I live in Waikele, but whenever I needed to recycle my HI-5, I always went to Waipahu or other…read moreplaces. One day I decided to try this place, and it took me less than 10 minutes to drive there. It's a small recycling center next to Inspire Church. I arrived there at 4:00 PM. They had bins stacked up, and you can grab a bin and sort by plastic, soda cans, and beer bottles. You can also sort your 16.9 oz bottles separately because they will pay you more for those. I was surprised that there was only one person working, but he was nice and friendly -- and he moved really fast. I was amazed at how quickly he worked. He actually goes through the bins and takes out anything that is not HI-5. I thought protein drink cans had HI-5 on them, but I was wrong. It was impressive how he could process everything all day while sorting at the same time. At first, I had to ask him why he was taking out certain cans, and he explained that those didn't have HI-5 on them. I saw some reviews about workers at recycling places being dishonest. I won't mention any names, but there are a few places where workers have been dishonest. However, this place has plenty of surveillance cameras, and they weigh your cans and plastic right in front of you. I think it's nearly impossible for them to cheat here. At other places, they weigh your cans and bottles where you can't see the scale. But here, the weight scale is right in front of you, and there are even cameras pointing at the scale. As a Yelp reviewer, I want to give my honest opinion. When I see negative comments like that, I like to dig in and compare them to my own observations. Like I said, at other places you can't see the weight scale or any cameras. I have been recycling for a while, and I got the most money here. When I took my recycling to a competitor, I didn't get nearly as much as I did at RRR Recycling. I didn't realize I had essentially been sharing my payout with the workers at the other place. On top of that, I even gave them a few extra dollars to buy themselves a drink. lol I won't say exactly how much I got, but I will say I got $25.00 more than at other places. I also think that if you don't receive a summary of your recycling and feel your return was too low, you can probably call their management and open an investigation. But I was super happy with my extra $25, and my receipt broke down exactly what I had and how much I received for each item -- like an itemized receipt. On top of everything, the worker was solo and incredibly fast, and he was very friendly. I asked him if he was a regular employee there, and he said he is only a part-timer. He was too shy to be in a picture, but I managed to get a photo of him from behind. I hope management recognizes and appreciates his hard work. Sometimes it's hard to find someone who is both honest and hardworking, and when you find that person, doing everything you can to keep them is better for your business and better for your customers. As you looking at the picture you can see all the cameras in the building and it will be impossible for them to cheat. That's my observation!!!

I usually go to a recycling center in Kapolei but it is closed on Monday's so I decided to try some…read moreplace new that is in close vicinity to my home. I saw this place had a fairly good review so I gave it a go. Sadly it fell way below expectations. I drove up and there was no other customers there. I noticed a female employee looking at her phone. I started unloading my 6 bags of recyclables and put the into the designated bins. Female employee still hadn't acknowledged me. Since this was my first time there I wasn't familiar with where to put my filled bins when I was done. I hesitatingly pulled them up the ramp and put them on the left side of the chains. With nothing said to me again she got up from watching her phone and pulled them under the chain to the middle. A male employee came out to assist her and they just spoke between themselves about another customer that has just pulled up. She handed me the money and receipt. And the first and only words uttered to me the whole time "$33.75." This experience has left me feeling like an inconvenience, I'm not sure how the have above a 1 star rating.

The security guard said "that's your two loads for the day." And when I explained that we were not from the same household we were just helping each other he decided to start an argument about it. Then this woman who was standing on the side decided to get involved, yelling at me, and she wasn't even in uniform so I didn't realize she was security until she mentioned "trespassing" which Allied Universal doesn't even have the authority to do as the convince centers are public property. They are public C&C properties paid for and run with taxpayer money. Whoever this woman was was swearing at us, threatening us, and did not provide her guard card when asked for it which is illegal. I'm going to go back sometime and get their names and report them to the state, they are like a little, brain damaged, mafia that thinks their collection of dumpsters is their kingdom and they don't understand that two cars can come from two totally different locations even if the drivers know each other. Allied Universal needs to put leashes on guards like this and the City and County should consider switching contract providers or going in house before Allied Universal's uneducated, rabid, employees get them sued for civil violations when they overextend their authority. Next time I go I'm going to have a 360 on the car and if this happens again I'm dragging Allied and the City and County to court. Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable behavior from this security team. We took our ACTUAL second loads to Waipahu instead.
