SOHO Metal Recycling TX 77573

I want to start this by saying I arrived at SOHO about 8 minutes before they closed so that is clear. (dishwasher fell out of my truck so had to turn around to pick it up causing my arrival time.) When I arrived I was informed that they were closed. My truck was full of scrap, was short on money, just lost a dishwasher and needed money so I asked to be let in... still 8 minutes before closure and was reluctantly let in and it was not pleasant. My truck was quickly surrounded by 6 angry employees. While unloading they didn't separate materials, simply putting it all into the scrap iron bin ***I speak both English and Spanish and spoke to them in both*** letting them know that they were costing me money. Deaf ears. These guys were pissed off at my arrival time, made it clear by their language, their method of unloading my truck and the looks I was given. I have been recycling for years and never and I mean never have I been treated like this. I had another guy with me who recycles nothing but copper wire and also an old hand to the game and we were both in pure disbelief. After the truck was unloaded and materials began to be weighed it became obvious the employees were intentionally making my visit costly. The weights reported were off, the wire grades were off and by the time it was done SOHO cost me a little over $100.00. The ticket I received from them for my load read $54.00. I spoke to the managerand he told me that no, his employees not make mistakes. Lastly one of his employees blocked the partially blocked the driveway forcing me around half drive half grass knowing I had been cheated and with little else I could do but to help others from having the same experience. If you decide to go anyway here is some help. Firstly, arrive at least 30 minutes before they close. Second, be willing to be paid the lowest price paid out be all surrounding scrap yards. I have checked current prices and they are at the bottom. Lastly, if you are quick to anger and often find yourself in legal problems, just do not go. I gave them a two rating only because they let me in and I couldn't have gotten anywhere else. Happy New Year and may it be prosperous!

This is one of the few scrapyards in the area that actually lets you browse and purchase scrap metal for your projects, rather than just accepting drop-offs. If you're a hobbyist, fabricator, or DIYer looking for raw materials, this place is a goldmine. The selection is impressive - they have a good variety of different metals and materials to choose from, which makes it easy to find what you need for whatever project you're working on. The staff is genuinely helpful and pleasant to work with, which honestly makes a big difference when you're trying to sort through inventory and figure out what you need. The pick-and-pay model is fantastic for anyone who does metalworking, repairs, or creative projects. Instead of paying retail prices at a metal supplier, you can find exactly what you need here at scrap prices. It's refreshing to find a yard that understands and accommodates customers on both sides of the equation. Highly recommend if you're in need of affordable metal materials. Will definitely be back for future projects.
