Cropsey Scrap Iron & Metal Corporation

beware and be carefull they have no problem ripping you off. they tell you one price over the phone and when you get there they make an excuse to underrcut the price. they already took you metal now what can you do. when you get there have them look at what you got and get a price on the spot. if you dont like it drive away.
then the cheap stuff they give you the fair price, but the copper and brass they rob you at every turn. Also the scrap guy takes out what he feels dosent belong there but instead of giving it back to you they put it in another area without compensation.
why cant you be an honest business, cant steal enough money, you are a bunch of thieves! stay away go elsewhere

I can’t hold it in forever… eventually I have to breathe… area smells like brunt rubber or metal…
This place is a Good way to get rid of stuff and make some money while you are getting rid of some unnecessary craps… scrap metal includes all types of metals … non ferrous and even precious metals… Iron… Steel… aluminum… Copper… brass… bronze… scrap autos and vehicles… etc are all able to be sold at the scrap yard!
the weekends are the worst… long car lines waiting to sell scraps… you can actually wait in line for about two hours depending on the staff… and an extra hour getting rid of the craps. so be aware you will spend a good few hours or even awhile day here…

This place is another Brooklyn institution, been here for as long as I can remember. The value of scrapping was always on my radar and with the television series that came and went, I had to try to bring some metal in for cash at least once.
My grandfather was a metal worker, so finding tons of useful scrap metal in my basement was no problem on the first sweep. I loaded the trunk of my car with a few old drawers of metal bits and pieces and drove over to Coney to see what the hell I could possibly do with this stuff. The guys on the yard helped me out a lot, they looked briefly at my stash, put me on the scale and then had me back up the car to the pile. Another guy, extremely helpful, helped me sort the metal and tossed the magnetic stuff out of the trunk onto the floor. I was thinking to myself that the guy was making a damn mess, but the big magnet picked it all up and tossed it on top of another pile. Then a small fork lift with a crumpled up fence swept any other junk out of the way. It was unreal watching this.
After the metals were sorted, I had about $ 75 worth of copper, brass, steel and aluminum.
Not bad for a little spring cleaning.
