About this center

CMC Recycling's Shreveport yard sits at the corner of Hollywood Avenue and Jewella Avenue and buys nonferrous metals, ferrous scrap, and automotive lead batteries. Posted price categories include No. 1 and No. 2 copper, yellow and red brass, brass radiators, aluminum cans, sheet and cast aluminum, clean lead, aluminum wheels, and 304 stainless steel. The location has recycled metal for over two decades under CMC, a company founded in Dallas in 1915. Sellers show a valid state-issued ID and arrive in a vehicle, since the yard takes no walk-up customers. Copper carries a five business-day hold and pays by check. The yard refuses hazardous waste, transformers, ballasts, compressed gas cylinders, NiCad batteries, mercury, and liquids. Hours run Monday to Friday 8 to 4.

Review

Pulled onto the scales at 9 780 lb. Unloaded galvanized steel & pulled onto the scales & it settled @8240. The guy punched it in a hurry so it said 8260. After receiving the slip with the incorrect weight I pulled back through to tell the guy at the scale he messed up & instead of fixing his mistake he copped out by telling me they could fix it at the pay desk. At first they didn't even seem to understand how a higher weight on the back side screws me out of 20 lb. They neither fixed it nor even so much as acknowledged their mistake but instead attempted to excuse the it by telling me how inaccurate their scales are. Eventually someone came up that was still unwilling to acknowledge their mistake but bought off the problem by offering more money. I've included a photo of their own scale differing from what their slip said. Yes it was a positive outcome but a terrible lesson for my son who I brought along to teach about fair trade/capitalism

I seriously hope I never come back here. This place is a joke. 4 hours to get loaded and another hour waiting on paperwork. In the midst of the loading process they took lunch.
