It was great to find someplace open on a Sunday, and they are close to home. They were a little busy when we got there around 10:30am, but they are fast. None of the workers came out to greet us or ask if we needed any help when we first got there. There was one guy who politely asked if I needed help bringing my garbage bins up to the weighing area while I was already in line, which I gladly accepted. The cashier was friendly, quick to sort the bins, weigh, and pay. The area is a little tight with a few dedicated parking spots. It is between the liquor store and the auto parts store, in a driveway into the shopping center. So it's busy with traffic, other customers and not the cleanest area, but they got the job done, and I was grateful that they were open on a Sunday. I'll use them again! read more

I love recycling here. I like to come right when they open between 9am-10am when it isn't so busy. The guys who work here are very nice. I crush my cans at home and separate the plastic bottles in different bags. This makes the dumping of recycling easier when I get to Ocean's. I am able to bring a couple of cans and in one can put the aluminum and in the other, the plastic bottles. I do collect months at a time and then go to Ocean's with a bigger haul with bags of both plastic and cans to recycle and I do end up getting anywhere between $30-$40. This is my go to recycling place and I highly recommend you recycle and check out Ocean's Recycling! read more

The business is great have a good boss that see my value and speed to help customers with a friendly greeting and help them when they need it And the employees I work with have a friendly nature around them read more

Very friendly staff. The guy came out and helped me sort items without a CA redemption. Who knew pasta jars and wine bottles aren't redeemable. And who would've guessed I had so many accumulated through the holidays! Lol Friendly service and higher redemption rates than some other locations... read more

Not sure how this biz is getting good reviews..rude so disrespectful..no receipt or proof of how your recycling is calculated..we got ripped off..never going back..large plastic gallon water bottles do not get what California recycling law says you will be paid..stay away from this location.. read more

Ocean's Recycling may look like just another bare bones recycling center tucked into a strip mall, and for all intents and purposes, they are. What sets them apart, however, is speed and efficiency. The last thing people want to do at a busy recycling center with cars pulling in and out, buckets of cans and bottles and people everywhere is to spend half their day. Not here. It took me less than five minutes to move through a speedy line ten deep and recycle my cans and be on my way. read more

Super easy and super fast! I went on a Saturday morning and the lot was packed! But we were in and out in less than 30 minutes. You grab 3 trash bins that they provide to separate your cans, glass, and plastic. Then you just line up, a gentleman will double check your separation, weigh, and you get your cash right there! I've came before with a couple of trash bags full and got $20. Fun and easy way to recycle! read more

Love this place. Easy in and out. Staff helpful. Very helpful. Payment rates are certainly fair. Would go no place else.

Omg why have I been driving so far out of my way. I should have checked yelp first. They were super quick and their cans weren't all stuck together. Hella quick roll up and roll out. read more

They provide the best services. They helpful and care even I did not ask. Love this place!

Today was my second time visiting Ocean's Recycling. My first time here was great but today was FANTASTIC!! This is a small place but very efficient. It is located off of Franklin and Mack Road. It is on the west side of the old Raley's grocery that has closed. With that being said.....plenty of parking!! BONUS!!! They operate very similar to all other recycling place. You must separate your plastic bottles from your aluminum cans and glass bottles and so on. This part would be wise if you had your home set up so all are separated. When I arrived here, there were lots of people at their vehicle separating. I got lucky mine just had to be emptied in their trash bins to be weighed! This trip I was able to bring all of my "other" plastic recyclables to clear my garage! ( They took the milk and juice containers. Oooooh....the laundry detergent containers, too. ) When I was ready to push the bins over, the young gentlemen ran right over to help me! Basically....I was in and out within 20 minutes. The lines went QUICK!! Overall, small place but efficient. Super CLEAN work area. The employees have been very nice and helpful. Fast service. Love this place!! I'll be back.... read more

I came here after collecting a year or so of drinking the Pacific Oceans volume in canned coffee and sparkling water. The staff here were all men and helpful. One of them saw me unloading my cans and brought me some extra trash cans so I didn't have to keep going back and forth. After helping me go through all of the cans, he helped me bring them to the scale area and I was promptly helped by another fellow. The whole exprience took about 10 minutes. They're located between an Auto parts store and another buying, so it may be hard to find the recycling center. The area is rough, just keep your head on a swivel and you will be fine. Overall, the experience was fast and efficient. I'd come back. read more

First time going to this place so I wasn't sure what I was doing. I ask the cashier and she wasn't very helpful. She just pointed to the area with a pile of bins. So they have 3 different bins. One for glass only, one for aluminum and plastic (separately), and one for scrap metal. I did not realized that at the time. But once I got everything sorted, there wasn't really anyone at the scale to help or guide me. I had to figure it out myself (wasn't difficult). I've had better service at other recycling centers so my review is based on that. As for the price, they seem reasonable. I can't attest to that since I don't recycle often and I don't really shop around for prices. read more

I brought my aluminum cans and plastic bottles to this recycling place for the first time this afternoon. It's located West of Auto Zone. I had a difficult time finding it. It was pretty busy mid afternoon and some people had large quantities so it seemed that people were all scrambling for the plastic cans to dump their recycling into. Since it was my first time, I was a little confused but figured it out. I was in and out pretty quick and will know for next time. read more

This place is my spot. I usually go recycle my cans, glass bottle or plastic bottle. However, there is always a downside to it, is... they don't collect any plastic bottle that doesn't say CRV. However, what tip me off is, they will trick you and said some plastic bottle that did not said CRV, but in fact it do. So they do occasionally jipped customers on their cans and tell them to throw it away so you can't claim most of your profit. Just beware of that! read more

Live in Elk Grove but come here to redeem my cans and plastics. The ones in EG are too crowded. This place have up'd their game with more workers and rules but that's good. Rules to keep people out of the thorough way and safe but I don't know the purpose of keeping folks and their redemptions segregated but there must be a reason. Workers are pleasant and quick. Just have to watch for the guy separating cans and bottles in line but those idiots are everywhere. If you're not familiar with this hood you might want to stay away or at least not stray deeper into the woods. I grew up here, graduated from Bloodbank 30 years ago and bot my first house nearby so ain't no prob fo me dat much. Just gots to keep yo eyes open and yo bootie away at night. read more

Great bunch of guys working the Fruitridge location. Fast service, very fair rates. Glad they are here!

This place is a super fast way to get rid of all your cans and bottles. I got about $25 for 4 trash bins worth. That's about 3 months of saving bottles And cans in my house. It's in South Sac in a little plaza, kind of hidden. You just walk up and ask for how many trash bins you think you'll need. I asked them a few questions and they all seemed happen to answer. They DONT take hard liquor bottles. Only downside to this place is that it's super tiny. Otherwise great spot and I'll be coming back! read more

"Recycle, reduce, reuse... and close the loop!" Anybody else remember this song? There was a line of people the first time I came, so I left and came back a few weeks later. I had a bunch of plastic water bottles and dumped them into a grungy trash can. The water bottles were then weighed and I was paid- easy. When I was there, I was surprised to see milk jugs being recycled by others. I'll just stick to water bottles though. read more

Came here early I had my mothers recycling which she saves a good amount I had about 8-10 black bags of plastic and cans after i unloaded almost all had 2 left the worker told me They couldn't take my recycle because it looked like it was over 100pounds so I told him why didn't u say early or post a sign waiting until I unloaded almost all then he says u can go leave a few bags and come back which I did when I came back the guy different guy say have u been here before I said yes he said u can't come Here twice so there I go unloaded everything again to have to load it back came here because of the reviews first and last time I come they could be more professional and post a sign that no more then 100 pounds Can be recycle read more

I went to this place today for the first time. They were so helpful and friendly, and moved very quickly. I haven't been to any recycling place for several years and this place certainly lived up to it's reputation. I am 81 years old and went early [9:30 am] because it is almost 100 degrees today. read more

Such fast and efficient service. This will be my new go to recycling center. I even walked away without one of my dollars and they chased me to the car to give it to me. read more

Fast, friendly, helpful and reasonable prices paid. People are quick to assist and have a great attitude.

They help you and don't mind to answer your questions. Love the customer service here even though I have to drive further little bit.

Staff was very friendly and explain everything even how to get more money for recycled plastic bottles.. Great sense of humor

My first time at a recycle center, helping a friend out. These guys are very friendly and helpful. We already had all of the recycles sorted out, so the process was quick and easy. Thanks guys! read more

I always come here and every time it's always a good experience. These guys are willing to help you when you bring you recyclables in and are willing to answer questions you got like what bottles go where. I just recently found out that they moved location right behind wing wa super market read more

Love this place. If you call their phone number, they pick up and are cordial. Always prompt and fair.

Good place to recycle your can. Helpful staff. Their reimbursement rate are fair. Easy in and out.

Best place in Sacramento right now. Helpful, fast, clean and fair.

First time customer. I had a bit of trouble finding it as it's a small place tucked away in a shopping plaza with FoodsCo and other businesses. Once I found it, I got parking nearby (may not always be close by!). The people there were nice and had plenty of plastic/rubber bins to use to sort your recyclables. Customer service seemed to be good as it was crowded, but one was able to get info about what they were paying and how to do things there. The only neg I had was it could be no close parking if crowded. Otherwise, I would give it a full five-stars. I will make sure to go there at off-peak hours in the morning next time. My local recycling center closed (they've finally put up a "closed permanently" sign. Thanks, Ocean's. read more

Relied on the reviews before choosing where to take my recycling. This place is definitely worth the high score. They were so helpful. My granddaughter had been saving recycling for 2 years so we completely filled the back of my truck with about 15 black lawn/garden sized bags of recycling. The gentleman there was so nice and even helped us sort everything since it was our first time. I haven't compared rates but others have said the rates are fair and they did seem to be. We will definitely use them again. read more

This place has helpful staff that greeted me at my car with cans to start unloading into. The guy running the place also explained a variety of other materials they pay for that I was unaware of. Excellent service, thank you, we will come back. read more

Just thought I would take the time give a well deserved 5 star review. I was in town visiting family and had to help my dad with his recyclables. I was impressed by the fast, friendly service. I believe this is a family run business as well. read more

This is my first time here and only second time to a recycling center for more than just aluminum. I had my recyclable already sorted which made it quick and easy just basically transferring from my cans to theirs. Thanks for the great experience, I will be back. Thanks guys for all your help! read more

Been here twice already and the guys here are always so helpful and greet me and my boyfriend everytime!! Their services are quick and we were in an out in no time! We came on Friday morning/afternoon-ish around 11:30-12ish. We mostly had plastic bottles and cans and one bag of beer bottles and so far out of my recycling adventures lol this place has given me the most money back with my items. i'll definitely keep coming here for sure! read more
