LaJoie's Auto Wrecking Co., Inc. - Recycling Center in Norwalk, CT

DON’T come here if you’re a girl. Came here running an errand for my friend to sell scrap metal. Have always been told this place gives a good amount for scrap metal all of mine was completely clean sheets and chunks leftover from jewelry making a pretty hefty box. some sheets even had the store price still on it (ranging 60-80$) I left with 15$. I knew I wasn’t going to get even half of what it was worth but this felt like an actual joke. The guy at the counter laughed and said here’s some lunch money 😂 Joke is on me for trusting that they would be fair. When I got home I was told I should not have accepted that but the way it works is you have no idea what you’re going to even get for it until you have already given it away to someone in the back never to be seen again. At that point it was gone and I had basically donated it. Gave my friend 100$ because I felt terrible that I got scammed out of SO MUCH METAL and couldn’t do anything about it. do better👎🏼 Update to reflect the response from the business: there were more than 2 different types of metal as I tried to explain to the man weighing it he seemed to acknowledge it. If it was a material not normally accepted or being placed under the weight of another type of metal i would have just kept it. would not have mattered if i said something the day of wouldn’t have gotten the metal back anyways.

I had a great experience junking two trucks at LaJoie's today. From the start they were very helpful over the phone quoting a price and answering any of my questions. I felt the price they offered was very fair. Drop off was quick and easy. The second one I had picked up; The team was very kind and accommodating and also got it picked up in a timely manor. Thank you!

CAREFUL NOT A TRUST WORTH BUSINESS . I get paid $1.45 for clean Brass for over 6 months. Today I sent my girl friend to Laboies Norwalk to turn in 100 ponds of clean Brass and they paid her only $1.00 per pound I got so upset they stealing from her like this and went to talk to them to get our Brass back and return their $100 but was not able to get the brass back to sell to PC in Bridgeport. You guys should be ashamed to stealing from customers. Neither myself nor any of my friends are coming to Lajoies ever again. Don't waist your time and money dealing with this cooked people PC pays $1.50 for clean Brass Bridgeport scrap Pays 1.40 1.45 . Even the Chinese at East Washington payed 1.35 and he is the cheapest around.. Lajoies Not a trust worthy busyness I'm very disappointed you should be ashamed..
