I came here on a weekday afternoon and there were not many people here. There were several staff…read morecasually walking around and after speaking to one of them, I was finally getting helped. He grabbed a couple of bins over to my trunk and told me to unload. A few seconds later, another car drove in and the same worker immediately walked over to help him unload his cans instead. Maybe the guy was a frequent customer but damn, the differential treatment was hella obvious. The worker helped him unload everything and helped him carry everything to the weighing station. It all happened so quick that he even skipped me in line. When I was done unloading, I asked for some help carrying the bins over to the weighing stations (as I saw workers help other people), but I was just told to carry the glass bottle bins myself. Umm sure that would make sense if the other customers small in stature like me too but they were literally men who seemed big enough to not need the help. Regardless, they're nicer if you know Spanish. They're friendlier if you've buddied up with them before. Ironically the workers make it seem like some boy's club catering to their own yet their bosses are Asian. It's too much of a hassle dealing with their behavior that I'd much rather recycle elsewhere next time.

Adam Brandin is our company's Regional Account Representative who is very responsive. Their pricing is competitive and they do not nickel and dime you for each service that they provide. Other environmental professionals who use them also noted their customer services. So for small or medium company, use them, they provide competitive pricing and very GOOD customer services. For large company which I used to work for, ACT also provided onsite turn-key services as well as hazwaste hauling. Yes, if you use Clean Harbor, it may be cheaper. But the customer service cannot be beat. I put pricey because hazwaste services are always pricey and similar in charge. The difference is the customer service, compliance history, and their intellectual resources.

Favorite place to recycle cans. I had tried using those Olyns machines before but every time I…read morewould go, they'd be broken or get full before my turn in line. I only use the can machine here. It doesn't matter if the cans are crushed or not -- it's by weight. Just bring your cans over to the guy who helps place them in the machine to weigh them. It's super quick. Then you take your receipt to the Cashier to cash out. The line can get long, but I've never waited more than 10 minutes if there are 4 or 5 people in front of me. People who work here are really chill and nice. My mom is addicted to drinking diet sodas, so the equivalent of about 3 trash bags of her cans (about 8 pounds) made me $14! Someone's trash can be another person's treasure.

With every section you visit (ie. cans, plastic, glass, scrap metal), you receive a receipt which you keep. When you're done visiting the different stations, you take all your receipts to the cashier, who moves at the pace of a sloth, show your ID, sign a document, and receive your recycle cash. When I come here, one of my biggest gripes is that I take the time to separate my recyclables in bags and the employees throw them in a container with either cans falling out or glass bottles breaking when they don't make it into the weighing container and I lose out on my weight. Because I want to reclaim all the CRV that I paid on my wine bottles, distilled water bottles, and cans and plastic from my last party, I begrudgingly come here year after year. Recycling on a weekday is less crowded than a weekend. Lastly, be careful of all the fork lifts zooming about and people parking.
