American Recycling - Tampa

Don't trust this place at all it was scammers on the weight when she went inside I checked the scale it was 67 lbs for my copper when I got the receipt it stated 60 lb with the bucket without the bucket 56 lb where is my extra 7 lbs at didn't do any confrontation about the situation I'm just letting you know and be aware not to trust these people they have the scale so that they look at the scale and not you also like the rest of the metal recycling place I only got here when I really need to I hardly come here because of the situation

I own / Operate ClearHome813.com a Junk /Debris Removal / Demo and Recycling company serving Tampa/ St Pete and in this business having multiple options for unloading is everything. We've used them multiple times in a pinch.

They pay sometimes better than other scrap yards but this place is ridiculous. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a place that has Spanish speaking employees. But the big problem is that this place is mostly of only Spanish speaking employees that do not understand English. There's a older gentleman that will stand there and watch dog everything you are removing and will just stand and watch extremely close as he stands next to you. Does not really offer help either. First of all with covid still being a issue and the fact while unloading it will either get himself or myself hurt dropping things they get in the way and do not keep a safe distance. And if there is something they can't accept they will just say no and they cannot explain why... Not to mention just went there first thing in the AM and they were all about 20 minutes late to open the gates. There's barely any space and there's no good way to communicate. There should be someone who can speak clear English or Spanish in the yard and near the scales. I've had questions about why certain items were weighed a certain way and there's no way to communicate if you cannot communicate with a bilingual speaking person. This place needs tuning up with it's employees needs a better layout or new location. You shouldn't operate a business that exchanges money if you cannot communicate clearly about your products.
