Rakowski Recycling

Use to think that Rakowskis was an amazing place... till they set me up... lied to me stole from me all the time... but I just let it roll on by cause I liked the place but now it's done... the blond that works there is evil... I call her the warden cause that's how she acts to everyone.... enjoy

Just dropped my first load here. The staff were super friendly, and very helpful for my first time. They don't talk down to you and were happy to explain the process!

Well I don’t agree to have a metal industry near homes , that cause our air to get particles that are dust in air sometimes u just smell the metals in the air and brings in a lot of transient’s in the neighborhood they will even steal anything to get the money they need ,

Very congested when I was there. Coming and going.

I've been ripped off more than once at this place I couldn't see once or twice being a mistake. . Ive taken my business anywhere else.

its a friendly place but, every time I bring in bright copper and #2 copper... it doesn't matter if I try to separate them for the right value, they just pay me for #2 copper.

Battery price was 12 cents/lb vs 18 cents/lb at Industrial Metals and 20 cents/lb at Urbanmine. No payout match for customer of 12 years. Probably won't be going back.

was very happy with my first visit there. Lady at the wicket explained where I would drive to off load and then come back and get my copper and brass looked at. Chris was very helpful and explained that it I spent a bit more time and took the brass apart from the other metal i would get more for clean" brass. i will go back again."

I have been here a handful of times now, and for the most part the staff have always been super helpful. The yard does feel a little cramped at times (mainly when there's a line of people wanting to exit the yard) but other than that everything has been pretty great. They are also the only scrap yard I know of in Winnipeg that has their prices posted on the website which is a BIG deal to me, it saves me having to phone in, and saves them getting called about it which is why I don't know why others do it. They are missing some prices of the more obscure things but that's not really a big deal. When it's not busy the guy's at the small scale have been very helpful in teaching me things like organizing properly. Highly recommended!

I brought in some clean scrap and the attendant told me there would be a reduction for mud mixed in with the scrap. The operator said it was clean when he unloaded it. The attendant told me they would unload it with a magnetic machine. The operator used a grapple instead and put a HUGE hole into my trailer. Two broken deck boards and some bent metal. I asked them if they would do anything and they said no because I signed a waiver for damage on the way in. Brutal. Don't go there unless you want to fix your equipment everytime.
