Manatee Metals LLC

MINUS ZERO STARS!!! This place advertises they are open until 2:30 on Saturdays. I was there at 12:30 p.m. with a backseat full of the cans I collect during my dog walking excursions. I pick up cans and discarded plastic bottles when I walk my pup to help keep my neighborhood clean and keep the storm drains clear of trash so they don’t flood when it rains. Anyway, the plan was to collect the aluminum cans to cash in and make a donation to an animal related charity with the proceeds. So, load up the back seat with bags of cans to go hit the metal recycling yard. The place is closed! No sign, no answer on the phone, phone message box is full. While I am there, 3 other vehicles loaded with metal also pull up. Obviously we were all under the impression this business actually was open during the hours it says it is open. At the very least they could have posted a sign to let people know why they were closed and when they were re-​opening. This is very inconvenient to everyone who took the time to load up ‘garbage’ in their vehicles and now either have to unload it again and re-​load it another day or try and find another scrap metal place.
Fool me once, Manatee Metals… this is no way to run a business.
