SA Recycling

Tim Almond

Went there with a full sized truck full of plastic bottles and a few bags of cans. The lead worker told me I cant recycle more than 100 pounds of water bottles, "OK" I said, I'll unload 100 pounds (Which BTW I had no idea how much I had) and bring the rest back tomorrow. I was told I couldn't do this as I was already here so they offered me .35 cents per pound instead of the $1.40, so I asked if I could split it up since I had my son with me, nope. Then I asked if I could give it to another customer who was there with a shopping bag worth of water bottles, so the lead worker pulled out his estimate of 100 pounds of plastic and then I gave the other 80 pounds to the dude who ended up getting about $100 dollars for it. Not sure if this was a scam or if this was their way of doing business.

Only reason they get one star is because I can't give them zero. I would suggest going to any other recycling business around before ever going here. They always close early, poor service, and rude lazy workers. They also don't take CRV on weekends apparently, would've been nice if they could let people know that ahead of time. Might as well just not be open on Saturday.

I called for their buying price for yellow brass. They said $1 a pound. I called a place in tumwater washington, where i figured I would get a low amount paid... I was told $1.99 a pound. I have to ask, why would they pay 2 times what SA pays here? That was an education for me. El Centro people get robbed any time the average joe who needs money goes to sell his stuff. A large recycling corporation, with centers in many places, paying 50% of what is paid in other cities. This must be the result of El Centro shutting down every other recycler in this city. Monopoly ring a bell? No competition means they offer whatever they feel like and we have no choice unless we go to a distant recycler. This is an example of what is wrong with America. We can no longer trust corporations to conduct fair and honorable business. They prey upon whomever opportunity presents to them. Don't do business with them unless you have no choice.

Claims to close at 4pm so I wasted time and gas coming from Brawley to find out by a sign that they close at 1pm. No weekends. Has no update on Google maps to inform they close earlier or that hours may vary. Very disappointed and upset with the info I was provided.
