100 lbs per day per customer. None of the messaging states so. I brought more than that and was told to come back as many times as needed. Wack. 96~lbs yielded 159 and change. Not bad i suppose.
My neighbor recommended this place. When I got there thought it was going to be a long wait due to how long the line was. It wasn't. It went very fast. The guys are very friendly and helpful.
Apart from the line of cars, everything went fine for me. Helped my with all the bags I had so that was nice. I weighed all the bags I had at work and everything was the same on their scale. I got paid then left, simple.
Maybe getting there at noon will be faster than 3:20pm
Came to cash in quite a few aluminum cans. Workers are very friendly and helpful and got me in and out quickly. As others said, timing is key if you want to have a smooth experience. It is a small place and parking is limited. I came on a Wednesday morning and didn’t have any problem.
When they changed the way we wait I went to a different center behind Foods Co and Wells Fargo in Oakland. For the same amount that used to bring to you guys over there it was 10 to 20 less and I don’t know if it was because they were stealing or whatever it was, but I’m not going back there again. I’ll deal with the wait with you guys cuz your outfit have always been honest and helpful. .
There could be some confusion when you're new and there's not a line formed across the street. It just takes a second to explain the procedure to someone that's new. Other than that quick and for the most part efficient.
This place has come a long way....very organized, pleasant and helpful staff. Timing is key if you want to get in and out quickly. Smallest line is either first thing in the morning o rlate afternoon.
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.
When I arrived there was only 7 cars in line and 5 unloading. It went pretty fast. When I pulled up to unload there was worker's helping and when they saw I had zipties. They asked if everything was separated. I said yes, they said I didn't have to dump them into trash cans. They weighed everything in the bags,so that made it a in and out. Definitely easy recycle day.
Been there twice since the Alco location on Davis St closed down.
Both times more than an hour wait.
Drove by recently and they seem to have closed down.
Feel bad for our homeless population as this is one of their main sources of income .
Many centers have closed down, probably due to China's not taking our '"stuff" anymore and that's probably due to 45's "I hate Chyna"
