The guys here are super helpful and easy to work with. The guy weighing was knowledgeable and very helpful. The guy behind the counter was good as well. For as many "interesting" people they see every day, they are always easy going yet, work their a$$es off!! I always appreciate your help and the business they run here is run well from what I've seen. I'll be back when I drink more cans of pop!! Lol. Thanks guys!

Love this place only place I go know all the guys that work here but lately if it wasn't for Larry knowing what he is going the way there yelling out what metals are on the scale and weight then I would loseoney cause there calling 30% when it should be 50% not happy they need to figure it out

They bumped me to the front of the line during closing time cuz I needed an empty truck to wake up to. Good chunk change as well for 7 . 50 gal full of uncleaned wire

Expect it to be closed earlier than stated because they're super lazy and must hate their jobs. They will all have a very poor me attitude be very rude and rip you off if you don't watch the scale. I was told this so I investigated myself and all three times different days of the week inquired an issue. First time scale weight was different than stated, second time closed early third time weight was stated under scale readings and came back five minutes before closing hours and it was closed. My stated experiences are 100% accurate. My suggestion is using a different recycling service Spokane had a few. If you still attempt to use this one don't show up around closing, expect horrible customer service they are very rude employees and watch the scale.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Can you recycle old door hinges that are metal?

Rhonda Coyle | Aug 19, 2021
Larry Johnston | Aug 19, 2021

I think they take most metals. Door hinges are usually steel and you get about .05 cents a pound. You might try Facebook Marketplace for a higher price. All my opinion!!

Do THEY BUY empty plastic bottles? If not, any know who does?

Yin Rose Yang Petals | Aug 19, 2020
Action Recycling Inc | Aug 19, 2020

Plastics are hard to get rid of here in town because they have negative value. That means it costs more to have them recycled than what they are worth. So we recommend that you utilize the curbside recycling containers or the transfer stations and the WTE plant. They will all take them for free.

Please give me a call and I would be happy to discuss it with you. We have a great reputation, and try to do EVERYTHING to help our customers receive the most amount for their material. Update: Sandra, I found your invoice. Looks like you were selling Silver. We paid you 30 cents per gram on scrap sterling. I don't know of anyone else in town paying that much. You are welcome to come back here and pick up your stuff. I have it on my desk, and you can sell it elsewhere. I am not worried about the $6.88 ... Just come get your material.
