience . I recycle four different metals and the employees always help me unload my truck and the staff is very friendly and the prices for my recyclables are great. I will always use northwest recycling for my recycling needs.

BrianPuppy Griffin

Great place to get cash for cans

just me

They are are good people working there in the office and yard

Alicia Simon

Strict "mask on" policy

Mike Speer

This place is a joke. Aside from them paying very little, they pay you in a check. Waste of time for 15 dollars. What a bunch of crooks. I hope the check don't bounce.

James Smith

Awesome Staff !

Mycal Harn

This has to be the most professional company in the business that they are in. Most honest and dependable, Willing to go the extra mile to make you feel appreciated. I have currently used there services at my business in San Antonio for many years. Integrity is the single word I will use to describe Great Northwest Recycling. Everyone from their truck drivers to the management team. To bad there is only the one location. Please keep striving for the greatness you do!

Darren Harrington

I have been doing business with these guys for years. I am a contractor and my rep. Brian has always done what he has promised. They come to my office at times and pick up my heavy boxes of recyclables and leave empty boxes for the new stuff. The girls in the front office are always kind and get me out fast. Their location is great and I highly recommend them.

David Tovar

Awesome prices

Travis Hudson

Several hundred pounds of Aluminum reduced to a penny over tin because there was alloy and steel and some iron bolts attached. Take it or Leave it attitude for sure. It had Steel attached so two and half cents it was. I can be thankful there were not tin inside otherwise it would have been one and half cents per pound.

Michelle Ochoa

Has to be the cleanest recycling center in all of San Antonio! Concrete is located everywhere. Not muddy like other places. Employees are super friendly and helpful. Really eager to help. So friendly, Makes you feel great about recycling and it doesn’t hurt that you make a little money doing it lol. Will definitely come here more and have already forgotten about the others????

Mike Wallace

Use them all the time for my business. great people to work with. Class Company.

Enrico Hernandez

They had containers there that you could use to empty your buckets in. Very prompt service, sure it was a check, but no problem. I will use them again.

Logan Bruntmyer

Great place!

Stephen D

Clean and disassemble everything. Bring a magnet and ask questions about codes they use, once they weigh it and you goto checkout its to late to dispute the code they used.

Victor Gonzalez

I took many pounds of clean copper and the receiver say it need to shine and he give me the cheapest price , very mad about that ...

Carolyn Villegas

What you would expect from a recycling center. Polite and fast
