Got ripped off blatantly and to add insult to injury traffic was horrendous. CMC recycling is the worst I would give them less than one star if I could. They paid less than what the aluminum catamaran was worth, we took a trailer full of the exact same stuff but less weight to ALL AMERICAN yesterday and got paid triple what CMC bent us over for. I am appalled. The only little shred of decency worth mentioning bout this place is the lady who works up front. She was friendly and helpful everyone else clearly needed some intense customer service coaching and educational videos about metal grades and their values.. they paid with a check that couldn't be cashed for two hours for some reason, which is strange considering the check was pocket change and we gave them our goods, it would stand to reason that the money should be available immediately but whatever. Lesson learned

See your weight going in, see your weight coming out, and a print out of the entire transaction... Full transparency, which apparently is not the norm in the metal recycling world. They will also hold your tickets so you can cash out many smaller tickets all at one time.. I really like that.

This place is a rip off. In Dallas I got 15 cents per pound this place paid 3 cents per pound. 8 day difference for stainless steel.

This is my favorite metal recycling yard, the staff are always helpful and polite, they give more for my metal than other places south of here, and the folks up front in the office are friendly every time! So easy, just pull up and weigh, or drive to the back for smaller metals!!!
