Cal State Recycling, Inc.

This place is literally NEVER open when they say they are.. they change hours randomly whenever they feel like it I guess. Says they’re open but it’s 11:30am and it still says they’re closed.. what a joke. Update: went here yesterday to turn in some cans & bottles the girl running the register was pretty uptight and snarky. They make you do everything while they just stand there.. isn’t that their job? Lol ripped me off too just go to armona for your recycling. This place is a scam.

Would rate 0 stars if I could. My husband and I are from out of state but he joined the navy and we got stationed here in California and we’ve been taking our recycling to this establishment for the past 2 years but we went today and we’re informed that because we have an out of state license plate on our vehicle they could only give us money back up to a certain amount regardless of how much our total load actually weighed. Tried explaining that my husband is in the navy and that yes our vehicles are registered back home we’re from but that we’ve been living here the past 3 years and have brought recycling here in the past and have received a larger payout than what they’re saying the maximum is but I was then told basically none of that mattered and there was nothing that could be done. I understand having a company policy but when we have already been customer to them in the past for larger loads than what we just brought and had zero choice in the matter of being stationed in California some leniency should be warranted. Instead we were met with impoliteness snotty attitude and complete disregard for the men serving our country.. leaves little thought as to why the quality of life out here is so low.

Arrive at 11:40 today Saturday guy says they are closed for lunch until 1. Come back at 1 and it’s closed. With sign saying “closed for lunch from 12-1” it is now 1:10 pm and there are 6 cars waiting. This guy has been on lunch for at least an hour and a half
