For many years I have processed my paper, cardboard and aluminum recyclables through low-budget,…read moreoff the beating path, dirty and unfriendly businesses, this was until I discovered United Fibers in Chandler. I never imagined a company in this industry could be so professional, clean and customer focused than these guys. They're very competitive in paying top dollar for my recyclables. I also discovered they now recycle and pay for clothing, which is odd. Reviewing the company's website it's my understanding they recycle paper, cardboard and clothing to make insulation... all transformed under one roof. How refreshing to see my old newspapers converted into a sustainable eco-friendly. The bonus... Each time I visit there's always a departing gift of a complimentary bottle of ice-cold water, a welcomed gesture of appreciation on extreme triple-digit days.

You can also drop off lots of stuff that they won't pay for, but at least you're recycling. They pay for cans and plastic bottles (and maybe some other things, but that's all I ever bring).

Sadly I ran into this again today. I found some material on the ground and set it on a ledge. I asked if they could sell me some of the same materials. The staffer was rude, asked how I'd feel if he went into my car and grabbed stuff. He also said he'd 86 me if I did it again. This was unnecessary and needlessly unprofessional. I simply was putting it into a more obvious place than the ground. After all if I dropped something I'd appreciate someone picking something up if I dropped it. No good deed goes unpunished here apparently. I was so flabbergasted I didn't respond with a better explanation but it's a situation I never should've happened. The only reason I have given them two stars rather than one is because the gal at the counter was very nice as she usually is. Still overall disappointed with the whole experience.

Conveniently located near Eastmark we headed over to dump some residential garbage. The Mesa…read morelandfill no longer accepts residential so the nearest free option was over 45min. This landfill did cost us $43 for the entire truck bed, which was steep, but we were in and out quickly. They do not accept tires and you must wear a safety vest- plan accordingly! The staff is super friendly and they have a fool proof tag system for getting your debit card back after dumping. Line went fairly quickly and we'd definitely be back!

Honestly, this has been the best place to recycle at- by a long shot…read more Females -- this is a great place to visit and know you won't get taken advantage of. If you have steel, drive up on the scale, wait for the light to change, drive around, unload everything, drive back up onto the scale, wait for the light again, then pull all the way back around to the trailer. They'll meet you outside and coordinate payment! If you have brass, copper, etc, pull up to the ramada (right before the vehicle scale) and someone will be there to weigh what you have on a smaller scale. Then go to the trailer, coordinate payment. They are quick, simple, and always give a great value. One or two of the employees might come off a little rough. But they work in the Arizona heat. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt!
