Gave half the price for recycling aluminum cans
- - I recycled aluminum cans and got 12 cents per pound.
- - Modern Recycling quoted 22 cents per pound.
- - Sims paid 50% of the market rate.
I took aluminum cans for recycling. They gave me 12 Cents per pound.
Called modern recycling they quoted 22 Cents per pound for aluminum. Called place in Philadelphia gave me price for aluminum cans 24 Cents per pound. Sims gave me 50 % of the market. M Dunn Recycling and scrap metal gave me 24 Cents.
I called and complained they said that's all they are paying. Aluminum prices in US are posted every day. How someone can steal money from uneducated consumer.
Can you imagine people who feed themselves by picking up aluminum cans from the streets to feed themselves, what difference it will make to them . Called their home office no one answer phone, pricing dial 1, after you dial 1 phone disconnects you .
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Call around recycling places , before you take metals for recycling.

Sims metal management[they hirer ex cons]
- - They hire mostly temps.
- - Some workers are high and ex-convicts.
- - Do not take scrap metal there or apply; they won't hire you.
First, they hirer nothing but temps,and some of their employees get high and are ex convicts.Don't take your scrap metal there, don,t even try to apply for work they wont hirer you.The one person I know is working for the temp service labor finder or labor ready one of those places.He's been working there for a year or two.Alot of their workers are temps that like to get high.I guess that sorry *** company dont want to pay for insurance.Never give those guys your buisness them sorry ***.P.S. all you ex cons go apply there.
My husband was just fired from there yesterday,they used him for 6 months and without a reason they fired him, the manager there picks one person and bullies them my husband was it.you got guys out there that smoke pot and when it is time for a drug test she makes them wait a week and then take it.and they pass.but you have one person who wants to work and they set him up with bs.and fire him we will be contacting our lawyer. :(
