Shorty provided great service! Showed up right when he said he would (within 2 hours of first calling him), did all the loading and hauled my old fridge away for $ 25.

Excellent service picked up my fridge and some motorcycle stuff within an hour! Paid $ 25, which is very well worth it! If he does not answer on the phone, make sure to send a text and he will call back within minutes. Very satisfied with their services and will be calling or texting them again for other metal recycle services. Thank you!

I called Nephy and he was here in 20 minutes. Got rid of 3 metal cabinets.
However was charged 20 $ — but I was told about it in the call.

Finally got in touch with Shorty in person after about 5 calls. You have to talk with him directly since his voice mailbox if full. He didn’t show for the first two appointments but did call and finally show up. Very pleasant hard working guy who took all my junk (~ 3,000 pounds) but I did have to help load it up. I paid him $ 20 because he said metal prices were pretty low right now and I consider that a bargain for all he did. I would definitely use him again. Just be persistent with your calls and patient with arrival times.

Bullshit add. it says FREE metal pickup. after calling numerous times finally someone answered the fucking phone a week later they tell me it’s a 20 dollar charge if I would of known I would of never wasted my time. I got an idea fix your add so people don’t waste their time calling or better yet get a real job stop trying to make a living off metal

I tried to call several times, but no answer (and VM was full). But I figured he’s busy picking up other peoples’ metals so I kept calling until he picked up, which was the next day.
He asked for $ 20 upfront due to metal price down, but I needed my unwanted metal products gone ASAP, and cheaper than 1800 Junk guy, so I gladly paid for it. And he arrived right on time, which was a huge plus.
If he doesn’t pick up, text him with your address and item. That seems to be a better way to communicate with him.

I was looking for someone to haul away a really old 70’s metal desk (one that you would survive during an earthquake for the elementary school days of duck, tuck and cover) and an old bed frame. Called Nephy at 9:30 AM and since he was around the area, he stopped by at 10:30 AM, picked up the two items and was gone in about 10 mins. Nice guy, but most importantly, picked up the items FREE of charge!

Shorty was there within ½ hour of my call.
Courteous and yes ! Mine was FREE.
My husband wasn’t too happy to find me giving away his rusted metal crap.
But I WILL be calling Shorty again!

Not free as gentlemen who answered the phone said. the price of metal is down. False advertising.

Called several times and no answer. Also the voicemail box is full so you can’t leave a message.

Shorty returned my call then showed up on time, and picked up the (3) water heater tanks and a big-​ass TV as he had promised. I gave him $ 20 to help out with gas.

Called Shorty to have an under-​counter refrigerator picked up. He was here in 20 minutes and off it went. Doesn’t get any better than that.

This guy was so prompt, was able to squeeze me in for a same day pickup. And because we had so much metal laying around, he was more than happy to stay longer and pickup more than what we originally planned. I hope he’s getting his money’s worth recycling all this metal. This guy is sturdy, does the job himself, and hauls huge weight loads. He deserves a tip!

I called Shorty’s to schedule a pickup for a freezer and an old CRT TV. He dropped by at our scheduled time (10am on a Friday) and did the job! He takes any e-​waste so I had him take away some old electronics as well. Great service!

Called yesterday and he scheduled to come today between 9 — 11. He was here at 10 and loaded two large appliances on his truck by himself. Took away quite a few items for me. Nice guy! I will call him again.

Called Nephy for a free refrigerator pickup. Just refrigerator. He decided to scout around and he picked up more metal pieces from my yard. caught on security camera. NOT COOL AT ALL.
