It is really good place to go for cans and bottles. Staff is friendly, easy to get to and easy to get out of, wait times are usually short. My only complaint is their hours do not reflect actual hours they are open. Just assume their hours are 8:30-11:30am then 1:00-4:00pm. They quite often open late, close for lunch, and then close early. Hence the 4 stars over 5
Very unprofessional , bad experience, timings mentioned on Google till 5pm , written outside entrance 4:30pm, reached 4:20pm, even enter inside but no service provided, drive all the way so far, wasted time and gas.
We drove down from the mountains as other place closed down. Really impressed with this place. Clean near organized. Don't allow not separated people go before those who have things separated. Very nice young men. We will be back and tell others!!
Bad experience they pay the most cheapest on town for aluminum and you need go back to pick up the money it’s not worth if compared the gasoline for trips
When a business says it's open until 1, it should be open until that time not 1230 with the audacity to have a sign that says closed for lunch. This place is pathetic.
Selling metal wasn't very profitable to me, it sucked. Selling cans maybe okay, I'll try it next. Not really crowded in and out really quick. Enter on side street off Union Ave..
The thing that saves this place is the service of the staff. They're not a big corporation they're small so cut them some slack if they don't buy what you got they'll happily refer you to someone who will buy what you're trying to sell in terms of scrap metal
I was recommend by a friend to go here, so one day on a Saturday I went in with one tall kitchen trash bag (13 gallons) of cans. That day a nice gentleman helped me, and although it was packed nobody told me I had to park on the side, so I parked near the bins. I thought they had good service until today. Today I went in with one big black trash bag (33 gallons) the place was literally empty except with one person in front of me. They would not let me park near the bins because of trucks coming in. Granted I would understand if there would have been more people ahead of me to move to the side. But there was no one else except for 1 person and they were rude about me parking by the bins. They also paid me a lot less then the first time I went there and that is why I do not recommend this place.
Im Very satisfied with their service I never had any problems all the employees are hard workers and respectful and always helping elderly people that need help off loading their recycling off
This place should be investigated and shut down, these guys are the g
Biggest theives in Bakersfield, never go here, they will steal your money right from under your eyes, his two henchmen are crooked as it gets Louie and Arnold should be in jail, this place has stolen from it's hard working customers for years
I have been coming here for the last five years I have always loved the service. This place is far from my home but I drive her because they are always fair and willing to help. Plus the staff always treats me well
Well its been quite a while and were still here that means that we pass all inspection for weight and fraud. Maybe next time before you start to write slander on a company. Write down what actually happened like there was a mistake made with the weight and was corrected. People make mistake it happens. but people will cry. If you feel like your metal weight is incorrect why dont you take it back. You dont have to sell it to us, you have the right to take it back. maybe its because we dont server rose ice cream in the summer that people will call us thieves. its ok and FYI we have plenty of veterans that recycle with us and we support and honor them very much.
Rip off. I had 2 big blue trash cans full of cans plus 2 40 gal trash bags of cans. Then we filled 3 of there trash cans up with plastic containers and he tried to give me $45 I complained to Rick immediately and he gave me 15 more dollars. We re-cycle all the time and at 1.90 a pound the blue trash cans from the city of Bakersfield gives me between 38-45 dollars a piece. I will be calling weights and measures and consumer affairs. I also will notify sheriffs fraud unit. Rick be prepared for some secret shops.
I have been coming hear for years
They always are nice and willing to help. If they suspect a theft then
there is probably a good reason. Just in case you didn't know all Recyclers get notified if copper has been stolen. If you don't like Rick's try another reputable place and see if they don't treat you like a thief. That is when lots of copper comes up missing. I have a feeling you'll know when it happens.
Worst place to business with every time i turn in any copper material they treat u like a thief. I am more than happy to turn in my i.d and any other information but even like that they think u have stolen it or something. I know there is proper procedures to turn in stuff like that but sheeshh. Some old asian guys has the worst customer service skills u can clearly tell he's not happy to work there at all . I try to avoid that place not a great experience at all.
