I've tried a few places now and I think I finally found my recycling spot in Dajes Recycling…read moreCenter. The staff here is fast, efficient and kind! I've been trying to be better and recycle everything, treating this Earth well. Once a month, I like bringing my plastics and getting a little cash money for them. I usually fill a big black bag and it's around $15. On this last trip at Dejas, they could tell it was my friend and I's first time at the location and helped us a bit with our sorting. They were patient and helpful! Plus when our total was $18 and some change they just gave us a $20 as a first time customer bonus! So unnecessary but kind! We parked along the street as we knew it would be a quick trip in & out. It's located in a clear spot though and identified more clearly than similar places. We'll definitely be doing out recycling here from now on! It's way cleaner than other spots and such a better experience overall.

My usual local recycling center was temporarily inaccessible due to ongoing construction, so I…read morechecked Yelp for nearby alternatives and found this place. Despite having only two reviews, both were glowing, which encouraged me to give it a try--even though it's a bit farther from home than some other options. The location was easy to access, and the young man who helped me (likely the owner) was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The facility itself was clean, and I felt the payout for my cans and plastic bottles was fair--perhaps even a bit generous. They also have great hours (Mon-Sat 8am-7pm and Sun 8am-4pm). All in all, I was impressed. I'll definitely be coming back to this location for all my recycling needs.

Also they weighed everything while I was busy filling out papers for first time customers , therefore I didn't notice that they did 3 separate weigh ins for 3 water heaters that I brought. One had a huge tare ,bringing down weight significantly, not sure what was it for. Then they labeled one as white goods, bringing down the rate .

Strapped for cash? Do you have a bunch of bottles, cans, scrap metal, electrical wires lying…read morearound? You're in luck! Go get them recycled! Not only does it promote earth-friendly practices, you also get some money back in return. Fortunately, there are places like the Downtown Metals & Recycling Center to help you out with that! What sweetens the deal with this place is that it's open 24 hours a day! How convenient is that? Word of caution: This is in Downtown's Warehouse district, which means it's not the nicest of neighborhoods. That being said, the later you go there, the shadier the characters seem to get. But does this fact scare away our heroine, her roommate and a Honda Fit full of electrical wiring on a Thursday night? Hardly. It's a little tricky to spot, especially heading southbound to the place since it's in such an unassuming building left hand side (It's just south of the Texaco in a blue building). What's nice is that you can pull right into the building, or park the car just outside or on the street (we opt to head right in). They have various containers of different sizes for you to unload your stash, but I highly recommend pre-packing your goods beforehand to make things go faster, then you can load it all up into a rolly bin quicker and you're good to go. They recycle boxes too if you used them for transport, but you don't get any money for that. Another word of caution: Yes. The place has a lingering odor of alcohol and bum. Yes, there are some unsavory characters hanging about. For sure you're going to want to wash/sanitize your hands and/or just bring gloves with you because the whole place is filthy. And it goes without saying I locked and alarmed my car whenever I stepped 5 paces away from my car. For those of you who aren't so keen on this kind of encounter, just think of it as broadening your horizons. What I found entertaining as my roommate raked in her cold, hard cash ($75 worth) is to step on the big scale for large volume weigh-ins. It's like going on the carnival where your weight is displayed at the cashier's booth. I haven't weighed myself in a minute, and it's a good thing, I suppose. But oh, it's off since I'm carrying this huge Rubbermaid container. Ah, wait, I have my cell phone with me, and my keys. Um, I'm wearing this jacket also, and these shoes have a bit of weight on them, too right, and there's my glasses and my ponytail elastic...
