Review

I'm only rating them 1 star because they NEVER answer the phone. I've never been there before. I have questions that need answered before I haul my scrap metal to find out if they buy old engines. Do they need to be broken down first? How much do they pay for the various metals? I'll change my rating if they respond to this review and how their customer service is

Review

A good place where I get back my deposit money when buying beverages. The workers act fast move fast and pay fast. No hassle if you have done sorting out your containers at home. No sorting on site. Also note that this place only pay by weights. I know that the government’s recycling site states you can choose to pay with the amounts printed on the container or by weights but this place only offers the second option. Anyone that wants the first option should look elsewhere.

My first visit to this place was a disaster. First of all be warned.. if you are not a '' professional'' collector of cans bottles and plastics you are in for a surprise. I just wanted to get the money I paid for my deposits back. My bottles and cans were quickly taken and weighed. I was paid $12.00 and change. Which was $10 less than what I paid in deposits. When I questioned the payment I was told I needed to state that before the man took my garbage to weigh. So warning to you all that just want your deposit back. Before anyone touches your recyclables let them know you want to be paid by the count. Also separate garbage according to material and size of container. If I go back i will just bring a few containers. Mollie Stones in Burlingame is much easier and you can do your shopping in a pleasant enviornment.
