    Proof !!!  My plastics weighed 19.3  He shushed me away from being able to see what the cans weight was.

    This was a guy and a girl working today. The man was a little disturbed because I chose to keep an eye on the scale. He asked me to stand on the other side of the table , I then commented if he can face the scale so that I can too see it. He didn't want to. I seen my plastics weight of 19.3 lbs. when I looked at my receipt it was marked at 16 lbs. Mad as hell! Why? We go through a lot just to save them with the hopes of having a lil extra for gas. Now it seems these people think they are entitled to a percentage of our hard earned change. This is not the first time it happens here at this location. These workers here ALL TAX YOU! It's not fair! Where are my humble and honest people now ?

    If you just need a place to drop your recycles off and don't care about pricing, this is local and quick. Located behind Five Below/Best Buy. Sometimes they're not open right at 9am, staff is blunt and just there to do their job. A lot of time staff is on a personal phone call via earbuds while weighing your recycles. I've never seen a line here, usually about 2-4 people at a time through out the day. Glass goes in the plastic 50 gallon trash bins. Plastic and aluminum goes into the netted makeshift bins. California now added wine and distilled spirits (brandy, gin, rum, tequila, vodka and whiskey) into the CRV program starting on Jan 1st, 2024. We can finally recycle those hard liquor bottles and for much more! Prices as of 9/6/2024- Glass $.0105 per pound Cans $1.68 per pound Plastic $1.32 per pound WDS-BBP (Wine, Distilled Spirits- bag, bladder, pouches) $0.31 each/$0.25 each

    Located behind 3 Men's Suits. Don't get much money for the recyclables, but it is a convenient location and plenty of parking. Separate the items in the bins, and the process is fast.

    Ken is great, he helped me carry my items to the scale and even helped me re-separate some of the items too.

Overall I can't deduct too much any stars. We were given a receipt for $3.22 which we left because it wasn't worth the hassle to then go in to the office. If you can find a smaller location to take something small off your hands, do it.

    this place is a joke. I spent a lot of time carefully determining what was going to be worth…read morebringing in, and whether or not to scrap out the copper from my several electric motors that i brought in. i also brought in about 75 identical pieces of electronic recyclables, all of which i knew had some sort of circuit boards in them, but in my researchi wasnt aware of what category theyd fall into so I asked the guy "helping" me if it was worth i for me to scrap them all out of the pieces and his response was "its ok", which I didnt understand but figured they would help me in sorting the stuff so i got something resembling my efforts worth. two minutes later i get the receipt for what theyre paying me and they lumped everything I brought except for the car battery into one category- "breakage" for a grand total (not including the $10 for the battery) of $3.65. im new to metal recycling but Im not that naive. thanks for putting absolutely no effort into the "customer service" part of your job. im sure no one here gives a damn about a negative review or where i take any future loads I may have but there isnt a snowballs chance in hell I'll ever think of returning to SA Recycling
