Ben Weitsman of Albany JunkYard Reviews

    To start this review off coming from a person that used to work at Ben Weitsman at Albany you may say I’m a little bias, however, a lot of people that work here & even customers can prove and agree to my reasons as to why I personally don’t recommend this scrap yard for various reasons. First reason, it is a very discriminatory place where the Mexican/hispanic & black workers are looked down upon and paid extremely low compare to your typical white male worker. In addition to that they aren’t allowed to move up in position keeping them at a low level, therefore demonstrating and keeping them in a discriminatory and slave environment. Second of all, the management is TERRIBLE. They CAN’T KEEP THEIR WORKERS OR EVEN A GENERAL MANAGER. From what I saw there is a struggle of power between higher position personnel. THIS PLACE NEEDS A CHECK AND BALANCES SYSTEM. Third of all, these higher positions personnel posses an extremely rude attitude and can be very demanding when they’re low staff! Moreover, this place is unsanitary and they don’t follow COVID protocols. There are nails everywhere that can pop your tires, save your self the drive. Not only that the scrap yard in itself is dirty and unsafe. In addition, COVID protocols are not even followed. CUSTOMERS & THE STAFF ARE ALLOWED TO DO WHAT THEY WANT AND THEY DON’T WEAR MASKS EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULD BE ENFORCED. Customers would come in coughing and dirty WITHOUT A MASK. In my opinion, THIS IS A SELFISH MOVE and DEFINITELY NOT CONSIDERATE OF OTHERS HEALTH! Last but not least, they scam people and you won’t get ur money’s worth. I rather recommend going across the river. THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN AND DEEPLY INVESTIGATED! THUMBS DOWN!

    Scam alert they are HORRIBLE!!! They will jerk you if you do not know your metals and wires. They will say Tin when it’s really magnetic stainless. I stripped all of my wires and they gave me the lowest wire when I had the second highest. If you take a chance with them be careful. I am done with them. Just warning everyone else how they scam people.

    Not a good experience. I’ve been there two times and got under weighed both times. The Mexicans speak Spanish and weigh your stuff twice which is interesting. Thought they were worth a try because they claim to have the best prices which may be true. That being said they don’t have honest scales and employees.

    This scrapyard is by far the best scrapyard in the area! The workers are very kind and very polite. Very spacious and very well organized. The workers in the metal shop move so quickly and elegantly that they can have you scaled very fast. It does not take very long for you to be scaled and paid! They have great prices for their scrap metal and you never have to worry about them trying to rip you off! Very loyal and very smart! Go to this scrapyard when you want to turn your metal in. You will not regret it!
