Just check their website before you go so you don't waste a trip *NOTE = For Household recycling, they are really only opened Wednesdays - Saturday's. I showed up on Monday looking like an idiot and had to come back again on Wednesday. Someone posted a picture on yelp with the hours and I think they are accurate. General Process: 1.) You turn into the center 2.) Household Recycling is immediately on the left 3.) You back into a designated spot and open your trunk 4.) Fill out the recycling form (Name, Address, Signature, etc.) Pretty painless and I thought it was great. If it's not out of your way and you want to try to help the environment rather than throwing it in the trash, this is the place to go for Fremont Residents.

Our trashcan was taken by Republic Services driver, which I get, it happens. However, it's been almost 3 months and we still have no words when our new trash can is here. We're getting charged, yet, cannot use their service for the past 3 months and god knows how many more months. Edit: Originally a 1 star due to us having to wait 3 months for a trash bin that is no one's fault. The customer service rep was understanding and helpful. We now expect the trash bin to arrive sometime next week.

I reported that our waste bin was not picked up assuming the driver missed our home. Got a text and…read moreautomated phone call that it will be picked up by end of day. However, I found the bin still full the next day with no new updates from Republic Services. I reported it again and this time got a phone call from an irate employee informing in a very condescending tone that I had created the problem by putting in an object that is stuck and does not empty out trash on the hopper. I was a bit confused as the bin was half empty and the obstructing object was smaller than the bin(note that our bin is a full size bin). At this point, I again got an earful, was deemed argumentative and was threatened that the next pick up will also an issue if I do not resolve the problem. Note that the employee never acknowledge that they missed telling me about the situation yesterday and are sharing it now as I reported the issue again. I also don't think I was arguing, I was a bit skeptical that the said object would block emptying out a full size bin and certainly did not want to imply that I don't believe the driver. I do appreciate it that someone came out to attempt to pick up but I did not appreciate the lack of communications which required me to follow up and definitely don't appreciate the tone and attitude of the employee who called me with an update. I would rank this as my worst interaction ever with a representative of a business. FWIW...since I had remediate the problem, I flipped the cart and everything toppled out including the obstructing object. I dumped things back in but with the obstructing object at the bottom of bin. Lets what happens next week.

Man said he was going based off what was in the computer. After seeing the price difference I wanted to separate the copper to make a couple extra dollars since I had it mixed. I asked the man handling the transactions that told me a different price on the copper if he can lend me some clippers and he said he cant let me borrow them yet he had my ID and I was going to do it right in front of him. Words cant explain how frustrated I was. I ended up taking a loss at the end of the day and affected me mentally due to financial struggles.
