I went today around 1:30 to 2:30 pm and on my receipt it said 158$ but when I got home I counted it and it was only 128$ so count ur money even if they count it for you count before you leave!!! Worst place ever
The ladies there were very nice although they were hard to understand if you don't speak Spanish it's a little difficult to communicate they take most all materials except for wheel weights but all in all give fair prices.
I purposely saved the same amount of cans that I used last time. Last time I received $150 this time I received $47. I watched as the lady behind me turned in 1/3 less cans than I had and received $39 when I asked the lady why does she get so much? She told me that the lady had 20 pounds worth of plastics and I had 25 worth of plastics. I literally watched me and my son lol triple the amount that this lady had on the gurney but because I went to wash my hands, the amounts changed. They are not honest people.
Update: Came here again after a long time and its worst! I went to my car to grab the other bags I had in my vehicle and again my total changed and someone with 2 bags of cans received more than I after a truckload of bottles. Shame on you guys!!!
The ladies always always always try their best even when someone is on break to consistently keep the folks wait as little as possible. I commend you ladies and Apple Recycling better be paying you all more than just minimum wage for doing all you do here!!! I am sure I speak for our entire community THANK YOU!!!!
They steal your money here, the effort that you put in making a buck and the ladies here weight your recycling and take note in a piece of cardboard that later doesn't match your receipt. It's always less than what you brought. They don't communicate and mix your recycling with others customers and pay you whatever they want. And they're always on a break and one is doing all in a rush making messy numbers.
I went there and got 2 50 dollar bills and they were fake the cops had to come because o was using them and I got arrested and now have to do community service and have to pay a fine because I recycle with them
We were there to day and this ladies are very rude they talk about people after they leave .if you don't speak Spanish they talk bad about you I don't speak Spanish but I do understand it .I go there 2 times a month and it's always the same. I wish they would get new works I had ask for the owner's number and they said they didn't have it .cuz I really would love to have a talk with them about their workers .so hopefully they really everyone's review about their workers .
Very rude, racist (yes I said racist) and felt like I was being discriminated on since I didn't speak Spanish. Clearly lady, I said "no habla Español", & it didn't change in a matter of 2 seconds. Since I didn't understand Spanish I felt as if I was taken advantage of. Confusing me of where to empty my recycables because you directed me in a language I do not know, but I'm not going to make a stink about the amount of plastics and cans. But I just know what I brought in normally brings about 40 something bucks at the recycle station in yucca, but instead i was handed mearly twenty dollars and change from your cash out. Thanks ladies.
What a RIP off!
Did they really think I wouldn’t notice the scale NOT moving after 6 items had entered it. Or, the fact that I had an additional bag (big black heavy duty trash bag) in which every bottle had been reduce BUT I only received a $1 (that’s right) more than my previous trip. Yeah, I checked!
CHEATS!!!
Open on Sundays til 1630. Easy sort belt. Walk right up.
I like when the computer generated numbers automatically. When they write them on cardboard sometime the number be slightly off. It's neither here nor there. But I wanna tip but my numbers don't match the machines. I actually went twice today. I helped someone clean out their garage and one whole corner was full of recycling from almost a year of pandemic recycling. We gave half to a passer by'r and the other half I graciously accepted. I started at 0700 and finished at 1400. The first trip was ligit, the second was questionable and that's when I'd seen the tip jar and knew what I intended on doing. I dropped a small tip anyway. Everything was prebagged not sorted. After the first trip They made sure to tell me to sort before coming to belt and I did. They do work hard but when the belt says 30.0 and I get 28.9 in plastic, 4.4 and I get 4.2 in cans., scale says 13.0 amd I get 12.8 glass. It makes me wonder where my extra weight is going. Not to mention the extra bottles on the ground she dropped from taking items off the belt. Again not worried about the small things, but this effects weight. A good Samaritan had cans only and about 10 bottles so she dropped the bottles on my load, so it really was no fuss. Good looking out ❤ though. I like the center and I'll be back. I'm always looking at my weight. Oh and I speak Spanish too. They speak over me like I don't understand, but I do. 😉👉🏾
AngelView is not recycling any TVs. In fact, no one in Coachella Valley (to my knowledge) is.
I went to Apple's as Google listed them and saw the shoulders and back of a woman who was talking. I thought she was on the phone.
Waited a few minutes. Said excuse me. And Hello. Nothing.
Walked back and saw there was no phone, just two other women chatting with her, seated at a table. They never looked at me.
I asked about recycling the TV, they shook their head and I dumped it. Sorry Mother Earth. When will we learn?
The ladies get the job done. They take cans, plastic bottles, and glass among other material. I would've given 5 stars if they listed their phone contact.
This is a plea to owner: I can understand you are 1 of only 2 recycling places in West Coachella Valley so who cares if you receive bad reviews. Customers will still line up around the block. But if you want to help make this world a better place and want only to pay 2 employees, PLEASE at least make some signs explaining some direction at your business. It's a catastrophy trying to figure out what to do, what line to get in, who works there, where your supposed to park, etc. I foresee your customers killing each other and your employees with their bare hands out of frustration if you don't.
I loaded my truck twice to recycle my cans & plastic bottles & Apple was closed, no hours posted, nothing. This past Wednesday November 18th I drove by on my way home, saw they were open, I again loaded my truck(now with even more recycling goods that built up), drove to Apple, CLOSED! No sign, no hours posted, or days closed! I’ll never go back, I’ll take my recycles to Venture recycling in Yucca, they’re OPEN!
Plastic, cans, glass paid ok. But, THEY DIDN'T PAY MUCH FOR METAL. (1/2 cent per pound). They seem to not account for different types of metals.. like aluminum and iron were the same low price. They paid me $0 for copper wire... claiming it was 0.0005 cents per pound. RIP OFF for metal.
I'm been coming for years to this location love the service definitely recommend just be ready by separating your plastic bottles in one bag and cans in another bag
Today is Saturday 8th 2020, we decided to take our recycling for extra cash to the this place but we honestly regret it. For starters the new employees are very rude it was this lady washing the floor with a high pressure hose and got me all wet with dirty water, I told her to stop that it was still a lot of costumers in there and she kept washing the floor, oh! by the way, I literally told her in Spanish but still didn’t understood, I’d complain with the manager and she told me “it was an accident” when she was not even there this is a disgusting place next time I will probably call the BP for an audit.
Chaos is what I would describe this place. No order, they barely speak any English. And they just rush adding other people's cans and bottles together. Not a great place to go!
They are letting the public know when they are open or closed. Some of us travel a distance. It is just common courtesy to tell the public when the recycling centers are open and when they are closed. Put it on your Website. It will be appreciated.
They were rude. Plain and simple rude. I got there 15 mins before they were closed abd they said they closed at 430. Just had a horrible experience with them. Do not recommend using them.
It's taken over a couple years for these hardworking gals to warm up with me. Granted my opinion was just as most of the poor reviews. Now after building a rapport with these women, I can say that integrity seems good, attitudes are now friendly and business to business crv pay is accurate and 20 cents more on aluminum. All other recycling I take to riverside as the pay on scrap and non ferous at a higher rate😊. Hope this helps. ✌
