Took my cans up there the other day. I recycle for my children to have some spend money in the summer time, when we do road trips. Currently aluminum cans are 40 cents what's expecting a little more than that but it is what it is...

Always cheat you !! Never consistent!! Explain how you have 400 lbs more of the same material and end up with 40 dollars less than the day before. Today was the 4th time I was cheated and the woman gave no explanation for the inconsistency I showed her in their own receipts. I’ll never be back!!

Unfortunately, they fly around in their red truck at over twice the speed limit in residential areas, having absolutely no possible way to stop if somebody is pulling out. I have video that is being presented to the Police Department, as this is a regular issue with them. My hope is that they'll be heavily fined.

Doesn’t matter what you bring in, they will treat you like a junkie. Everybody there was a junky, worker or customer bringing scrap. Stay away from this place. I will never go back.

Not honest. They skim hide and when caught act surprised and give apologies. Too much effort to win here.

I used to really like this place until the last 2 days I showed up at quarter to 4 and they wouldn’t take me for a small load of car parts, how hard can it be to watch me put rotors in a bin for a few minutes

The prices given over the phone were not the prices they paid. I was short changed on at least 2 items - cast iron and insulated wire. I'm guessing they figure you won't go through the trouble of reloading your scrap and going to another dealer. I live in the south hills and went there for convenience. I've gone to the place in Tarentum before and trust them, and I would go out of my way next time. You can stand right at the scales and verify the weight of your items, also.

I did a Siding job and I removed 32 sq. of aluminum siding plus gutters downspouts and they and for all that amount of aluminum I only took out a total of 400 lbs and they paid me 0.45 per lbs that was a total of $ 180 they hardly stole more from me From the half. And this week I did another job I removed 24 sq aluminum siding and went somewhere else here in north side and they gave me a total of $ 416 and got the same price $ 0.45 per lbs I really don't recommend this place they are not honest👎👎👎 👎

Should be a negative star rating for how bad they are. The absolute biggest scam scrap yard in Pittsburgh. I took two loads there one all steel scrap and a seprate cast iron load. Called day of for cast iron price "9.00 per hundred pound". Ok great 2 bucks more than the yard i usually go to and closer to my house. Take the steel first and watch the scale as it says 2487 lbs. Ok i figure the metal container you throw the scrap in weighs maybe a couple hundred lbs or so. I look at my receipt 880lbs was listed meaning the bin weighs 1607lbs which isnt possible because you can push them by hand. So i take my cast iron down and put it on a chip pallet and it goes on the scale 550 lbs. I get my receipt and its listed at 440 and 4 dollars per hundred lbs. So not only do they cut weight off of you they also give you fake prices to get you there and then rip you off. Will never go back to them.

My pap went here all the time for his copper and stainless steel scraps. I took some stuff for him… ($60 plus in copper) Needless to say I’m a female and they decided to “pull a fast one”. When she told me how much I was getting ($5.35) I giggled to myself and walked out. They will rip you off.

Best place I have visited!! Honest, hardworking people who in my personal experience give above fair market price for scrap metal! Keep up the great job! CurtisB

Watch these guys! I took in 120 lbs of aluminum and they stated that they were not going to pay me full price because it was not cleaned! The metal was bare aluminum with some paint coating on it. I have taken the same aluminum to other places and got full price. They are out to make a serious buck and give minimum in return.

89 lbs of #1 insulated wire 80% recovery and they marked it as scrap and gave me $.35/lb. WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN, should have the option to give them a negative star since they ripped me off.

Always a good experience. Been coming here for years, they are always helpful and they don't cheat you on weight.

John Dolansky

Sent the wife down with cast aluminum and an aluminum dishwasher shell. They called it scrap gave her pennies. Don't let them rip you off, go elsewhere.

As far as recyclers go for the non-professionnels like myself, this place was just fine. Not sure about the prices but everyone was helpful, quick, and hard working.

Went there with number 1 copper I weighed before going and which was over 100 lbs and they only paid me for 50 and already disposed if the copper and told me I was wrong when I told them I had way home then that

They gave me 1$ for #2 copper. I used to think Castriota was good. Never going there

Rob Cypher

Their prices for metal are only so-so; only good for those who can't travel very far outside of the Pittsburgh area.

This place is an absolute joke. Offered me 20-80$ for two catalytic converters. Over 300 at another one. Avoid this place

Jeffrey Nixon

More than fair prices, they give the you the higher percentage of market value. I suggest them.

Bailey Degregorio

Always a fair price on my metals. Donny is the go to guy!
