Downtown Metals & Recycling Center in
East Los Angeles (CA)

Under new management ???

I called to find a place to recycle my small helium tank. They were rude over the phone and hung up on me while I was in midst of asking a question.

If there were (-) negative stars this place earned -3. No one is allowed without a vehicle; although I was on my bicycle. I hope they know a bicycle is a vehicle. A vehicle comprises of an axle, wheel, and moves or transports. This is not a good place of business. I did go to a competitor and was treated very well.

Got there late in the day but they were very nice and helpful. Easy to get in and out. A great way to recycle metal items that needed cleaned out from around the house.

They do this to prevent the homeless and other low income people to come recycle!!! Do not give them your service no one deserves to have a business when they can’t even respect the locals!

They should problably let the public know theres no walk in. I came on my bike 2.8 miles to find out i need ro pull up in a car. They didnt have the curtacy service me. If it was my buisness i would of attented the person since i didnt annouce it on my add,google ext.

1st time here, guy was very informative of what they take in.

After being closed for 2 years I started coming again , I love this recycling center , the workers there are young and helpful . They have good pricing on CRV material . Aluminum cans are 2$ the pound (haven’t found that price anywhere else near the downtown la area). Now you have to come driving in a vehicle to get service . Best part since before I had many problems with the homeless that would come recycle here , they would try to steal my recyclables when I wasn’t looking . Glad I don’t have to deal with that anymore .

They're fair on their pricing, yet they won't allow cardboard nor can you walk in to recycle. You must pull up in a car for service. It is near Skid Row where there are many homeless and low income people living in the area, close enough walk. This prevents them from participating in recycling, hinders cleaning up the area, and it can be a huge economic change for the community and company!

This was the place to go if you needed cash for your recycables on a late night. Sadly they closed but word has it they re-opened. Hopefully GONZALO and SAUL, the all star duo are still there.. great people to assist the customers..

Beware. They pay less than what they advertise on their website. They posted $1.80 for cans, but only gave me $1.57, same as others around town.

They suck

WORST PLACE EVER!!! BE VERY AWARE OR THEM RIPPING YOU OFF!!!!! They did me! They lie and change their prices according to the person as well as the person your delegating with. Better Buiness Should definitely investigate these people and the legalities of the stuff in there actually taking from people.

Good place they take everything!! Except your husband!!LOL!!!

Its not far away i can walk there

Every little bit counts

there Good they take everything
