I used them for our dental office scrap metal. I called and the sent collection jar and emailed me a shipping label. Once I sent it in, they had a system set up to make an account and I was able to follow along on the portal. I had used a middle man in the past and although I am not an expert in the precious metals, the amount of scrap was roughly the same as before but I got about 4x what I was paid last time. I will be saving up more scrap and using them again in the future.

Mary Budny

21:18 22 Aug 25

Thank you Core Scientific. Kim made the process to recycle metal easy. Fantastic customer service and the return was better than expected. We will be using them again and also recommending Core to others.

We have a small jewelry shop in Michigan. Prior to starting our relationship with Core Scientific we did not have a refiner that dealt with gold-filled/gold plated items. Very happy to have the ability to give our customers something for GF jewelry items now. They also do a great job with sweeps and things.

Thank you "all "at Core Scientific for ALL you did for me. Quality people and organization. I am 100% satisfied and happy. I wish you all the bestWell, my first review above was 100% right on. 100%!! Really. I have recently used their services again. And again, they were awesome. I cannot stress that enough. They helped every step of the way. I forgot to mention previously that they send you a report of exactly what metals are present, the amount, and the breakdown of what each metal price is worth. They are honest, helpful, and just plain old "Good People". So much so it feels like you are dealing with family. That is kind of rare in the world today. Thank you ALL at Core Scientific. Your kindness and professionalism are recognized and very much appreciated. I hope to deal with you again. Let me know if you ever come out my way again. Thank you again!
