Sun's Recycling Center - Recycling Center in Concord, CA

I have been this place for recyle bottles twice. I just felt the price is a little short but the staff and owner seems cooperative are charming. The only thing that the customer need to be mindful is that all bottles must sort thoroughfully. For example you will sort the clear green brown glass bottles separately and also for plastic bottles different color. They don't buy cardboard but have a dumper if you want to dump cardboard. Almost all wine bottles and alcohol bottles are not buying as well. Their parking lot is a little tight and all sorting buckets are stink.

I took in 600lbs of raw clean lead. I was paid 103.52. That's very low on today's market. Please learn from my mistakes. Drive the extra three miles into Concord and get a fair price for your hard earned recyclables. I also took in two large car batteries. They gave me 9.60 for both. 10 a piece is the bear minimum everywhere else is giving.At that rate it means I gave for free over half my recyclables as if they were a partner or something and they did nothing to earn it . They all have lovely smiles of course but lovely smiles don't pay the bills

Hello everyone please don't go here if you'd like to receive every penny that your bottles and cans are worth because they will only count up to 50 items a day which isn't worth the trip unless you live across from it. The person who weighed the 300 bottles I had in 2 bags told me that they would only pay per lb even though I had called ahead of time to verify with another person that they could count up to 50 items and weigh the rest which was upsetting. I also only got $9.50 instead of $15 since the CA CRV is 5 cents per bottle which meant that they legally robbed $5.50 just because they don't want to count. They also only pay .05 cents per lb for aluminum cans. I asked when they had placed the limit because I've never had to deal with this in my life living in California until now and they told me that it's always been like that which is a lie. Please stay away from this place if you want to recycle with an honest business.
