I have been here probably 12 times. Every time it's been a positive experience. No troubles ever on turning in my recycling. They rarely reject anything Ive brought. And always got paid close to what I anticipated. Great people even awesome hard working men! Honest and dependable too!

My complaint at this place is the lady at the check out desk is pretty rude and is consistently rude each time I come. Not sure if it’s because I am not a Spanish speaker or what but there is no reason to be as rude as she is. Plus she is always in her phone. Otherwise everyone else is friendly.

Quick and easy. Bring gloves and wet wipes... The bins have been used a lot. Seperate before you go if you can as it will make it easier your plastic cans and glass. The staff are friendly and helpful. You get a receipt with the money.

What historical Wage and Hour Division case findings are recorded here?

DOL’s concluded-compliance-action dataset records 1 matched case for this employer name and physical address. Case 1809747, recorded trade name Temple Recycling Center Corp, employer legal name Temple Recycling Center Corporation: findings period 2015-02-04 to 2017-02-03; source case violation count 1; back wages agreed to pay $0 for 0 employees in that agreement field; civil monetary penalties assessed $0. Findings dates describe when findings occurred, not when the case opened or closed; findings can include no violation found. Agreed-to-pay and assessed amounts are not proof of payment or a current balance. No amounts or employee counts are summed across cases or statutes. DOL changed violation counting for records loaded from October 1, 2025, so those counts should not be directly compared across that cutoff. Historical employer names do not establish current ownership, legal registration or ongoing violations. Source: https://data.dol.gov/datasets/10362
