What clients say about Colorado River Valley Recycling Center in Blythe (CA)
I was told that there was a strict limit on amount brought from other AZ...
Actually, it's not about where you're from, the rule is no more than 50 pounds/day.
Awesome customer service, even kicked me a gallon of gas so I could make it to the gas station after I was thru recycling my cans and plastics. When I tried to pay for the gas they had given me, she insisted on me keeping it. Much appreciated. 5 stars
The first time I went I got 22 bucks for 3/4 can of aluminum and 1/2 can of plastic bottles. The second trip I had 1 1/2 cans of aluminum and 1 1/2 cans of plastic and one can of glass bottles that weighed at least 75 lbs the same guy that I had the first time gave me 28 bucks. I didn't even count it until after I left and went back to confront him and he said the 75 lbs of glass only paid 5 bucks something is definitely wrong with this picture when the guy next to me was riding a bicycle and got 58 bucks because he is a regular
I live in quartzite and hate to throw bottles or cans away so started recycling. Because I had more then $50 worth they wouldn’t take anything so had to load it all back in the bags and take it back home. California is really going off the deep end. I went home and put them in the trash. I’m done reclycling not worth it
Literally the best recycling place in Blythe. Been using it since I got down here. Organized, friendly, and fair. The owner is awesome and safe, Truth be told.., if any customer is giving a bad rating, it’s because they weren’t doing something right and are too arrogant to take the correction/ instructions to make the process faster and easier for everyone, I’ve learned how to organize my bottles and seen the same thing all the time , 99% of the time it’s the customer messing stuff up and the facility will try and fix the situation. Listen to the staff, they know what they are doing.
This place Is ridiculous Who just saves all the Caps to recycling bottles plastic. Thanks but no thanks. Just trying to help the environment by recycling But its not gonna be here .
Great place in the area to recycle. Lots of large signs stating needed information. Anything new, they inform me of so I may learn for the future. They have tables before the actual turn in to allow you to seperate before you go up. They work fast and are a clean place especially for being a recycling center. Staff is friendly, especially the owner.
Victoria was awesome. I am a dope that doesn't know how to read and brought all my bottles up with the lids still on them. She didn't scold me and turn me away like some places would have when you don't read everything on the signs out front. She showed me what to do and helped me do it. Great service and a beautiful smile to go with it. Give this lady your business. She is a hard working boss woman.
Victoria, thanks again for the conversation and help. God bless your business, may it prosper when others fail. Thanks again.
Forgot to wear a mask as i was scooting my recycling forward and got called out by the staff....im ok w wearing my mask but explain to me how none of you guys (the staff) are wearing masks aswell ?? Been there 3 times now and each time we learn some new rule of recycling about how they can't take it due to regulation. Honestly for the time it takes to de- cap everything and separate it the time just isn't worth it. Won't go back because of the hassle and the gritty staff....guess I'll just throw it all in my trash like the rest of america👍
I like the old owner, ppl was nicer. the new crew seem very rude and it seems they are more picky about what comes in and It also seems like I get less money for my recycle.
Very friendly staff, other customers were complaining about the mandatory wearing of a mask but I think it's a good idea, they have to deal with hundreds of customers every day
this is the only place i go, staff is friendly and helpful everytime I go! one thing is, I hate lines, and can get impatient quickly. but, if anytime I start getting hot and irritated waiting in a line of cars to recycle here, BAM! it's my turn already. and you can see these folks just flowing as a team together helping each car get thru as quickly and efficiently as can be. with the new improvements structurally, I feel safe being there, as I can also add I never see a single piece of trash on the ground, very well maintained! keep up the good work!
New in town went here pulled up next to the other vehicles was then told I needed to pull behind a vehicle so i do I get out with my daughter we stand there for 5-7 minutes waiting our turn then the guy says next so we go up and he says why don't you have these separated i say no one told me to usually I put them up here the worker goes thru them to make sure there all good then he says why aren't the lids off I'm like what are you talking about he's like the lids need to be off the plastics I said ok I've never heard of that he gets smart and says you must not recycle much then throws them in a trash can an trlls me to move out the way and go separate them meanwhile I can barely walk today due to my illness and so I tell him if someone would of informed me of this while I was waiting i would of done it he goes I'm telling you know I inform him his attitude and disrespect is completely unneeded he says you don't like it leave so then I get upset and tell him one day someone is going to put him in his place so my daughter and I dump our recyclables back in the vehicle and even as I'm leaving he's still yelling things to me laughing thinking he is funny.. worse experience in town I will never go back I will just take my recyclables with me when I go to the Drs in Indio California..
They are ok. They have shorted me a few cents at times, but also rounded up a few cents at other times. It is clean and usually fast. The only compliant that I have is that they require removing lids off plastic bottles while other recycling centers don't and will sometimes reject some plastics even though they have the CRV for CA label on it.
Learn their rules and you'll come up on top. Very clean. Helpful and friendly. Fast, reliable and organize. Everytime I go, I get good money back. Love it!
