    Brought a refrigerator to recycle as they said they take it when we called. Be ready to wait. Don't…read morecome when you have other things to do as it is a very busy place in the sense of constant trucks and heavy equipment. The people were helpful and friendly when we finally made it in. Overall I can't deduct too much any stars. We were given a receipt for $3.22 which we left because it wasn't worth the hassle to then go in to the office. If you can find a smaller location to take something small off your hands, do it.

    this place is a joke. I spent a lot of time carefully determining what was going to be worth…read morebringing in, and whether or not to scrap out the copper from my several electric motors that i brought in. i also brought in about 75 identical pieces of electronic recyclables, all of which i knew had some sort of circuit boards in them, but in my researchi wasnt aware of what category theyd fall into so I asked the guy "helping" me if it was worth i for me to scrap them all out of the pieces and his response was "its ok", which I didnt understand but figured they would help me in sorting the stuff so i got something resembling my efforts worth. two minutes later i get the receipt for what theyre paying me and they lumped everything I brought except for the car battery into one category- "breakage" for a grand total (not including the $10 for the battery) of $3.65. im new to metal recycling but Im not that naive. thanks for putting absolutely no effort into the "customer service" part of your job. im sure no one here gives a damn about a negative review or where i take any future loads I may have but there isnt a snowballs chance in hell I'll ever think of returning to SA Recycling

    Great place to recycle. Matthew, the attendant is always friendly and helpful. He started off by…read moreexplaining all of the prices along with what they accept and what they do not. There are some item they will recycle for you but they do not pay cash for them. The center has very competitive prices they offer for items. They compete with the big recycling plant plant and in my opinion beat them in customer service. Thank you again Sunset for a smooth transaction. Matthew, I have to apologize, just I as I got back home I realized I left my trash bags scattered. I did not mean to do that.

    Be careful if you come to this recycling center. My mom came here recently with my little sister,…read moreand she was not the only one who felt she was underpaid. Three people ahead of her also questioned the amount they received because the math did not add up. My mom checked the numbers afterward and realized she was missing about $13. When customers started counting their money and asking questions, the workers told them they had to leave and could not stand there. They denied doing anything wrong, but when people continued complaining, they gave some customers a couple more dollars to calm the situation down. This experience felt very shady and unprofessional. Customers should not feel rushed out or uncomfortable for checking whether they were paid correctly. I'm sharing this so others know to double-check everything before leaving.
