Management needs to address the skimping problem especially when it is stated so many times and so obvious to the customers. Pay there employees a little more so they might not skimp.
They are open Tuesday thru Saturday. Went to recycle yesterday. Super busy 5 people in line a guy with 5 bags of stuff. 4 people ahead of him. He walks up talking to the guy weighing orders. He proceeds to ask him if he had to wait inthis long line. The guy tells him no. He proceeds to take the cans and empty is bags. Now we don't have enough cans for our order and it was our turn. Complete jerk move!
States they close at 3:30, current workers refuse customers at 2:45 "closing soon, need to clean up" if thats the case then change your hours. Or change policy. These new workers have either gotten lazy or policy changes have made then seem that way.
This place is terrible, they skimp what they pay you if you take in large amounts. The original tally on his calculator showed $131.00 and he gave me $52. I’ve taken in a lot less and gotten more money. And when I asked him about it he just kept saying this is the amount. If you go here make sure you witness everything and do your own calculations. Otherwise you’ll get screwed
The guy that works at the recycling center register weighed my aluminum and it totalled 37.8 lbs he only paid me for 34lbs. When I questioned him he said I was wrong. He refused to re-weigh them and had the other guy dump the cans in with the bulk cans they had on hand. I will be contacting the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery and any other available agencies about this situation.
Don't bother, just throw your recycles in the trash. I got $7 for 3 full bags of crushed 16 oz. plastic bottles from Costco, and other CA plastic containers and about 30 alum. cans. I used to get about $13 for the same amount 2 years ago.
Was hoping to have a good experience despite the reviews lol. Sadly I took a whole bunch of plastic there as it was my first time.
The helping said this is all trash and took out a couple things that they did recycle. He never went through it properly as I know there was a bunch of other stuff that was definitely recyclable.
They will take the following:
-CRV labeled stuff
-Milk bottles
-All Glass
-Cans
They WONT take: (at least from what the guy said)
-Muscle milk protein plastic bottles
-Laundry detergent containers
-Plastic egg trays
-Clorox wipe containers
-Any hard plastic (took some old plastic Tupperware)
-Empty plastic apple sauce containers
-Plastic protein powder containers
-Plastic bbq/ketchup sauce containers
-Plastics Mio water flavor containers
-Yogurt containers
-Any plastic bottle that has ♻️ on it and doesn’t say CRV
Hope that helps! Would much rather recommend going to Benites Recycling in Lancaster or if you have access to the Edwards base, those are much better options!
It's an alright place. It definitely needs a power wash there, lol!
Some of the younger male workers have purposely skimped out people's recycling, not properly inputting recycling, and has explained that they don't take certain kinds of recycling even though on their recycling plaque (which is above there register) has the price and recycling number.
Check out their recycling plaque before recycling.
Owners seem very kind.
They cheated my son!!! He could've gotten 3 times what fields gave him for all his hard work!!! Everything was clean...well packaged!!! Mojave would have paid him $55. For all he brought!!! We will never go there again!!! We learned by this mistake!!! Cheaters!!!!!
Do note that they only accept cans and bottles. No paper or cardboard or plastic containers other than CA CRV bottles. But they do pay you for CA CRV containers
Watch your baskets when filling them. One of the workers took my basket inside. They helped several customers with smaller batches before me and when it was my turn they did not have my first basket. I let it slide its only a couple bucks but it's the principle.i will never go back.
Yes most people are nice there and fast. That was until today. Based upon internet search I thought they were open Monday. Looked at sign outside building at 830a, closed. But today Tuesday I came at 1145a not 12p when it’s advertised they take lunch and was turned away. I tried to tell female employee that I saw they were open Monday and to get it changed online so others won’t think the same.. She raised her voice and pointed to the door those are our hours! Male coworker came outside to raised voices. Came in again at 305p and employee said he had to meet their truck and take his coworker home, he was in a hurry and couldn’t be late. So looks like inconsistent hours of operation. Additionally their voice mail is not set up/they don't answer their phones so you can call and inquire.
I have no idea what the bad reviews are about. Every time I come the staff is very friendly and quick! I’ve always had great experiences when bringing my cans here. Some people are just too lazy to empty out their own stuff into the bins, it’s not that hard people🤷🏽♀️you do your part and they do theirs, it’s that simple and some people make it so difficult for them.
Never open when they say they open been going 4 days in a row trying to turn in my recycling day 1 out of money . Day 2 and 3 closed because snow come on this is tehachapi it snows they salt and plow every road to your location . And you cant make it to open your bussiness HORSE PUCKY...COST ME MORE IN GAS TRYING TO RECYCLE then i get recycling .
Most janky recycling center ever! The staff are all nice and they take all recyclables, however they don't pay you for all types of CRV. They just tell you that it's "scrap recycling" and take it and give you a penny per pound, which is not correct at any other recycling center I've been at. Will NEVER be returning.
My recycling was not separated as I usually do and the kind young gentleman helped me! There were quite a few bags to go through and he made it so much faster by helping. Thank you 😀
They want you do everything. Which is no right for handicapped people. They get paid for there job and want you to put your stuff in the baskets. Very disappointed
Called them to make sure they were open. They said yes. Loaded up and drove to town. When I got there they said they don't take glass. They should have said something on the phone.
Very clean nice people fast service will be using this place again because of a older lady came up while we were sorting my stuff and her stuff was already and very clean and he stopped helping me and went and helped her and I really like that I had a ways to go and she was ready and I felt like it was very respectful thanks for be a gentleman 😊😁❤️ also nice sorting basket great idea
