I weighed out exactly 100 lb of aluminum cans on a digital scale they gave me 80 lb worth. I'm absolutely 100% sure they're ripping people off!

Got in line around 1130am. Came with a huge truckload of mostly water bottles and a bins worth of cans. A little less than an hour later after everything was sorted and weighed, I left $183 richer. Don't come in your nice clothes, depending on where you are and how much you have to unload it can get pretty dusty/dirty. No complaints about the workers either, they kept the bins coming as we filled them.

Once you get through the long car wait, it's a quick seamless process. There's no more than 10 people on the inside of the gate and all are masked. The only thing I don't like is that you have to take back all the containers they dont accept.

It was a hot day. When did they start asking for your drivers license before they paid you? Is that legal? I didn't see any signs posted that you were obligated to show your drivers license. I'm not happy about that. That was Friday today is Saturday. I have been waiting 15 minutes in the parking lot there is only one person in front of me. Yesterday 3 people unloaded at the same time. Why am I stitting here endless waiting for the one person to empty his recycling? When I entered the parking lot they told me to park in this stall. I asked the fellow if I could start unloading. He didn't give me an answer. After waiting 15 minutes I got out to ask one of the workers. When can I get started . He told me that it's self explanatory that i should have known to start unloading after I parked. The customer needs a little help and direction of what the procedures are.
