I have a huge facility where people drink a lot of sodas, water and energy drinks. That means there's a HUGE amount of recycling. I decided that I would take in these cans and bottles and use that money for things like snacks and candy for my team. There are close to 1100 of them! This recycling place is nice in the s new that you can drive right in. I had over 40 bags! They processed them quickly and I got paid. I walked out with some cash that helped pay for a BBQ for about 900 people. Some tips. Make sure all of the bottles and cans are empty. It helps make the process quicker. Also, don't mix the cans and bottles. There are two separate processes for each. I wish I knew what really happens to all of this stuff, but at least I feel better that we did the right thing and got rewarded for it. read more

I took in 3 times the amount of what I recycled the last time I was here and only made about $30.00 more this time. I asked if he had added up everything even the glass, he laughed and said he had forgotten the glass and paid me $6.00 more. Scammed! Last time I'll come here. read more

Always quick service and the people, while not overly so, are friendly. I've been going there for years. Don't tell them I sent you, they won't know who you're talking about ;0) read more

The owner has been in the business for over 30 years. This type of business is not easy. He is dedicated to help in the green recycling movement. We should support him and this Bakersfield business. Thank you read more

My husband just got scammed . We put a complaint through https://www2.calrecycle.ca.gov/BevContainer/RecyclingCenters/ . For all that wish to complain about this center scamming people for their money. Numbers are inaccurate and they're cheating the system. This isn't right especially not for the homeless that are trying to buy food by selling these recycling materials. read more

You guys, I don't know about you but I don't like to spend any time separating my recyclables, loading them & spending my Saturday mornings taking them to the centers, but this place makes it worth it! Not only are you doing your part for the environment, but you are getting a little bit of cash back! We have been to several other recyclable centers in town & this one is the best value. The place isn't fancy by any means, you may even step on some questionable items, but just wear your old shoes, old shirt, & go get a little bit of moola for your coffee habit! read more

Quick and easy was able to just back up my truck and they helped unload it I was in and before I knew it. Feel like I could've gotten paid a little more but not bad at all. read more

Quick and easy, but they don't pay very well. I had a few bins of plastic, glass, and cans, but somehow I only got paid 9$ ‍

Good place to recycle items, owner helps you to unload. Easy breezy process and out you go with some nice change! :)

My class collects recyclables on campus to find cooking lessons and community-based instruction. New World has been the best place we have gone to for recycling. SA Recycling was hard to work with, took forever and didn't want to help. New World is exactly the opposite! They are greatly appreciated! read more

Scam. It's all a scam, I took so any bottles to this place and I only got $44, this place is just a scam. I recommend to never go to this place if you want to get your moneys worth, just look for a different place. read more

Always fast and easy. The staff is helpful and pays cash for recycling. He also gave me a candy and calendar for the new year!

I've been going to new world recycling for years and years. But that changed when the owner short changed me by couple of $. I had a figure..about $3 to 4. But he gave me $1.81...He said I had cans. I said I had bottles as well. He said his employee said I had cans. I said no I also had several plastic bottles...So that was the last time I've been there. I don't like being short changed. So my dissatisfaction is the chinese guy short changes people....to stay in business. read more
