Always Buying Scrap Inc at 2210 Kate St, Durham, NC 27703

I called Always Buying Scrap Inc. to ask about selling a catalytic converter, and the whole thing was a mess from the start. The woman who answered acted like I was trying to pull something—kept grilling me about paperwork, who I worked for, whether I ran a shop, instead of just telling me the price. Then my dad called and asked for a manager, but even then, it was a runaround. They’d said earlier that a serial number would be enough, but the manager just talked in circles, acting like we were bothering them for asking. Other places let you text or email a photo for a quick estimate, but here? They basically said, “Sure, come all the way down, and maybe we’ll tell you it’s worth $100.” No thanks. The whole thing felt rude, unhelpful, and like they didn’t want our business. If you’re thinking of selling to them, call around first—this isn’t how a decent business should treat customers. ---

Emma on the phone and the guys out on the lot were all really good—professional, polite, no hassle. I’ll be back. ---

Need a scrap yard that actually treats you right? This place is the real deal. Whether you’re dropping off a car or hauling in a truckload, they make it simple. No surprises, no hidden fees—just fair prices and clear answers. The staff knows their stuff and don’t waste your time. Frank was straight with me about rates upfront, no games. And if you’ve got questions, they’ll walk you through it without making you feel stupid. Honestly, it’s refreshing to deal with people who don’t nickel-and-dime you or act like you’re an inconvenience. If you’re tired of getting the runaround, give them a try. ---

I’ve been to scrap yards all over the state, and Always Buying Scrap is the only one I don’t have to second-guess. Doesn’t matter if it’s a small load or a big one—Edwin at the scales is always fair, no funny business. Same with Frank, the manager. Both of them run a tight, honest operation, which is more than I can say for most places in this business. If you want a yard that won’t lowball you or waste your time, this is it. ---

We were clearing out old office cubicles for a company move, and Mike and his team handled the whole thing smoothly. Dumpster showed up on time, in the right spot. When we were done, they picked it up fast and gave us a solid price for over 5,000 pounds of scrap. No headaches, no surprises—just easy. If you’ve got scrap to get rid of, these guys are worth calling.
