Many cite quick service and convenience; wait times are short though it can be busy, with a messy yard and no shade. Materials accepted include metals, cans and some plastics (not all).

No parts to hunt—this is a buy‑back yard.
What clients say about Copper, Aluminum, Plastic And Brass Recycling in Sun Lakes (AZ)
Called ahead to ask about unit recycling
Told they pay 20 per ton. I said I have a 5ton. They said 100 bux. Told them I'm on the way
I get there. Gate closed. Out to lunch. I got a 30min wait
They finally opened
Took my unit to the back
Then a few minutes later. Asked if it was aluminum. First time anyone asked
Then after another wait they bring my unit up
Weight it
Told me I'm only getting 28$ a pound lol
100 on the phone to 28 bux
After waiting.
Sorry feels like classic bait and switch
No accountability or respect for ones time!!
Doesn't matter if u call ahead. Places like this always make up something last second to scam you
Took copper wire 80 for recycling and they under paid $0.75 less a pound. Next day took same amount of copper 65 lbs to EZ recycling and got $75 more. Won’t be going to this recycling place again
Turned in some plastic H20 & soda bottles day after Thanksgiving. Very pleasant & helpful, polite worker. Didn't get much $$ but worth the effort if u recycle. They take metal tin & soda pop cans. No milk jugs.
Just finished doing Business with Olmos Recycling today. What a pleasant surprise. Besides the competitive pricing, Jorge who is the owners son has a great attitude and has customer service figured out for a young man.
Thanks to Jorge for a great first of many experiences doing business with you!!
I've never been more impressed with a business' customer service. They truly go above and beyond to ensure that every customer receives the absolute best in convenient, friendly personalized attention with out sacrificing price. Thank you to everyone at Olmos Recycling! Keep up the amazing work you do!!!
Great service! Very friendly and extra accommodating. Twice they stayed open for us because we called to let them know we were on the way. We live in Gila River Rez and that means a lot to us coming from a very rural area. When we need some extra cash recycle is the first thing we turn to and Olmos makes that hella easier than some of the other further options.
Been over here a bunch of times - Very helpful and FAST. I always call before I go to make sure they are open before I leave. Not a bad practice to follow if you plan to travel a decent stretch from home.
We called this guy at 4pm one day and ASKED if he was open the next day. He said yes but we will be closing early so get here before 12. We told him we were coming from 45 min away and would be there before 10. It was critical to us as there is no recycling center in our little town. And we would be driving a long distance. We showed up at 9:30am and the gate was locked and he refused to answer the phone. Dont listen to him or trust what he says. He lies. It makes you wonder, what else he lies about? Weight of cans? Are his scales legit? Maybe it's better we went somewhere eles....
Drive all the way out here on a Monday. Online says they close at 5pm and it’s not even five o’clock yet and it close. Post accurate hours so that we’re not wasting our time for 0.70lb.
