American Metals Company at 740 W Broadway Rd, Mesa, AZ 85210

Left a message, never heard back. Tried calling twice more and still nothing. I get it gets crazy busy, but they really need someone just to answer the phones—even a voicemail return would’ve kept me from driving out there twice.

As someone new to this, hauling over a load of scrap steel felt a little overwhelming at first. But right away I could tell they knew their stuff and took the time to walk me through everything. Took my busted-up pool fence and turned it into a nice lump sum, no hassle.

Look, they’re not the chattiest bunch, but they know their stuff. If you walk in there without a clue what you’re after, don’t expect them to hold your hand—you’ll get the side-eye real quick. Just know what you want, and you’ll be fine. ---

Julio was a total lifesaver when I dropped off some scrap metal. Dude didn’t just help me unload—he was polite, patient, and just an all-around good guy. Made the whole process way easier than I expected. ---

Honestly, I was a little skeptical when I showed up with a truck full of scrap metal—first time doing this, and some of the online reviews made me think twice. Turns out, I had nothing to worry about. The two guys who helped me were actually really friendly, even when I had to ask the same question twice. And the exit scale? Dead on. I hopped out of my truck, and it only missed my weight by about ten pounds. Not bad at all. ---

First time recycling scrap, and I’ll admit, I felt a little out of my depth. But the staff at American Metal made it simple. No attitude, no rushing me—just straightforward help. They even walked me through where to go and what to do, which was a huge relief. Not what I expected from a place like this. Thanks for making it easy on a newbie. ---

I’m no pro, just a guy who’s been buying steel and scrap in Mesa for over 30 years. This place has always been solid—good people, no hassle. I do miss digging through the piles for random parts, but I get it’s a safety thing. Still, they’ve never turned down a custom cut or given me grief over how I want something handled. And the new steel department crew? Solid bunch. Just treat ‘em right, and they’ll do the same. Oh, and those boxcar walls? Pretty cool touch. Thanks, team.
