This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
From the reviews provided, sentiment toward MEC Recycling in Bakersfield, CA is largely positive yet mixed: many note fast service, helpful bilingual staff, and competitive, accurate payouts; others report long waits, occasional rudeness, unclear posted prices, and a few serious claims of being shorted or weights altered. Little is said about yard organization or parts availability, so that’s uncertain. Net: good value and courteous pros on good days, but service consistency varies. Overall score: 76/100.

Way faster to get all your cans, bottles, and glass recycled here than anywhere else. The guys there are extremely helpful too and will help you get all your stuff into the cans, and even sort your recyclables if they're mixed up. Good prices too, with aluminum being a consistent $2 per pound.
Very bad experience was there for over two hours couldn't take off because they had our recyclables and Guillermo a worker erased $100 worth of aluminum cans and didn't get payed for that in a grand total they didn't pay for about $150 worth never going back
The older gentleman was so sweet & polite. He handled business... The younger boys should be thanking the Lord they even have a job. Learn to talk to others, especially respectfully, or no bueno. I was trying to be nice and prevent the workers from getting treated rude by the men with me and ironically the workers were rude to me... So the recycling place is really nice just hope ur lucky on your visit.
Just got back home from a road trip to Texas for a few weeks. On my journey, I picked up cans and bottles everytime I stopped anywhere, be it a rest stop, gas station or a Buc-ee's. I don't just pick up trash, this is bum currency. All said n done, I got $36.48 for my efforts to help clean AZ, NM, and TX. Thanks litter bugs ?
I want to give a hugh shout out foe MEC RECYCLING. I went there for my 1st time,with a truck load of cans and plastics. I thought how in the heck am I gonna get this stuff off my truck. This guy came and got all the bags off the truck was so friendly. They also give $1.85 for cans and plastic bottles #1 are $1.29. Thank you again for helping this senior yesterday. MEC ♻️ RECYCLING HAS MY BUSINESS FROM NOW ON
I enjoy taking my recyclables to this place because they have excellent customer service! Also, they make me feel comfortable and they do not charge if my recyclables are dirty, which most places do.
I'll never recycle cans or scrap here again, they give you lowest price for clean aluminium scrap ( dirty price instead of clean price) the Mexican guy running the scale changes the actual tally weight by a pound or 2 every time I go there, I get overly treated like a criminal Everytime I take scrap in I'm surprised I didn't have to give a DNA sample, unfair, racist scale operator and ride owner. Take your scrap to those who don't rip people off.
Mike and the crew are out of this world. They are there to help you in anyway possible. When your day NOT SO GOOD they will do their best to make you smile
