🔧 Austin Metal & Iron Co LP

The office manager took the time to explain how to prep refrigerating equipment for salvage. The unloaders have all been patient with my HF folding trailer which I getting with straps as it has no sides. I am familiar with the Dessau place and CMC as well, this is the quickest in and out.

My husband went to basically throw away some old aluminum chairs today and did not know where to go to not get a dumping fine. He didn't have much weight but not enough to write a check worth anything. We didn't care about the money, but didn't want to leave it on the table. He said the nice man still paid him and the workers helped unload his truck for him. Highly recommend this place!

8 CENTS A POUND?? Rented a U-Haul and spent 3 hours picking up scrap bulk trash metal and received $90 TOTAL for me and my buddy to split. Please mark as helpful so these crooks are exposed! Went to location on Decker. The site says they’ll have someone sort your metal and unload. They didn’t do that. And after all that we were given 8cents per pound AFTER we unloaded it. He never never told us the weight the scale shows beforehand. They paid in cash so there’s no electronic record of what they gave. Not even a written receipt. When we said that 8 cents a pound was WAY LOWER then average. He completely ignored us and counted 90 dollars cash out cheerfully like if he wasn’t just taking advantage of anyone. This is a complete scam and rip off and I will NEVER do business here again. I would not recommend this to anyone!!!! Go literally anywhere else!!!

I wasn’t told the price of scrap before just told to weigh my van and unload. Couldn’t verify my weight either. It says someone comes out to unload and sort your metal, but me and my partner had to do all of that. Then, I find out I’m only getting paid 8 cents a pound. Average price for metal (depending on what kind) was 20 cents up to over a dollar according to the national average. Reviews are glowing but I don’t see how. Def go literally anywhere else because if you sell it here it won’t even be worth loading and unloading. Total scam and a huge rip off.

Speaking about the decker lane location. I have nothing but good things to say about the entire staff, they are are always helpful and informative. Scott runs a great crew, Stretch (jim) is an extremely knowledgeable person who is always teaching me new things about the scrap business. The labor force in the field are always courteous and willing to help. I've got almost 20 years selling to these guys and will continue to do so. Highly recommended.
