Northside Scrap Metals Inc. at 825 Pennsylvania Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15233

Didn’t know what I was doing but they made it simple. Got my money without any fuss, which was perfect for someone new to scrapping. Fair deal all around.

Down in the north end and need to dump some scrap? Hit this spot. Cash shows up fast, prices make sense, and the owner’s straight up. Saved me a trip elsewhere.

I called and got straight answers over the phone, then dropped by on my way home. Walked out with cash in my pocket in under 10 minutes and a price that felt right. Marty was cool about it. No reason not to go back.

I’ve been bringing in small amounts of copper scrap here for a while now, and they always treat me right—no attitude, no hassle. The prices are solid, and they get you paid fast. The little office where they hand over the cash? It’s got *character*—let’s just say it’s not the kind of place you’d want to start trouble with the staff. Trust me, you don’t want to find out. ---

After years of dragging metal to different yards, I finally found the one I’m sticking with. These folks in western PA don’t mess around—good prices, no games, and they treat you with respect. I’ve tried others, but I’m done looking. This is it. ---

First time dropping off a big load of industrial copper wire here, and I was impressed. The scale inside is small but fair—they told me upfront about the tare weights and what they’d dock for the spools (wood, steel, plastic). Some yards make you unload everything just to nickel-and-dime you later, but these guys let me sell it as-is. That’s a rare thing in a city this size. Met Marty, the owner, and since I brought a decent quantity, he worked with me on the price instead of giving me the bare-bones "walk-in" rate. No surprises, no hidden fees—just straight talk. Feels like the kind of place where they actually care about making it easy for you. I’ve been selling metal for 15 years, and this is the first spot where they walk you through the whole process without trying to sneak anything past you. I’ll be back every time I’m in town. ---

This is the only scrap yard in PA where I don’t feel like I’m getting screwed just because I’m a woman. Fast, fair, and no nonsense—exactly what you want. I’ve dealt with enough places where they lowball you or act like you’re wasting their time, but here? They just pay up and let you get on with your day. Can’t ask for more than that. ---

Been coming to this Pittsburgh scrap yard since 2018, and nothing’s changed—still the best prices for used metal, and they move fast. No waiting around, no excuses. If you’re selling, this is the place to go.
