  They’re really good to help you with all of your recyclables out of the car and wet and give you a tag. Can you go collect the money?

  If you go after 2:30 PM on any Saturday the speed of the wait time is not that bad.

  This has gotta be the best CRV spot in the bay area. They unload the cans for you from the car! And on top of that seem to pay higher than other places. Amazing. Only slight downside is you may have to wait a few in the drive up line when it's busy but what is your time really worth if you're thrifty like me and collect cans in the first place lol

  Love this place, all recycle business need to job on how it should be done. Fast and efficient. You wait in the comfort of your own car, you can always check online to see how busy it a d choice to go at another time.

  You can recycle your water bottles and cans. But the waiting line is taking too much time.

  Fast and easy drop off process. Line can get long depending on day of week and time. Get in vehicle line and make sure your doors (trunk) are open -- staff will pull the recycling bags from your vehicle themselves. Pull around and park, staff will bring the receipt....take it to the cashier (id required for payment over $100).

  A very nice recycling facility. I heard of many people complain about the buy back rate is too low, I full loaded my car with plastic bottles and cans (1:1) , and got $64 , not bad.

  Line was sorta long but moved fairly quickly. I beatin out my music & the guys workin appreciated it as they started to groove to the beat & didnt ask me to turn it down. They pay cash today with fair rates. I look forward to going back and would definitely recommend to everyone. Thanks Tri-Ced.

  With Tri-Ced being one of the only places for redemption on plastics and cans, I decided to go there. I noticed that it was posted as being busier than normal. As I drove into the driveway, there was not another car in sight.. They waved me in. They were polite in letting me know how things usually work around there and they were fast. Hopefully all my future visits will be as good.

  Very busy on Tuesday! Staff very professional! Wait line organized. Customers were a real problem. One customer got out of his Prius and was wandering around the lot! Another one ran out of gas in the line and was again wandered around holding a gas can asking for some gas! He was still setting where he stalled as I drove away!
