I bring all of my home recycle/scrap/appliance recycle here and they are great. Prices are highest in the area by far customer service is great and they are always carful when unloading with a forklift. Highly recommended. I have also used their trucking services and they are on time when they say they will be there reliable and have never given us issues. 10/10 for Everyone here.

Review

I freaking love this place! Maybe I'm just a loyalist with bias but the facility is always safe clean and organized. I am always treated well and with respect from the staff. As a homeless recycler there is not much dignity for me to claim but these guys and gals treat me like family and give me the dignification that I find hard to see.

What FMCSA vehicle inspection history matches this registered carrier?

FMCSA’s vehicle inspection file retrieved October 31, 2026 contains 16 reviewed records matching USDOT 2770821 and the current registered legal/DBA name for RECYCLING ON EARTH, dated 2024-01-26 through 2026-10-20. 13 matched reports have a positive VIOL_TOTAL field and 7 have a positive OOS_TOTAL field. Across these distinct reports, the source VIOL_TOTAL values sum to 45 and OOS_TOTAL values sum to 14; 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.
