Very disappointed with Sunwest Metals Inc. I pre-weighed my scrap metal at home, yet their scales always show less weight, which means customers get underpaid. The workers are rude, dismissive, and act like they don’t care about helping anyone.
I’m not the only one — other customers have reported the same issues: workers looking for excuses not to take items, always rushing, low-balling people for scrap, and even unsafe company drivers on the freeway with unsecured loads that could cause accidents. Some reviewers even called the business dishonest and a scam.
This place does not value honesty or customer service. If you want fair pay and respect, I suggest going elsewhere

Disappointing Experience at Sunwest Metals Recycling Center
I rarely recycle, but six months ago I made a conscious decision to start doing my part. I collected eight large bags of recyclable materials—glass, aluminum, and plastic bottles—all sorted and prepared, and brought them to Sunwest Metals expecting a smooth process.
Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Two employees assisting with unloading refused to take my plastic bottles, claiming that some were from “foreign countries” and “those countries don’t pay taxes,” even though I bought all the drinks at a local supermarket and paid CRV at the register. They also rejected my glass bags, saying they had food containers, and wouldn’t let me remove or sort through the bags myself.
As a result, all eight bags were put back in my car. I left frustrated and confused about why I had even tried to recycle in the first place.
Later that same day, I found a smaller recycling center behind a liquor store, and to my surprise, the staff there unloaded all six remaining bags without a problem, sorted the materials for me, and were polite and efficient.
It’s unfortunate that a large facility like Sunwest Metals, which should encourage community recycling, made the process so unwelcoming. It felt like the staff just didn’t want to do their job and looked for excuses not to help. This kind of service discourages people from recycling.
I won’t be returning to Sunwest Metals. I’ll continue to recycle and support smaller centers that actually value customers and the environmental impact of their work.

I’ve experienced trouble getting in and out with high congestion of semi trucks and bigger trucks recycling large amount of other recyclables. The last two times that I’ve been there I’ve always gotten hassled by the guys there thinking they can control you and boss you around to tell you to move here move there. There’s really no designated place for regular customers and I think that’s what they forget is that we are customers so honking your horns and having management come outside when you’re blocking their small entrance space area has become annoying and frustrating. I won’t be coming here anymore.
