CW Recycling in
Mesa Verde Estates (AZ)

Drove through and dropped off an old window AC unit and a small fridge. It was easy. They seemed very organized and friendly.

Good guys out front. Sadly they don't offer anything on steel anymore but they will take it off your hands; the place down Main used to at least give a few cents per lb a few yrs ago before they went out of business. I've brought steel, old hard drives, aluminum, copper, and dead car batteries for recycling here. Copper is about the only thing worth your time if you don't live nearby - thankfully I do though. Aluminum in very bulk quantities can be. But it's nice on the other stuff to know its not just going to a landfill (hopefully).

They give. 20 cents a pound, other places giving 80, don't think so

They know what they're doing in there. With the horrible weather, I am amazed how polite and helpful the crew here is! If you have to recycle this would be the spot to come to.

Had low expectations...not based on anything else other than it's a recycle place...and they were better than expected. I was greeted with a "how you doing?" and was out of there in 6 minutes. On top of that, it was 115 degrees on a August afternoon so I'm gonna give them some grace :) Aluminum cans were $0.50/lb on 2025/08/07 FYI.

Sign says SATURDAYS 8am-1pm. Went today, Saturday 07/5/25 @11:30am, they’re closed. Gates are closed & no one answers the phone. If they had different hours due to the holiday I wish they would have listed that on their sign or here on their Google Company hours info. Van loaded full with cans & have to go some where else instead. I really loved this place but their hours are always wonky & never know when they’ll actually be open or not.

Love this place have great prices for aluminum cans and everyone is very friendly.

Have been taking scrap for a few years . always fair and consistent. local business owners need support especially when they are legit.

I don't understand how they could be as low as casa grande casa grande is usually a dollar under on copper and so are you when you bringing bright and shiny you say that's number two when it's obviously number one if I had any other choice I would go to a different scrap yard

We stopped in, looking for a shed. Everyone greeted us, wherever we went, asking if we needed help. We put a deposit on a shed, went in the next weekend & the shed was already loaded & ready to go! They delivered it, wothan hour! Lots of recycling options as well.

Go there if you want to get taken to the cleaners. They are greedy and don't pay nearly what they should. I give them a 1 because the guy weighing my so called better paying stuff was pretty cool. Don't recommend this place unless you are desperate for chump change.

DONT GO HERE. GO TO THE PLACE 3 MIN FROM THERE. JRs. I have never been to this place but when I called them and asked about price the guy on the phone was not friendly at all. Asked about copper prices and he was almost an entire $1 under juniors recycling. When I mentioned that price was a little low was was it the right price I got attitude and the phone call ended. Then they wouldn't answer my phone calls again.

Friendly people but do not give reasonable prices. Had 14/2 copper wire and got 40 cents per pound as they classified it as low grade wire. This wire is one gauge under Romex. Usually get $1/lb at other services. They told me I’d get more (double the price) if I brought them Cat 6 wire which is never worth more. Went to them solely based on location.

Just a heads up for everyone, aluminum can prices are now $0.30 lb as of March 9th, before that they were$0.60 lb for a long time. Otherwise I have always been happy with their services

Don't go here!! They scammed my daughter and her friend. The 2 guys working there laughed at them while they were weighing there large bags of cans and plastic bottles and only gave them $1.50 for 8 pounds of cans and 9 pounds of plastic. For some unexplained reason other than to be a cheapskate they subtracted a majority of the weight. My daughter and her friend worked hard going around collecting those cans and bottles only to be ripped off!!! Never go here!!!

Seems like everyone's problems are a lack of informing themselves or understanding givin information. Everytime I go staff is extremely friendly, happy to answer any questions I may have. When I do my math to get an estimate it's usually pretty close so no complaints here, Although we all do wish this stuff was worth more but it is what is 🤪

Shady! The workers combined my cans along with another ladies and have her credit for the cans I brought in. I questioned how they determined the weight difference and I only got $3. Instead of helping me the worker started yelling at me. After all the confusion I was told it was my fault for my paying attention but how is it my fault when one of the worker's helped unload my car but when he tried to tell them what I had - they refused to believe him! 🤔 Anyway, watch what you bring in.

Went there a few time's with.my neighbor, I think they are an alright place. Hard working outdoors in that heat all day, I give them credit there! Neighbor is always happy with them. I'd recommend them for recycling, they even remove sheds, and sell used sheds.

We thought this place was the best to go to until today. They always gave us a good price on our cans and good service. Today we dropped off 10 bags of cans which in the past would have been over $30 for sure all we got was $13 dollars. Don't think we'll be back

Fair prices $.80 - .90/lb on aluminum cans... Always friendly and willing to unload my car. Just found out about the rate on clear plastic, like water and soda bottles, @ $.30/lb so I'll be there with mine this week AND from now on... I am typically there once or twice a month. We recycle to help save the environment PLUS we get the bonus of a little cash in our pocket. That especially helps out when we occasionally get tight on funds at the end of the month.

Came in had 13 bags of crushed cans. Didn't see the weight of first weigh in. Saw the second weigh in. 120 lbs(assuming it was pounds). I could of swore sign said .80 a pound. Anyway my fault for being in a hurry. But I got 121.00 in cash. My receipt says 215- 120=95. Then underneath that 120-63=57. Then next colum 76.00 underneath that 45.60 with a line below that then 121.60. now what is that all about? Can someone explain. By my calculations it should've been 268.00. maybe I'm seeing things wrong but I feel they got one over on me. My fault for being in a hurry. And yes I still have my receipt if someone can explain it to me? You got 2 stars for how quickly they were to unload my truck. Now if I'm out of line here and someone can streighten things out. I'll come back and give a better review. And please don't say it all depends on market value at time. ALL the other recyclers say that. If that's true then you are going minute by minute what the market is at that exact moment. I would find that hard to believe. I just don't wanna feel like I got burned. Last 2 times something like this has happened. That's why I came here. I didn't think(hoped) white people wouldn't do that to other white people. When we all know these mexican ran businesses give better treatment to mexican people. Sorry for the novel but it needed to be explained.

I have been going here for 5years now. I have turned in soda cans and water bottles. They are friendly. The folks come to ur vehicle and get the bags for ya'. I come all the way from Pecos and Ellsworth. Keep up the good work y'all.

Do not take copper there, they advertise one price, give you another. Dude actually tried guess the weight of my load, instead of scaling it. Reply to Owner: Thanks for taking time to reply to this. I did not get the names of the 2 guys I dealt with. 1 dude was shorter with reddish hair, he cashed me. The other guy was taller, dark hair, ball cap, younger kid. He was the one who weighed the load. Only one time. Didn't weigh the cart empty. Load came in at 265 lbs. He wrote 200lbs on the ticket. Looked at the cart and said "it looks like it weighs 65 lbs" So 200 is what is on the ticket. Went to the window to cash out, was given $.30/lb. I responded with, I just called ahead and was told $.40/lb. His response was this is what it is now. So, long story short, not looking to get any more money from you, just not a good experience!!

I have used this venue several times. Our family recycles our water bottles and soda cans. We always go on Saturday’s as we are working during the venues hours of operation. Today (Saturday), my son loads up his truck and I load up my SUV. We get to the location around 10am. They are closed. It was wasted time and gas on our part for them to be closed with no notification. Their posted hours of operation on Saturday is 8am til 1pm Response to owners reply: **my son spoke with someone who was inside the gate - who stated ‘they were closed’ - additional information such as ‘owners went to get more money or we will be open again today!’ Just told my son they were closed. ** not good business practice for sure. There was also another customer that was behind us but drove away**

I started taking my young son in to turn in cans so he could make a little money and do something worthwhile. I haven't gone to another recycling center because every time we go there these folks are super sweet! They have even given my son a little extra for his time and effort. He was a little disappointed that he "didn't get more" money for his cans but he's a kid so expectations are usually pretty high. The prices are very fair and the people are fantastic!

First time there. Price per lb. for cans was on a sign right by the entrance so I knew before even pulling in. Very convenient. In and out in about seven minutes. Associates were helpful. Will recommend.

Quick Service...one of the employees came right to the truck as I pulled up to help me grab my cans, and we were put on the scale within 30 seconds. Went right over to the payment window, and was back to my truck within two minutes of arriving.
