Well if you get here by 8:30am you're usually in & out fairly quickly. I recycle evey month so I can bring all my bottles, aluminum cans, and glass bottles to get a little extra on the side. Everything helps. There pricing for all your stuff is very fair and reasonable. The staff are helpful I've been coming here now for about 1.5 years. Used to go to Action Recycle, but once they stopped accepting plastic bottles, that turned me off and away way from that place. So this is my new recycle spot. 😎👍🏽

This place should get a 4 star but due to changes they def deserve a 5 star rating. Every time i go to this place they guys know me and that makes it comfortable for me just lile any other business that recognizes someone it makes you feel at home. They recently moved where you sorted the cans all the way to the warehouse in the back and it's much easier at least for me it is. If you have your cans sorted before you get to this place you don't even have to dump them in cans they just take your bags and weight them for you easy peasy. It saves me lot's of time and it just saves everyone time. Btw you can take aluminum cans plastic bottles they take the yokult bottles also and a bunch if other things. One downer is that they dont post the prices of everything you can recycle. I wish they would. Also the parking place is not the best it's horrible they need to fix it or do something.

Can/plastic/glass recycling is not my favorite chore and I only do it once a year. I went there on 10/9 Friday, before 9 a.m. (as indicated the business starts at 9 a.m.), but a line was already formed (and people had more bags than mine). All customers wore masks and some even had gloves. Staffs were also professional, and signs (e.g. social distance, standing line) were present. I waited about one hour and got my $16.99 cash. If the place could be cleaner, it would have earned one more star.

Broke my back to get here at 4:12 and they were closed despite having hours posted stating they closed at 4:30. Please live up to your hours (or change them) to gain my trust and change my mind. Very upset at being fibbed to...

Where is the entrance? According to the GPS it sends me through some departments and I never managed to get there

The entrance is at the northeast corner of Duran's Pallets. Squeezed next to the tracks, you'll be turning south off of Brookside.

Does it really close at 12 noon?

I have some old wheels with the tire still on the rim..Do except the rim with the tire?

Leonard Clark | Sep 4, 2019
American Iron & Metal Co | Sep 4, 2019

No we do not accept the tire with the rim. Also when you sell rims, the California state law requires a 3 day wait for any non-ferrous material. So you don’t get paid same day
