I have been going here for the past six months with my cousin and every trip was great. The staff is super friendly, especially the young dude in the blue building. The ATM setup is awesome. I don't trust the other yards in town, they seem shady and are not nearly as professional.

It’s a great place to take scrap metal! Their prices are up to date and I enjoy being able to pull in the scale weigh my tin and number 1 steel unload and go. The people are generally friendly the workers are friendly! All around I do recommend taking scrap here to make a few extra bucks in your pocket! Just be careful it’s heavy traffic inside and sometimes you will pick up a nail or 2 in your tire or get a bump into by another vehicle (thankfully you have to be slow so it’s usually a light tap we got tapped today when we took scrap in)

I've been scrapping metal for over 20 years, for a long time the owner of this place treated me very fairly and I would bring quite a bit of material in for scrapping. The last couple times however I was certainly ripped off. I always bring clean metal yet several times I have had a "weight adjustment" where they would subtract 20+ pounds from my total, not cool. The final straw was when I took over 100lbs of clean freshly stripped copper wire and the scale guy insisted it was #4 copper for less than half it's usual value. He finally agreed to pay me at least the #2 price but when I looked at the receipt the weight had been cut in half. I liked the owner but his workers are just crooks, the only thing I will bring back here is all my trash steel as they are not good for anything else.

My experience with EMR has been top-notch I deal with Tom who is one of their field supervisors who prices out the contractors for commercial jobs he's polite honest and sincere about the way he talks to me as a contractor and I highly respect that he's never raises Towing to me ever even if there was an off-day but life will bring these two us has trials a testing of our faith which produces perseverance so I have nothing better to say than to give MMR and their employees a 5-star rating thank you Tom for all you do and your team

Great yard, nice that it is all concreted, no mud mess. Helpful and hardworking employees. Receipts are easy to read and understand what your metal weighs and how much you are being paid per pound. Good system similar to an ATM to receive your payment for your metal. I would definitely recommend selling your unwanted scrap metal to EMR Allentown Pa location

-$40 or +$4 cash?! I took my 2 old Air Conditioner units to EMR scrap yard instead of paying the City of Allentown to pick them up. (I'd have to move them to the corner myself anyway, might as well move them to my trunk.) Super helpful, friendly workers and easy process! One sign said no freon but the nice man said he'd break it down for recycling.

This was our first time recycling any metal. The guy up front couldn’t be bothered to run through how the process works, he just wanted to watch his movie. He told my wife to drive to the scale, unload, and re-weigh the vehicle. As she was doing that, one of the guys in the back told her the copper, brass, etc should be weighed separately as they fetch a higher rate. By this point she had already thrown copper in the pile and wasn’t able to reach it to claim it. The guys in the back were great. At the end, the guy at the front desk was MIA, so the car was never re-weighed, and we didn’t get credit for the less valuable metals. Not a great experience for a new person.

Shredder aluminum prices were low, but within range. I had a load of cats and Assad lowballed me on them and then paid me out cash on 'em; he's clearly running his own side hustle there. I didn't have nothin' in them, but $10 apiece for brand new, never installed aftermarket converters? Pretty sure he's buying them for cash, then selling 'em to the bossman at the actual rates they pay (they pay by check, so someone offering cash money sticks out a little), and pockets the difference. This was a perfectly average scrap experience... as at most yards, there's always someone with an angle, taking already-low prices and pushing 'em down. Whether it's mislabeling your scrap, cheating the scales, or something like this, it's par for the course.

The staff here is amazing.they are always there to help the public.It is clean and a very safe environment.If you have to recycle E MR is the place to scrap. No other scrap yard does it like EMR!Angelica at the front check in needs a raise,it's nice to see a smiling,professional face!.This is the best place to get you scrap turned into cash.

Tina McHugh

Junked a car there yesterday and the price was very fair. Having the cash kiosk there was very convenient and the whole process took less than 15 minutes even though it was very busy. Will use again

The prices are far below the market value 4 copper aluminum and brass. Aluminum they were showing $0.40 to $0.60 a pound they gave me...$.30 and so on also lot of debris in the driving areas things were cracking and snapping as I drove concerned about my tires didn't pop but won't go back.

Manuel Martin

Everytime I go to EMR I end up with nails in mi tires!I was told if I didn’t like it to go somewhere else! Millions of nailsI.When I sold my copper and aluminum I was forced to take metals to designated bins myself after it was weighed with no help. Place is terrible compared to other yards ie Tampa.

!!Beware!! if you like your vehical dont come here metal and glass everywhere in the driveways verry unkept. Also people putting carts agenst your truck to unload theres. I hope the employees don't get paid much because they didn't know anything as to where to put curtain metals they also sat there while i did their job for them and after all of this their prices are the lowest around 1 star because no stars isn't an option

Jacob ottinger

Elizabeth Livingston

I have never recycled on this level before. Everyone was really nice and walked me through the steps. So much better than paying someone $50 to haul off a piece of metal.
