They were very helpful and friendly. I hadnt been there before, so I was unfamiliar with how their system works - they were patient and helpful. I have almost no voice right now (after surgery) and with all the background noise they had a hard time hearing & understanding me, but they listened very well and even shut down a forklift to hear me. After repeating my questions a couple of times they answered them and made me feel welcome. Thats good business, and seems to be rare these days.
Best price around for bright and shiny copper. They were very fair with negotiating pricing, girls at front desk were very nice as well. Nice big and clean, organized area for parking and dumping. Definitely worth the drive if having to travel.
Excellent buying prices on scrap metal. FAST SERVICE
Super friendly and helpful, all 5 people I ran into. Made. Me feel like a regular.
I never expected there to be good customer service at a metal recycling place so I was pretty blown away when I did get that from Sammy and the office manager guy (which I forgot his name). They helped out a great deal, went out of their way (I think) and their prices are competitive. 10/10 would recommend, even if you’re a first-timer.
The people working there are safety minded, high speed, low drag, great, hard working people. My speed !!
The fork lift drivers there were two that were rude and mouthy but the rest were very nice.
Quick, courteous service, itemized purchase tickets, and one of the cleanest and best organized scrapyards youll ever see. I just wish they had weekend hours!
I have always had a good experience there. I have been going to Calbag Metals and using their services for over 25 years. I drive down from Snohomish just to go to them. I made the mistake of trying other places beforehand. I will continue to give my business for life.
Had a pretty big load of scrap metal that’s been collecting around the lot and knew it was time to do something with it before it got out of hand. I’ve recycled trailer loads of scrap metal a couples times before and just didn’t feel like the previous business was being honest and fair on pricing. So I decided this next time to do a little research and get quotes. I have to be honest, I was quite surprised how fast and professional Shawn W. was responding back to my email. He told me what to process in order to get a higher price on certain metals. I had a lot of questions for him and he always went above and beyond to answer them and even reached out to give me a call! When arriving there to unload I still was not sure what to expect due to past experiences, but that quickly changed when the weigh master greeted me at the scale pull up window. This place can be very intimidating with the sure size and fork lifts driving all around especially for someone new like me, but you will see it’s a well oiled machine and they know what they are doing. The weigh master instructed me what to do and where to go and even had time to throw in a few jokes and laughs about my fanny pack! lol I got everything unloaded and was greeted by a couple more workers who helped sort, weigh and go over pricing on the remaining scrap metal. Everyone from the first contact until the last was friendly, professional and honest and I couldn’t be any happier with the service they provided! Will definitely be returning on the next load of metal!! Thanks you Calbag Metals crew!! You went Above and beyond with the service you provided!
You cant find a better place to take your scrap metal.The gentlemen that work there are very helpful in seeing that you get the best amount for your scrap and are very helpful in helping you sort and learn which metals are what and how to tell the difference .so igf.you got any questions about scap metals ask JT at calbag metatls and watch out for that crazy guy.on the forklift hes liable to make you laugh but is very helpful and knowledgeable of the metals i believe his name is victor so a big thankyou goes out to you 2 thanks
Recycle all your scrap wire and metals and get paid.
Professionally courteous efficient and competitive recycling prices.
It was easy to drop of some metal scrap.
Great place very quick
Front desk baldy was very unprofessional. He couldve been more customer service oriented and answer my questions more politely.
I had 100+ lbs of good aluminum and they don’t care, wont sort it. Just lump it in with all metal and pay only 3.5 cents a pound. Take good metal some place else
Better prices than some recycle yards. Normally not to busy.
So I decided to give Calbag Metals a try since they take both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. I experienced possibly the worst customer service I’ve ever. It took like 5 minutes for an employee to come to the loading dock so I could unload. Then they classified all the high grade 100% aluminum screen as “irony sheet” at $0.10 per pound. When I’ve gone to Tacoma Metals this same material gets classified as aluminum sheet. The real kick in the teeth came when I went to the cashier to get paid. They said “check or cash” and gave me what I thought was $15 for my $14.97 order. When I counted it out though, there was only $14 there and I asked and the cashier said they do not give out coins and that it was too late to switch to check. This is total BS because I never heard her say “no coins”. She should have been courteous and should have said, “Are you sure you want cash? If we pay you in cash, you will lose 97 cents because we don’t give out coins.” Having been treated in such a disrespectful way, I will never come back here and Tacoma Metals will get all my future business.Update in reply to Response from the owner:I looked at my receipt and nowhere does it say no coins with cash payment. If this information is posted near the cashier window it must be in small print because I did not see it. I felt I was intentionally left in the dark about Calbags no coins with cash payment policy and that is the main reason for my negative review.
Super nice, professional and honest! Pay good prices too!
Been here twice now this week and in and out pretty quick. Got decent/typical prices for what I dropped off. Staff was easy to deal with and pretty nice. Clean areas too. Will probably keep coming back.
Love, Love, LOVE Calbag! I have been to a few other places and will not go anywhere else... and I am in Poulsbo. As with Roberto Rosales review below, the dude on the forklift is awesome!! He is very helpful, very respectful. I am a woman and my first few trips to other locations were not pleasant. The gentleman on the forklift is always smiling and helpful and the rest of the staff is professional. To top it off, their rates are competitive and I usually get more from Calbag. I own a non-profit so the wire/metal etc. is donated to us and we turn it in for funding. Thank you for your hard work and customer loyalty!
Great staff
Great guys. Transparent and helpful on the phone about pricing before you head in. Overall professional interaction with them in person.
Honest personable employees. I will return
My son and I bring our aluminum cans here and have always been very happy with the friendly, efficient service we receive. We never wait long and the prices are always competitive.
Sammy at Calbag, very helpful, quick, polite, and professional!!
Friendly staff quick service I’m in and Out its the only place I’ll bring my scrap metal been a Couple other places and Calbag is the best one out of all of them
Love the employees here! Always a good experience. The market dictates the prices, so it goes up and down, but they seem to be very fair and competitive.
Fast service and very helpful employees
Always a good conversation with employees
Great staff, very helpful and friendly
Didnt work out for me. Just wasted gas.
This place is a rip off they have you & your metals into totes and buckets that weight maybe 2 or 3 pounds then they will deduct 7 pounds or more from your weight, not including the weight they take off from copper wires that still have the rubber casing in them. Not one have I been even a little satisfied from this place. I also think the have their scale purposely off. Dont do business with these guys
Always great to come to here. They always go Ive the best prices on your scrap metal.
Very nice people no matter how much steel you have
Calbag is pretty competitive, as prices go they pay top dollar, always a spot open to dump your scrap metal in to a bin, fork lift operators are quick never leave you waiting, the man that runs the scale he is very helpful and curtious, all employees that work there are more then ready to help u, check out the office are very helpful as well
Super friendly
Competitive prices, simple process, hardworking and friendly staff. The usually dirt and disarray at a metal recycling faculty
Great service and competitive prices describes this place.
Very respectful people Ill give them all my business
When with 3880 pounds of diesel brake drums and exhaust manifolds as well as a complete after treatment system 3880 pounds worth at .04 cents per pound is over 150 dollars i got 77.60 for 3880 pounds what a crock
API dude on the forklift there is the homie, super helpfull.
Ive gone to Calbag for years... They have the best customer service around, they can take car parts, and because they record transactions you get paid the same day.
So far the best one unfortunately its far from my home
Awesome people, very friendly, great experience.
Good service excellent
