I needed to recycle cans and bottles and this was the closest to my house. The station is on the side of a Savemart parking lot. There is plenty of spaces to park. You just pull up with your bags and someone helps you sort out the cans and bottles in bins. I luckily didn't have to touch anything. When they are done they just tell you to wait in line with the bins. The cashier counts all the cans and gives you a receipt with the total you get. I thought my four bags was a lot but I guess it wasn't worth a lot only $12 cash back. But it's okay better than nothing. read more

See all

Always great customer service. Love their weekend hours and super convenient. Great prices and lots of parking. read more

Ocean’s Recycling - AVOID THIS LOCATION!!!!!! IS ALL I CAN SAY!!!!!! RECYCLE LADY CHEATED TF OUTA US! - Recycling Center Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Arrived here for the first time. We got our Trash cans and load the recycle we had. We went up to the booth container and nice lady helped us. Asked if we been there before. We said no first time since the one we used to go closed. She told us the new recycles they accept as well as gave me there card to call in case they are closed. As well she told me about being a rewards memeber for coming back. To get the card stamped evertime and on the 10th time you get an incentive. Lady also showed us we can scan QR code for everything acceptable. We were in and out in 5-10 minutes. It was quick and easy. Will come back again here. They are located in the Savemart parking lot next to 76 gas station. read more

First time doing a big girl task of bringing recyclable cans/bottles to recycle! I was scared of doing it all alone with so many bags of cans, but the people there (an Asian lady and a white gentleman) were really nice and accommodating! They pointed for me to get the big garbage bins to bring to my car and dump my bottles into. Luckily I pre-sorted them all before hand. But they were nice about sorting out the other stuff that I thought would be grouped together. In and out in 10minutes. Easy parking next to the recycle center to unload. Would come back! read more

My husband and I were looking for a recycling place and stumbled across Ocean's recycling. We had maybe 7 or 8 bags total. We started sorting through and one of the workers came to help us! He was super friendly, helped us sort our recycling and carried it to the scales. Ended up getting about $25 for everything. Everyone was super helpful, will definitely be coming back here read more

I used to toss my cans and bottles in the blue recycle bin, because I feel a lot of recycle centers are grimy and it's not worth my time to deal with the whole hassle. I decided to try saving my bottles and cans to recycle again, and tried this location. It's actually very convenient due to this location. The staff member was very friendly and efficient. The whole interaction was less than 1 minute and cordial. Staff member also explained how to sort plastics to increase reimbursement for different CRVs. read more

The guys over there are soo polite .. funny and helpful! Was in and out soo quickly and I showed up with 11 bags! Definitely recommend!

Never going back. Staff (White guy) is always rude and yells at you like you are in grade school and you "owe" him. Found a better place. Valdez recycling. Why do I need to be treated like crap? read more

Best recycling in town. They are helpful when I bring my stuff to the place. I love how nice they are when dealing with customers.

Super efficient and they even helped me take the bags out of my car. I was in and out quickly.

Great and friendly service!!! They are fast and even helped us sort out a few of our big bags. Also, they pay better than other recycle places we been to. We'll definitely be back here. :) read more

Best guy he take care of me I show up a little bit late, but he still take my stuff and take care of me come see him he is every nice

Nice place, neat & clean. The employees are friendly and even helpful. Taking off one star because they were closed and gone the day I went there about 15 minutes before they were supposed to be closing. That's really frustrating when you pack up your recyclables and drive over there only to find the place locked up tight and deserted! read more

Helped cleaned out my boyfriend's parent's yard full of cans. My first time here and Ocean's Recycling was fast, easy, and ready to go. Thanks! read more

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FAST! They got me in and out quick. Location was clean and staff was friendly and really helpful. 10/10

The people working this site are very friendly and informative. They work as fast as possible

This was my first time using the recycle center. Even though we were 5th in line and had a years worth of recyclables we got out of there pretty fast and the payout was good. They had hand sanitizer on hand and the staff were very friendly. read more

My friends and family refer me to this location. The staff in ELk Grove location are marvelous, kind, and helpful. They always greet you with kindness. Space is clean and well organized. Very fast and efficient. They get you in and out. This the best place to go turn in your recycle. They also have this loyalty card. They punch the card each visit and give u extra $.05 per pound on your 10th visit on your alumni and plastic CRV. I would definitely recommend this place. Will continue to be back to my favorite recycling. read more

So helpful and attentive ‼‼ everyone ‼ helped me and my moms. First time definitely will be back cool vibes blessings to the whole team

Wow - the staff is incredibly rude and defensive. The attendant was removing glass bottles from my container. When I asked him why, he said, "We don't take hard liquor or wine bottles." I said, "No other place has ever done this. That's rather squirrely." He snapped back, "You don't have to call me names!" I said, "I didn't call you a name, I said your company's policy is squirrely. No one else does this." He said, "I don't have to take any of your stuff!" and glared at me, daring me to say another word. The purpose of recycling is to keep junk out of the landfill. Ocean's isn't interested in that. Please don't support an organization like this. I'll be returning to Valdez on Kent. It's a couple miles further but I'm more than happy to support a company with positive employee attitudes and goals. read more

They will rip you off. The girl that works there rip me off for $120.00 dollars Don't go there.

Idk if they give as much for recycling as other places, but I do know the man that works there is finnnnnnne. And super nice : )

I always go here for my recycling. They always ask if they can help me while unloading my vehicle. And there is a very nice young man who is always pleasant and asks me how my day is going. read more

I love coming here because the employees are helpful and nice. However, the first time I recycled here, I finished near closing time and noticed a man walking up a minute after they had closed and still being allowed to recycle. On a separate occasion I arrived with around 12 minutes to spare and was told to come on time. I'm okay with there being a cut off time, but it should be applied to everyone. read more

Hours are actually 9am to 1:58pm on Saturdays. And their response to me stating I only wanted to drop off 4 bags was. "Don't wait till the last minute". Great service not and a poor way to encourage recycling. So frustrating. You would think they would want the business. read more
