Getting rid of some stuff, and there was an aluminum stepladder. I called and asked if this would…read morebe treated as aluminum, since 99% of it is aluminum. I was told yes, it's treated as aluminum, but to hold a minute and they'd check for sure. She came back and said yes, she'd checked and it was treated that way. When I got there, I was told that it would be "dirty" aluminum, since there was a piece of plastic at the very top of the ladder, which was bolted on. As a result, it was worth 15 cents/lb rather than 50 cents/lb. Had I been told that when I called, I would have spent 5 minutes unbolting the plastic. As it was, I got almost enough out of it to pay for the gas to get it there. So, just be aware that even if you call with a specific question about a specific item and get an answer, you might get a different answer when you actually get there.

Clean the Planet Recycling is now at a new location! I've…read morebeen visiting their new address at 1112 W Birchwood Ave, Mesa, AZ 85210 and I can honestly say -- this is the best place to recycle metal. They are honest, quick, and they offer better prices than other recycling centers in the area. https://recyclersmesa.com/ Their updated phone number is 480-361-1863, and the team there is always friendly and helpful.

I swung by today to recycle some stuff. The aluminum price is low compared to other places in the…read morearea. I've had some bad experiences with rude or snide staff in the past. 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.

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.
