I usually review food and restaurants but I had to give this place a good shoutout! Came in on my day off since I needed to recycle some cans that I've been saving for about a year now. Employees there were courteous and offered some help with the recycling. This place is pretty fair when it comes to the payout and everything was pretty easy. Price for value is definitely there when it comes to recycling your cans and other recyclables. If you're looking for a fair place to recycle; look no further; this is the place. Highly recommended! read more

The lot is big and super clean, which made everything feel organized and easy to navigate. The staff were friendly and helpful, and what really stood out to me was the service -- they actually bring the carts to your car so you can load your recyclables without any hassle. Overall, it was quick, convenient, and way smoother than I expected. Definitely one of the better recycling spots I've been to. I'll be coming back!

Good price on recycling quick and a lot of workers to lend you a hand if you happen to need one

Plastic bottles weighing 101 Lbs. because it's over 1 lb they rejected the whole transaction. They advice us to take the whole back home then come back later for the actual weight which is 100 lbs. i ask them if i can just take 1 lb out and they said no that i have to bring all back home and come back read more

Workers greeted us and helped us park and brought us bins to put our recycling in and helped us drive out. Was not much of a wait.

Super easy process! After parking my car, I grabbed 2 big bins and filled it up with the water bottles. Then I lined up and got the bins weighed. There were only 4 people in front of me. After I got the voucher, I cashed it at the cashier. I got in and out of there within 20 minutes. read more

The people working here were so incredibly nice today! Faustido went above and beyond to help my partner and then told him thanks for his service (my partner was wearing an air force veterans hat). Another guy gave me hand signals so I could back out. It was like a breath of fresh air!! Stockton can be a wonderful place! read more

Nice staff! They are very accommodating.

I didn't get rich off of recycling, but I feel better knowing I cleared my garage and helping out the environment. Come to Stockton Recycling and see for yourself. read more

Helpful employees . They give you 2 dollar bills and 50c pcs which my nephews and nieces love

This Place was so "Awesome" !!!!!..... Everyone was So very Nice and "Helpful" !!!!.... As soon as we drove up a Girl came to our truck and asked us how many Baskets we needed,, I open my Tailgate and she said 3... And was right. Then after we filled the very large baskets another very nice girl came and help us take them to get weighed,,, then another girl started to weigh them and held a very nice Conversation with us... The place was Very Organized and Cleaned for being a Recycling Center..... Even the Girl giving your money was so "Polite" .... Well Done Stockton Recycling ......... Can't wait till we go again...... read more

This place is cool because they are open on sundays... plus I love the 50 cent coins and $2 bills they randomly give you.

I really liked this place until yesterday when a guy got cheeky with me for "not standing behind the cones" " it says on the sign" . LMAO look at what the sign is in my pictures. It's this little 6" by 6" sign literally pointed to one half on the Parking lot. When you come in they direct you where to park, They had me park directly in front of the shop. No where in my line of site from my car until the line can you see the sign. So if you're going to complain about me being a foot in front of the cones at least make the sign visible. Also the guy asked if I was with the guy behind me. He took the guy behind me first! when I was next! I thought to myself well maybe because he has cans and I have plastic. Maybe they only do cans on that side. Then after he was done he helped me! So basically he let this guy cut in front of me. I want an apology and to be taken care of somehow for that worker to not follow rules and not help me when I was next in line then complain about the cones. I will be letting everyone know how you guys treat people there. read more

Quick and easy. Staff was very helpful! I'll use them again when I have enough to recycle

I went in with an entire truck bed full of recycling cans and plastic bottles. They first said because the truck I borrowed to bring these in is an out of state license plate they will only pay me $50 for my $150 worth of recycling. Then when I showed them my California license he refused me service said they won't pay more than $50. So if you have more than $50 worth of recycling they won't give you that money. Do not go here they are not honest at all and want to rip people off! If I could give 0 stars, I would!! read more

Every time I need to go, I know there is a helpful staff there willing to go out of their way to assist. The last time I went, one of the workers actually brought two bins for my recyclables.. and I was parked in the last stall near the entrance/exit! Friendly cashiers make the whole experience very positive. Thanks! read more

I have to drop a GREAT review for this place. I'm s 5yr Stockton Resident and been using this facility 4 of my 5yrs here. Took a load in last week. Still had more. Unfortunately I don't have a truck anymore so I let everything pile up. I was unaware this place wasn't open over the weekend and Google directed me to H & B. I didn't like the small residential property. Small mom & pops outfit & strict on where & how you sorr there. What offended me most. THE WORKERS WERE TAKING MY STUFF & WEIGHING OUT OF MY SIGHT. read more

It was my first time and went after reading reviews. I saved everything with a CRV and had it sorted by plastic, cans, bottles. There are large bins on wheels you get that you place your items in. One bin for plastic, one for cans and there's a blue barrel for bottles. Super easy to figure out, then go stand in line which moves quickly. The incredibly nice staff takes your stuff, weighs it, tells you how much you'll get and prints out a paper which you take to the cashier. Shocked it went so smoothly and am looking forward to going again. Wish everywhere worked out this well. read more

All i can say is WOW!!!!! I'm so excited to be writing this review for this recycling center because I've been having so many great experiences coming here! Taking my recycles to a center has always been a task I've always dreaded to do because usually the staff and locations are always sketchy and uncomfortable but NOT THIS LOCATION! From the moment you pull in you have the men guiding you on where to park in any of the open spaces. Sometimes they can be busy and a lot of foot traffic so it is nice to have the employees helping you out while you drive and or back into a spot. After you have parked there is always an employee on his way to bring you baskets for your recycles and willing to bring more depending on your load. They are so friendly upon first interaction and always asking how your day is. They explain where the line is when you're done unloading. The line is well organized with cones and its always a fast process. The employees who weigh your recycles are also so friendly and make the process so smooth! Once they give you your voucher you take it to the window right next to the line and they process the vouchers extremely fast! The ladies at the window also have such a positive and friendly welcoming as well as offering us hand wipes to clean our hands i mean WOW!!! 5 star service!! It's always such a smooth and amazing experience i won't go anywhere as long as this place is open so if you need to pick a location for your recycles COME HERE!! Side note: it is really nice that the men working aren't creepy and they are attractive and nice to look at while a tiny dainty girl like me waits in line. 10/10 Recommend. read more

I went to recycle my cans and plastics on Saturday am. Had to wait just a few minutes, to be directed where to park. As I pulled in, never being at this location before..went to window in front on what to do..the young lady explained everything to do..her kindness, and taking time to let me know what to do was soo appreciated. Then as I started separating my recycles a young man came over to me to let me know if there was any questions I had to just ask..they were there to help. No matter how busy they were, to ask me if all was ok..wow..these kids are so organized, and very much needed, especially dealing with public and customers. Not a long wait at all..and with the customer service, was worth the minute or 2 I was out...thank you all so much for a great experience of kindness and organization. I'll definitely be going back. Thank you again. read more

We always come here. The people are nice and helpful. The prices are higher than most and we have never had any issues as far as not getting the appropriate amount back. Like some other places we have been too. read more

The whole process there is pretty simple and it all mom's along pretty quickly. Just show up, grab a bucket(s), fill them up, bring them to the people workers, sign, and get your money, then you're done. At most, I've spent 20 minutes there. The only recycling center in Stockton that I ever go to! read more

I've never recycled before so I was excited to see what I could get out of cans and bottles my roommates and I saved over the past few months. The recycling center is located on the corner of Harding and Waterloo and theres a huge sign that says "Stockon Recycling" so you can't miss it. How to go about recycling: 1. For plastic, grab a mesh bin and place it all in there. 2. For aluminium, grab a mesh bin and place it all in there. 3. For glass, separate by color first (green, clear, brown) and grab a plastic bin for each color. 4. Then you wait in line and the friendly workers weigh it for you and print you out a receipt. 5. Take the receipt to the register, show them your ID and they cash you out. The service went by really quick and I foresee future trips (unless today is really the end of the world)! Note: They also take paper, electronics, etc. read more

I can't believe how easy it is to recycle here. No hassles and payment for full value of recycled items. This is my second visit here. I return to Stockton recyclers because of their honesty. I have tried Alco which is a nice place but they only accept scrap at present. And a place called Universal which I yelped but yelp removed because of having only one review. I quit going to universal the very day I went there because they do buy pay their quoted pay out per pound. They docked my load 29% which put me at a loss. Today I find multiple negative reviews about Universal in Google plus so yelp is really doing a disservice by not displaying my review. read more

I drive half an hour just to bring my recycling here. It's pretty organized and can accommodate a lot of people. The staff in the yard is very helpful and pleasant. read more

Just moved back to the area. I am disabled and limited to what I can do physically. From the time I pulled in and the time that I left was about 15 minutes. And it was pretty busy. I was helped every step of the way. They were genuinely nice and I will never forget my experience there. Even the customers put me up front of the line to get your cash. It may sound unreal. But it's 100% true. read more

I have been going here for a while now. But today, something was different. I was greeted by staff, they were willing to help. The employee helping the customer next to me was enjoying the conversation with the employee. The guy at the scale was a little rude but that's Stockton for you! read more
