Great place near Brentwood/Oakley to take your aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles. I…read morewent right when they opened @ 9:30, and they were very busy, but they're pretty fast. Do be aware that they have a max aluminum buy-back of 90lbs. So if you have been saving for a while like myself you will have to go back another day. Wish that wasn't the case, but it is.

If you want to go here, do not go on Mondays. I warn you, the line will be massive. Usually, it's not too long. It will take about 30 minutes to 1 hour to wait in line, but overall, I think people should come here. I hope everyone could come here.

Sometimes I've gone there and had to wait in line behind several other cars and it took awhile. I've never had to wait going to the Pittsburg dump! It's very straight forward, pay the fee, dump your crap, and you're on your way! I'll never have to go elsewhere to dump that old bed frame thrown on the side yard 2 years ago haha!

After losing faith in Craig's List over the years, I had no idea what to do with my appliances and furnishings. I also wanted my items to "give back" to humanity. So, I called Bay Area Recycle. They were extremely helpful, informative and professional. They were unable to take my furnishings, but they referred me to someone who could help (Salvation Army and Bay Area Crisis Nursery). They WERE able to take my refrigerator for $35 cash, in a timely manner-- 2 days later! They removed the appliance from the storage unit, so I did not have to do any heavy lifting. Overall, an excellent experience. Why only 4 stars, and not 5? Well, they only accepted cash; and they only take electronics and appliances. However, I want to reiterate-- these folks are wonderful! I would use them again.

I needed to remove a Calif. King Mattress. I got 3 quotes: $150, $139 & $130. I thought those…read morequotes were outrageous. My friend told me to call Bay Area Recycle. They quoted me: $40 for curbside pick-up or $65 to come up one-flight of stairs and remove it from my apartment. 2 guys showed up on time and the price I signed for was the price I was quoted. Plus, they recycle as much of the mattress as they can whereas the other companies just take it to the Dump.

Called in for a price on clean copper and once I arrived to location they said owner wasn't there…read moreand they gave me a different price per lb on the copper. Man said he was going based off what was in the computer. After seeing the price difference I wanted to separate the copper to make a couple extra dollars since I had it mixed. I asked the man handling the transactions that told me a different price on the copper if he can lend me some clippers and he said he cant let me borrow them yet he had my ID and I was going to do it right in front of him. Words cant explain how frustrated I was. I ended up taking a loss at the end of the day and affected me mentally due to financial struggles.

I appreciate being able to give my recyclables. It was easier than I thought it would be.read more
