Berlinsky Scrap

Berlinski Scrap has been a go to for me for years but they are now closed for business

I've been going here for years. Some tight maneuvering at times. And sometimes there's a little wait. But the workers are friendly. And the pricing is always very fair! The pricing changes throughout the day.... which isn't a bad a thing in my opinion! It's good business to have honest and fair prices. I've even called in the morning got a price and arrived in afternoon and pricing has dropped because of the daily market. And they still honored the price given over the phone. They also have been given a price on phone and I received a better price upon arrival because the market has climbed.
Can't ask for much more than that...

I have been here many times. I can honestly say that i never had an issue until today. Part of this is my own fault because i didnt read the receipt properly. I brought probably 100lbs of copper to them. It overflowed the wheel barrel by quite a bit. The ticket read 101lbs so i didnt question it at first. It took me maybe a minute to bring it to somwone. The subtraction of the wheel barrel left the weight at 49lbs. By this time they already dumped the copper. I had to settle with a mere 49lbs. Now i have worked construction all of my life, i know how much this would have weighed. One guy tried telling me that copper doesnt weigh that much, he must have thought he was talking to a normal guy. They wouldnt even try to recreate the amount in the barrel, but only suggested that they can weigh the barrel again.

Needless to say, although i have used them numerous times, i am not sure if i could be persuaded to go back.
