Pacific Iron & Metal at 2230 4th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98134

Before I even ask, I’m giving this place five stars just for being open to small loads. I’ve got about 60 pounds of aluminum and 30 pounds of copper wire—nothing huge, just stuff I’ve been collecting at home. I wasn’t sure if they’d take it, but I’m hoping they do. If they do, that’s a solid five stars right there. ---

I’ve been bringing my precious metals to this place since 2008, and I won’t go anywhere else. Every time, they give me the current price per ounce or gram—no games, no excuses. That’s how it should be. They’ve been around since 1917, and it shows. I tell everyone I know about them because honesty in this business is rare, and they’ve got it in spades. Simple as that. ---

For 11 years straight, I’ve been selling my aluminum, copper, and brass to Pacific Iron & Metal, and I can’t say enough good things about them. The service? Top-notch. The prices? Fair. They weigh your load fast, calculate it right, and treat you like you’re part of the family—not just another customer. And honestly, after decades in this business, they’ve earned that trust. They don’t just talk about fairness; they live it. As someone who used to run Westsound Recycling, I know what it takes to build real relationships in this industry. These folks do it better than most. Thanks for everything—it means a lot. ---

Let’s be real—most scrap yards have their ups and downs, but the people here? They’ve got something different. I’ve dealt with plenty of yards in Seattle, and this one stands out for how friendly, clean, and professional they are. They don’t just take your metal; they treat you like you matter. And in an industry where people are always arguing over prices, they actually play it straight. It’s refreshing. Keep doing what you’re doing—it’s not easy to stand out in this business, but you do.

If you’re looking for a scrap yard that actually cares, these guys are the real deal. I run a CNC machine shop, and for over 20 years, I’ve been dumping my metal chips here. One time, I ran out of bins to hold the stuff, and instead of making me wait, they showed up the same day with a pickup and trailer to swap them out. That’s not just good service—that’s the kind of thing that makes you a loyal customer for life. Huge thanks to them for always going the extra mile. ---
