Wellston Scrap Metal 63133

I have been taking my scrap to welston for a couple years now. I love the guys, who always go above and beyond to help me, and I had undying loyalty for the place. Until today. My pay outs have been way lower than I expected the past several times. I am usually pretty good at predicting, and don't have to do math, but this time I decided to see what was up. Weighed all my precious and watched the scale. When I got my receipt, they had given me credit for about half of what I actually had in copper and aluminum. If it had been one or the other it might have been an accident. For both, I'm not buying it. Somebody is running game, and getting fat off my hard work. Shame on u, welston. Say goodbye to one loyal customer.

Definitely more competitive rates, if you haven't been recently I'd suggest stopping by and checking it out, I do enjoy the owner, employees, customers, and the environment alike. Whether you come in with a little bit or a heap, whether you have a disagreement or everything is agreeable it stays as good spirited as you are... If you throw temper tantrums and like to be hostile it can be as accommodating but I'd ask you just take that somewhere else. May have to stand on what you know and prepare to get proven right or wrong a few times but it will get determined before you proceed, I promise that. Even had spent some time in Fortune Metals when I was younger (a commercial scrap company that in the past has made a name for itself... Not sure about today) I've been wrong over half... Am looking for some work, doesn't have to be scrap... Carpenter by trade, electrician schooled, agile, climb n carry, crawler, and willing to work with others that are like wise human, handy, self aware, and can have discussions... I'm not a slave nor your.... I can also do your I'm not bout these chores list of horror. I don't expect anything on that, if you get this far... I need a truck and a barn too lol I'll keep my tires out of the tar, Good luck, don't be good and don't get caught.

36 bucks for 6 batteries?first and last time i go to wellston scrap metal. I gave another scrap yard 3 batteries and got 45 bucks because they charge by the lb. I think all scrap yards should charge 0.25 if not 0.50 for each battery. not just car batteries either. tractor batteries as well. not satisfied at all.

I have found that all of my experiences with this company have been positive and the employees were friendly and knowledgeable. So if you have any concerns that the owner is rite there in the office. Family owned I go there almost every day and so should you. Thanks!

They will rip you off!!!!!! Tipping the scales is a regular thing at this scrap yard! If you want to get your money's worth ,I would not go here ! find another place!

Couldn't dump my dump trailer, you have to unload. Place was very disorganized, was given no direction on their process and when they lined me on the scale they made it a point for me to not be on there completely. Then, after finally weighing in, they informed I was to follow their scrap truck to another yard. Felt very uneasy with the entire atmosphere.

Better price than we had gotten at the other place we have been going to, workers were polite and very helpful unloading the truck. This place was open when literally no where else was; and they are open an hour later on a daily basis than the place we had normally been going to... The yard was picked up, no trash or nails, etc. Very impressive and much appreciated. Will be going several times in the future.

Every time we come from Illinois over to your scrap yard before y'all close on Sundays they say your systems are down this is the second time I've came over before noon and it's never open need to change your times on your page very unprofessional

Brian Renick

Very good staff. A clean and honest place to scrap. Always like that they can tell you about the prices. Love the people there excellent yard!

On an Easter sunday and not many places were open. If you want fast and easy, this your go to place. However we are pretty sure some items we brought out wasn't weighed out and counted therefore shorted. They provided a receipt as well as a list of what they will pay for. If there is a next time I will definitely go by their list and make sure it's counted correctly

The guys/workers are helpful & diligent. The few times I've been to the scrap yard they have been persistent & constantly stay busy. The cashier ladies have only been consistent with undervaluing and depreciating the types of metal & the amount of weight we've brought in. Bad business

Competitive prices and helpful when unloading Steel. This place can be busy close to closing time so try to arrive at least an hour before. Thank you for increasing your Sunday hours.

Carson Felchlin

I can't understand why anyone would say the prices are competitive for instance batteries always go for. 25 to.32 a lb they give you 7 a battery, the copper prices are half of what anyone else charges, just call other places like PCs on Broadway and you would be blown away at the difference in prices, the only thing good about the place is that there are open on Sundays, I can't understand why people sell their stuff there

Went there several times to give a try but each time it got worst. A few rude workers especially on the small scale. Dirty place, scale never shows actual weight. not happy and that is why I will not come back again and I would recommend you to be very careful and don't expect a lot from them. I had to give al least one star, but that is not even close! Good luck

The gal who wuz writing down my lbs. for my copper shorted me 16 lbs when I pointed it out,her and her vo worker proceeded to tell me how wrong I was. Also I called before I showed up and she told me that #2 copper was $2.95 and wen I got my reciet read $2.85. so all together WSM shorted me about 50 bucks Muststa bought lunch

Steven Tillotson

It's not bad. It can get really screwy in the place when a bunch of people show up at once with trailers. A decent place though. A great alternative to Brock's, those idiots can kiss my ass. Another thing about wellston, its convenient unlike Brocks, they suck a you know what.

Dick Dickey

Worse scrap yard in stl by far ...turn your scrap in and wait 40 min to get paid really was not even busy. Not to mention they are the only scrap yard that doesn't give you a metal scrap price over the phone don't waste your time here Vince jacks or southern will pay top dollarabd get you back on the road

J

John Strong

They don’t give prices over the phone on what they pay. That’s messed up. Good luck public. Lol. Very bad

I wish they would update their prices it's like they're fixed and don't ever update them. But they are ones open on Sunday so thats a big plus.

Mrs Mona and Mr Norman always take care of their customers and treat you like old friends not clients. The price is always competive And in sync with your market

Lowest prices around. Employees are less than helpful, yet always ask for a tip. I drive to St Charles now.
