Prices were fair from what I’ve seen else where. One of the employees was a little hostile about what goes in what type of bin, this was my first visit so I wasn’t aware of the separating protocol that they use. No signs or anything on what to do. Other then that I’ll be coming back.

Redemption process is straightforward. Clean and well-run. Small parking lot. This business is very popular and gets very crowded with lines of cars waiting to enter. The staff is helpful and professional. They do a great job getting everyone in and out safely and quickly.

This is my favorite recycling place in San Diego. It's easy to sort your recycling and get out quickly. Juan is my favorite worker. He comes and helps me if he has time. Currently I'm a little over nine months pregnant and wanted to get my recycling done before baby got here and was having some difficulty bending down and he helped me get through my three bags quickly. I would definitely recommend this recycling center.

I have always came here to do my recycling and will continue to do so. They are very helpful and have great customer service. They are always working hard to help the community and the earth by keeping it clean of trash and stuff to harm the environment. I have always been treated with respect and always asked if I need any help. They even go as far as having a conversation with their customers. Not like other places. GREAT WORK GUYS KEEP IT UP! & I hope you guys have a great day. Chelsea K.
