Today I went over 100 pounds at Wilkinson's metal recycling and a certain employee that has consistently been trying to be very critical of everything that I bring in for over a year now made it a extreme issue that before all My metal was placed on the weight he told all the employees to gather round and watch it went over 100 pounds by eight pounds and with only one item as soon as that happened he told me that I had to take all my stuff and put it back in my car and go to the back. All he had to do was remind me of the rules and take off that one item. Instead he made a show out of me. My name is Arturo Cantu and I have been going to Wilkinson's recycling almost daily for the last year since my father passed away. I can tell you right now this is not the way you treat customers. Mr. Wilkinson your other employee lied about them having problems with me. Even though you pay us for the metal you earn close to twice what you pay us or more which is where you make your profit. Either you live off the work of your customers. We are not your employees and we don't have to put up with these behaviors that you backed up today. I don't know if I have been banned from there or not because I told all the customers to gather around and said I'm going to make a point also and said to that employee that he can pick up my metal. I had already used my time and effort the wear and tear of my vehicle cleaned it and took it down and made a weight error than made a mochaey out of at your business by your employee. It makes me feel as if you all think you all are above the common folk. A severe boycott in your business would be the end of you. You need to remember where your living truly comes from. The problems they had with me was that I didn't know my metals at first and hadn't separated them perfectly with was holding up the line. I now have a pretty good knowledge of my metals and this has only been the second time of over 256 days that I was contributing to your wealth Mr. Wilkinson. My brother is an Attorney here in McAllen I am good friends with Jim Darling the former Mayor of McAllen and a former employee of the legal department in the City McAllen and have lived here for 45 years. I know a lot of people here and really didn't appreciate todays events. I left my metal there but I hope I sent the right message to your employee that I don't take orders from him I'm a customer he takes them from me. name

Horrible service called was told that we were open. I get there. They close 20 minutes early and when I called back the lady in the office has nothing but a horrible attitude save your time and money and go somewhere else. This place is trash.

Gave me my scale reciept went to the window to cash in. I got my cash and was on my way. Very straight forward no hassles. Someone left a review on here previoulsy to come here with your cans and hes right ill say it second come here to cash in your aluminum cans. If you go early there are no lines.
