If you need to recycle anything look no further! TM SCRAP METALS in sun valley was well worth the drive for me. I live in Sylmar and I drive a few miles to recycle my hvac condensers. Reasons why because first off all management and staff are very friendly . The guy weighing your recyclables is so humble and hardworking. Very helpful! The owner VLAD is welcoming. He made sure he took care of my prices for coming back to him the second time. Great guy! Appreciate his business a lot! Highly recommend TM SCRAP METALS if your looking for good prices and friendly staff. THANKS VLAD!!!!!

I'm giving them 3 stars because of their customer service . They are friendly and very attentive. If your new to recycling metal, they take time to explain the differences between the metals. But in all honesty, many places do that. So nothing new here. The -2 stars is for their payout prices. RIDICULOUSLY low compared to other places and what the value of metal is that day. I check the value of metal the same day I go recycle my metal and let me tell you that there is a BIG GAP on their payouts. All the reviews stating that they pay great haven't been to other places. Do yourself a favor and download the iScrap App. You'll see the prices of metal and when you compare them. You'll be disappointed.

This place is horrible. They don't pay anything close to what other scrap yards pay. Owner of this business picks on their customers and doesn't treat everyone that goes in equally. The only people that are treated somewhat decent are the business owners that don't care about how much they get paid, that will come and dump all their metal, get their money and leave. But if yore just getting metal from here and there and recycling is what u do, yore way better off to go and recycle somewhere else. There are 6 or 7 scrap yards right around this place that will get you more money and way better customer service than to rip you off like this place. It's hard work, hard labor and they don't really understand that here. MIKE I totally disagree with you. I am sorry.

Terrible customer service. Called ahead of time and checked website, when I arrived they took my wire weighed it and dumped it then told me the price. Shorted me about 10 cents a pound on my copper then put a 3 day hold on my money. No one said anything about this prior to me dumping the wire. When I asked for my money or the wire back they said they couldn't return the wire and the only thing they would do was get me my cash in 3 days. Had to take off work again because of the hours to pick up my money and they still wouldn't adjust the rate. And the straw on the camels back, I got a flat tire from one of the many nails they have all over the parking/dumping area. There are plenty other recycling centers near by I would recommend any of them over this place.
