October 2024 Visited here for many years. They maintain a high standard on the way they operate. Someone directed the in and out traffic dealing with different kinds of customers. The interior and exterior of the facilities was organized and this a never ending yet dangerous process. The whole experience was efficient and effective. Great job for keeping “trash” valuable and the “mess” in order.

Review

The prices were very fair but the entire process was confusing. You had idea where the entrance or exits were. The exit had a very tiny no entry sign. Secondly there is no way to know what the weight of your load was until a tenant gives you a slip of paper with a number on it so you really don’t know if you are getting a fair weight. Lastly unless you have been there for you don’t know where to exchange your weight ticket for cash because the entry door wasn’t clearly marked. Nonetheless I will be back.

What FMCSA vehicle inspection history matches this registered carrier?

FMCSA’s vehicle inspection file retrieved October 31, 2026 contains 5 reviewed records matching USDOT 2335056 and the current registered legal/DBA name for ENCORE RECYCLERS INC, dated 2024-06-11 through 2026-09-28. 5 matched reports have a positive VIOL_TOTAL field and 4 have a positive OOS_TOTAL field. Across these distinct reports, the source VIOL_TOTAL values sum to 17 and OOS_TOTAL values sum to 5; these are reported inspection-level counts. This is the observed subset of a three-year file, not a lifetime total. The history concerns the registered carrier’s vehicles/operations, not inspections of this recycling facility. An out-of-service violation at an inspection does not establish a current carrier-wide shutdown or present safety status.
