Metal Recycling at 1793 F I M Blvd, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32547

This place in Fort Walton Beach is one of those spots I always look forward to visiting. The people are great, and watching the crane in action never gets old—it’s like a little show every time. ---

If you’ve got scrap to unload, this is the spot. The staff is top-notch, and the prices are fair—no hidden tricks, just honest deals. ---

First off, the place isn’t exactly easy to spot—no big sign, and the metal piles looked more like a worker’s area since they’re just sitting on dirt, not pavement. I drove right past it and ended up at Gelato before someone there pointed me back. Not their fault, but worth knowing if you’re heading there for the first time. I’d only been to a scrap yard once, like 15 years ago, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. But as soon as I pulled in, a guy came over and asked if I needed help. He walked me through the whole process, showed me where to go, and made it simple. No confusion, no hassle—just straightforward help. I don’t bring metal in often, but now I know where I’m going next time. The staff was friendly, patient, and actually seemed to care. That’s a rare thing these days, and it made the whole trip worth it. ---

After dealing with two other scrap yards where the staff acted like I was wasting their time just for asking basic questions, I was ready to give up. But then I found Fort Walton Beach Metal Recycling, and it was night and day. Everyone there was so kind—smiling, patient, and happy to help. No eye-rolling, no sighs, just genuine friendliness. It was such a relief after the way other places had treated me. Now? I won’t go anywhere else. I’ll be back every time, and I’ll tell anyone I know to check them out. A little kindness goes a long way, and this place proves it. Thanks for making what could’ve been a frustrating experience actually enjoyable. ---

I’ve been bringing my recyclables here for over 25 years, and Mitch—the owner—along with his wife Lisa, have always been fantastic. Their sons have taken over most of the day-to-day stuff now, and they’re just as good: honest, hardworking, and the kind of people you don’t find everywhere. Good, decent folks. Thanks for everything you all do—it’s appreciated more than you know.
