Review

I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always been a good experience. As a contractor I have an account with them for the times that I have scrap metals to recycle that don’t pertain to CRV refunds and so there’s no waiting period for me to get paid on those instances. The place can get a little busy and at times seem hectic but if you know the game then it’s not too bad. The staff is usually directing traffic into the yard to avoid confusion when it’s busy and often times they will assist you in transferring your crv goods into the appropriate bins. Just remember the glass goes into the trash can style bins and the rest cans and plastic goes into the netted style bins. Save yourself some time as well as everyone else’s and have your recycling pre sorted before you arrive as it’s far too busy to try and do that there. They have a wash sink there on the right hand side of the first building lower level if you would in case you missed it. Always nice to have the opportunity to clean up after a messy job like that. They also have random items for sale such as bikes or filing cabinets empty 55 gal plastic containers etc. These items are not guaranteed to be there as it’s totally random what they may or may not have and will be located alongside the fence just inside the yard on the lower level. Always bring your ID and have it ready at the window. They often will include a nice two dollar bill with your crv return but not always. I feel like I get the most for my recycling at this location. I’ve been other places and left kinda wondering if they got everything right because I assumed I’d have a better payout. At quality recycling Im usually pretty content with the process and returns earned here.

What FMCSA vehicle inspection history matches this registered carrier?

FMCSA’s vehicle inspection file retrieved October 31, 2026 contains 5 reviewed records matching USDOT 2621346 and the current registered legal/DBA name for REYBRO INC, dated 2023-12-29 through 2026-08-27. 3 matched reports have a positive VIOL_TOTAL field and 1 have a positive OOS_TOTAL field. Across these distinct reports, the source VIOL_TOTAL values sum to 5 and OOS_TOTAL values sum to 1; 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.
