Been Going Here For Years. When I Was Leaving Yesterday Some Old Man Purposely T Boned Me In The Medium (Saw Him And He Saw Me And Accelerated And Hit Me In The Medium). If It Wasn't For Their Video I Would Be SOLLLLLLLLLL (Yes That Many L's). Thank You To The Owner And Manager F Anaz You Saved This Service Connected Veteran. On Their Business Side They Are The Most Customer Care People Ever. Highly Highly Recommend. read more

Came here for the first time recently and had a great experience. You need to separate your cans, glass bottles, and plastics into different bins. Glass bottles have their own type of bins. Cans and plastic can use the same type of bins, just separately. The employees are nice here and you get a fair amount back. I will definitely return. read more

I have been here now a couple of times... There is one gentleman that helps bring the barrels to my car to put the cans in, he helps me wheel them over to get weighed & he is just super kind. This time I went, he was there but not working the weighing station, another gentleman I haven't seen before. When we walked to cashier I looked at my receipt and it said total was 23. 84 cents. NEVER have I only got that. I usually have the same amount every time I go, because once my containers are full at home, I usually get between 65 and 80 78 dollars. I take them in. So I was going to ask if there was a drastic change in prices at window, but it was like the girl heard us talking about in on camera because as soon as I put ticket down, she grabbed it and said " I will be right back" we waited for about 3-5 minutes she finally comes back and says "sorry about the wait, but I saw you were not credited correctly, your new total is 74.56" I said oh good because I was going to ask why it was much lower than normal, but ho did that happen? She said " sometimes, they rush and punch in whatever." We left having even more questions. How or why are they " just able to punch in whatever they want?" Isn't it all computerized? Aren't they supposed to weigh our items and whatever the weight is, is what should be printed out? This has me concerned they are not weighing honestly? Is this suspicious? read more

Wow, this place is amazing! They take E-waste and the usual glass, plastic and aluminum. Wine bottles are all good and they are even okay with the plastic caps left on bottles (some places are not). The blue, holy containers are for plastic and aluminum and there is a separate grey bin one for glass. It's such a quick and efficient process to sort out the recycling -- turn it in and get your ticket -- exchange your ticket for cash all in the same day and place! The staff are also very friendly and the cashier who helped was very kind and sweet. I highly recommend this place for your recycling needs and the pay out is pretty decent. Support this wonderful gem and help out the environment at the same time while getting some cash money- it's a win, win, win all around! read more

Really fast service and clean facility! Come here for quick cash ! I think they are taking ewaste now which is really good read more

I have only one experience with these folks and it went perfectly. After many calls around the county I was getting frustrated trying to recycle an old toaster oven. I had it in the car and was headed for the county dump when I saw these guys, stopped and asked if they took things like this and they came right over and grabbed it out of the back seat. I appreciate their service and will return if I have any dead electronics in the future read more

I love this place. I come about every one or two months. Felipe helped me bring the bins. he's super helpful and attentive to every single person that walks in. read more

They don't pay good because of dumb rules and the customer service is terrible. Don't come here if you want your money stolen. read more

Green-Go Recycling - Recycling Center Near Me - Escondido, California

Friendly, efficient and helpful. The workers are always ready to answer questions and make the process of recycling easy and quick.

We went there for the first time today. Flilipe was so helpful and kind to us. He made the process so easy. I would highly recommend!

Took several bags of aluminum for recycle. It was extremely easy to go in, have everything sorted into containers and rolled to the scale. I appreciate this location keeping bins on wheels for ease of moving them around vs dragging trash cans all over the lot. read more

Green-Go Recycling defrauds their customers by deducting a percentage for incidental (not excess) liquid in aluminum beverage cans. This is illegal according to the state recycling office, who recommended I forward my complaint to the county weights and measures office. When I questioned the deduction, the response of the cashier was "it's only (the amount deducted)", as if I shouldn't mind having money I already paid as a an incentive to recycle taken from me. The operator showed me the "excess liquid" by spinning the container, which looked like it had been doused with water. These are empty cans, not plastic water bottles. Take your recycling to an ethical business. read more

I usually go each month because that is how long it takes for me to collect cans. I always see Felipe and he is such a kind person. Always greeting with a smile and very helpful with any questions I may have. read more

Fast, Friendly Service. I arrived on a Friday morning and there was no wait. The employee who weighed my materials was helpful and met me near my truck to help bring my containers to the scale. He showed me where to redeem my Weight Ticket. The cashier was also friendly. She was efficient and provided a genuine greeting and closing remark. Thanks! read more

I took my plastic bottles in to recycle......they opened up on time and the staff was very helpful....I went when they first opened up...they get pretty busy there...it's a to take your recycling....and you get some money and help keep the earth clean.... read more

For many years, I've done my recycling at a recycling center deep in Poway, but it's not conveniently located to where I live. Today, I tried Green-Go Recycling for the first time, which probably is as far as the other place I go, but it's mainly freeway and surface streets to get there. I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit and will definitely visit again based on my positive experience. Green-Go is located in Escondido where I took the 15 North freeway and exited off of 9th Ave/Auto Parkway. If you're familiar with where the Target shopping center is located, Green-Go is within close proximity. There is an abundant amount of parking for you to empty your recyclables. For a recycling center, it was clean. I thought it was well organized and completely understandable on what you needed to do to turn over your recyclables to their employees. I was impressed with the customer service from Green-Go's employees from the gentleman who answered my question about what bins to grab, to the young man who helped me with my recycling assortment, and finally to the kind young lady who paid me. My other recycling center opens at 9am, so I was happy about Green-Go opening at 8:30am. I made sure to get there early to beat the rush and I was glad I did, but I was told on Saturdays, it's packed early in the morning. All the different bins you need are neatly organized. I grabbed the blue bins with wheels for my plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and miscellaneous plastics. Once I was done filling them, I rolled them to the customer friendly young man to have them weighed. Once he was done, he provided me with a receipt to take around the corner of the building to get paid. I felt like what I got for what I recycled was comparable to my other location I've used for years. This entire process from start to finish was fast and seamless. The Poway recycling center isn't as spacious as Green-Go and it's kind of out of the way. I had an awesome experience from the large parking area, the memorable customer service, and the expedient process. I believe I've found my go to recycling center. read more

I cane here like i usually do and ive always have a good experience today i cane and its a new young guy and they subtracted 5 percent of my total and he said because the can was wet but before i came i took off all caps and emptied every can i will not be returning ever read more

Best recycle place EVER! Employees are super sweet and very helpful , easy to park, really well organized and even the customers are extremely polite. Clean too! We have been going to Green-Go Recycling for at least five years, maybe more. Who does not love cash!...and helping our planet. read more

Staff was very helpful in organizing recycled materials..Great service....Separated recycled materials...Quick service ...didn't wait long... read more

I've been to many recycling places and these guys are awesome. I've been treated kindly each time, they are very good about making the process easy and seamless. Park your car, grab your bins (the regular trash can for glass) and get to going. After your stuff is weighed and priced, you take the receipt around the corner to the back office and boom you get paid. I hope these guys stay in business for a long time. They are great to work with! For your recycling needs, this is the place! read more

They just changed there hours which is a lot better now I have more time to bring in cans . They are always nice and respectful. I would recommend them and always coming back to this recycling place much cleaner then most. read more

Great experience as usual. I came with my items already pre-separated, so I can speak less time in the recycling lot. All the employees are always nice and professional. Thank you! Stay safe! read more

I've been to countless recycling places, never more than once because the employees are normally so rude, impatient, and unhelpful. Not at Green-Go! This is my new go-to spot. Every single time I've dropped off my recyclables, every employee from the ones taking and weighing, to those emptying the trash bins, to the cashiers have always been extremely pleasant. Keep it up! read more

Clean, easy, quick. I had tons of cans to be recycled and it was super easy. I would certainly go back. read more

BE AWARE OF THE PRICE THEY PAY FOR YOUR CANS! I've visited here several times and each time I noticed they reduced the aluminum price due to "wet cans". The first few times I wasn't aware of the deduction until I was already in the cashier line. I make it a point to fully empty my cans and keep them dry before I bring them in. Today they discounted my cans due to "metal contamination". WTF? Expecting to see the usual "wet can" deduction instead, I called him on it. I understand the purpose of these deductions if they are valid. I feel if you are going to apply a deduction to the customer that employee should be up front and show the customer the issue. This makes the customer aware of the deduction so they can prevent it in future visits. I also feel the customer should be able to see the "zero" on the scale before they weigh your cans. For some reason they don't provide this. I think the Department of Weights and Measure would be interested in knowing about this. read more

Started my grandson recycling cans. His first experience was here. Organized, clean (for a scrap dealer), fair prices. Cashier was friendly to a 9 year old customer. read more

First time here. Rolling baskets and friendly staff, awesome introduction to this business. Very clean place, a worker sweeping the parking lot as we arrived. We were helped with our recyclables and our receipt was explained about the amount of money we received. The cashier was super friendly and they had a little market in the cashier's office. This place is great!! My new place for recycling my bottles and cans. read more

Alright this place is a joke just like the manager Jose. He is rude and disrespectful to not only customers but his coworkers as well. I have been coming here for a while now but ever since that " manager " was given that role things went down hill. I can't believe the owner saw something in that guy cause he's just letting this guy get rid of all his customers. He says that he's the owner when he's getting confronted which is a lie. If the owner ever evens reads reviews I suggest you remove that manager of yours. No wonder your going out of business. read more

Like that they are open on Sunday's. Usually friendly staff. Have been coming here for awhile. You can recycle bottles in the front and in the back, they take metal etc recycling read more

Hands down, best recycling place ever! Seriously. They're really nice, humble peeps. The place is clean and they're doing something right, besides just saving our planet. I came here because I guess the one off mission closed in Escondido. And boy am I glad I did. I came in through the front to have a man greet me and kindly direct me towards back, then I met another guy out back who told me he would help me when I was ready and granted, even tho I'm a girl and would most likely assume that's why I'm getting the fair treatment, no way because the guy next to me was also treated in the same fashion. I ended up also getting a bit more money here too which was nice, and you don't have to take the caps off. Just one thing though- they don't pay for wine bottles so you can bring them, they'll recycle but no dinero for the vino! Just saying! read more

Friendly and quick service for recycling payback. Also takes scrap metal. Would recommend.

Very Friendly staff with great service for the cans and bottles are returned.i returned and super easy to use.

Friendly workers, plenty of parking , plenty of bins for your recycling items. Best center I have found in escondido.

So relieved to find this place. Needed to shred boxes of legal documents. The price was good and the customer service was great.

They close early and prices vary. Horrible service. Showed up and was turned away. I Do Not recommend to anyone. All in all I was told by employee, "he just wants to go home" find service else where this place is a joke. read more

Got there at 4:30 and they were closed. Waste of time and gas. If your going to close at 4:30, change your hours to 4:30 so others don't waste there time! The other places in the area might pay a little less, but at least they won't waste your time. Guy was still there, but just yelled to me that me they are closed, walked inside the gate and closed it. I had one barrel of crush cans... read more

This place is inconsistent with pricing. I always bring relatively the same amount of recycles and have been given anywhere from $13 to $30. I'll be finding another place for recycling. read more

It's a convenient place to take your recycling. But be aware that the employees don't wear masks and they don't require it of their customers. So you're taking your chances. read more

This is my go to place because it's close to my house and ,although it gets crowed, their service is friendly and quick. I usually take 2 big bags of stuff and get close to $20. I went today with the same amount and only got $14, so yes, they may not be the highest payers, but if you are just doing it for the environment and not necessarily the money, it's a great choice. read more
