What clients say about Golden State Recycling in Yucaipa (CA)
They are great. can take in old washers and dryers, vacuums etc. Can find used things that you might need like an another gate or fencing you might need, chair, table etc.
No CRV recycling here. These guys can't buy your bottles and cans. Their privilege has been revoked by the state permanently. This is not the worst location to sell your scrap metal. They will buy about anything. If it has an electric cord, a motor, metal of any kind, or can be stripped down to extract metals from it, they'll buy it from you. Unfortunately the weigh Master will try to under weigh and under pay every chance he can. When I confronted the WM about rounding down the numbers on the scale he paid me the rest of what he owed me then said he wouldn't buy from me anymore. I guess he cooled off since then because we still do business, I just keep my eyes on the scale. He still tries to short me even after addressing him with the issue hahaha I guess old habits die hard.
This place under pays you for the copper lies to you and tells you that the price of copper is down when it's not you're better off taking your copper to Fontana and where I got $4 a pound for it these guys are trying to pay me $3 Titan recycling in Fontana best prices for copper.i would show you a picture of my receipt that I can't post pictures on here. These guys are crooks I always telling people the coppers down in price when it's not.i got $114.40 for 28.6 lbs of bright and shiny copper and Titan recycling scales are on point they have them tested so often.
This place is horrible. They under weigh your recycling. I took some stuff in to get recycled I put it on the scale before using the cart. After using their cart it was 10 lbs less. My other stuff that they took in the pallet was a lot less than what they reported. This is not the first time I've caught them but will be the last because I will never go back there. So please stay away. Hopefully they get caught and get shut down
They once gave me and my brother $4 for an old 1950's metal stove weighing about 300lbs. Pretty sure it should of been a lot more, however, t's a good place to get rid of junk. They will take advantage of you if you dont know whats up. If you just wanna get rid of metal garbage and you dont care about getting what's its worth then it's a decent place.
I recommend to barter with them. Also, if your items are small enough to weigh them before you go in so you know what you have. Then compare it to their scale. Hell even bring a scale with you.
Bring your own scale, then compare and contrast haha. Sometimes things like stoves are too big tho. I hope they change their work ethic and morality one day to that of someone with true Christain morals.
This place is ridiculous they aren’t even slick it’s painfully obvious how much they under shoot the scale I had a bag of copper I was barely able to even lift over my head and they tried to tell me it was twenty pounds, I go to the gym often enough to where I’m pretty familiar with 20 pounds and my copper was far from it
sure they are nice enough! that's only because they know they are going to get 1/4 of your money in their pocket free and clear( by their I mean which ever guy is weighing your metal) you tell me how one of the garbage cans that you put your metal in weighs 14 lbs EMPTY!!? look at your purchase ticket people! they don't just rip you off by not paying you the per pound amount, they don't weigh it right either pay very close attention!!!!
I have been going here for a few years and they have been fair. But the last time I went and it will be the last time. They changed the price on me and it was the same material I had brought many times before. They didn’t seem to care when I told them I wouldn’t e back.
Not surprised the high reviews are from some time ago. This place has horrible customer service. By that I mean no service. I could not find anyone helpful much less anyone period. If you like showing up to places and wasting time trying to get questions answered, this is your place.
It's not like it used to be... they cleared out their entire yard. We liked to sell our scrap then peruse the yard for items we could repurpose. The place is still open for business but its not as fun to go there anymore.
Been going here for years. All the employees are really nice. Very helpful.
They have a huge yard of all kinds of metals, bikes, lawn mowers, rebar, post etc that they keep so you can also buy. As the saying goes "another mans trash is another man's treasure"
This place is the worst paying scrap yard I’ve ever been to. The service is horrible and slow might as well go to San Bernardino and actually get paid a fair price.
It's dirty, dusty and busy. However, they do more than just buy your recyclables. If you want to hunt through stuff they will sell you some treasures too.
This place is awesome an guys are so nice & friendly & helpful.. I love the boneyard they call it. They resell stuff people brought in to scrap.. The bad thing that would make this place way better is if they were able to recycle you cans & bottles there. Otherwise they rock.. The price are of August 18, 2020..
Great place they take just about anything you need to recycle except cans and bottles and surprisingly pay you for it !😀 Super friendly and helpful. Don't go anywhere else they were applying to get permit for CR-V recycling after
Re Planet shut down don't think they did get permit so still no CR-V
this place is terrible. Enter at own risk. Make sure to check the price they are paying you. They will try and pay you less that the board says for sure every time. It’s happened to me countless times. Only go here if you can’t get to Banning or Colton!
Fair prices on most.. better than the gas to drive to Colton I guess. Large variety of things people have brought in to recycle they are now selling. So much stuff that it took 30 minutes to walk through it all. Bargain with them.. and make sure to get the right price for your metal you have.
They have carts, baskets and things to move your metal. The scale is small. Be sure that all 4 wheels are on the scale. Usually a few people there. Sometimes there isn’t enough parking spaces.
I just think that They are getting a lil to greedy they don't even let u see how much your items weight so u really don't know if their fair or not and then they want to charge u a arm and leg for some thing that they paid nothing for
The experience was fine. Good place to recycle items rather than throwing them away. Get cash for recycling the items. There are no problems with this place.
They can NOT do math correctly nor do they know how to pay properly. Called in, asked how much for an old fridge- was told two cents per pound .Go all the way there, unload a 200 pound fridge and he tells me, $4... Two cents a pound would be $40 .I tell him this and he shows me the screen that says 0.02 per pound!!! Not 2.0!!! He argues with me that it's two cents, NO THAT IS POINT TWO!
This scrap yard does not pay the highest prices for your metals, but prices are usually fair and posted so you know beforehand what is being paid. The guys in the yard are friendly enough and it doesn't take long to be helped when you have a large or heavy load to sell. And if you like junk made of metal there is junk for sale piled up everywhere, and it's all for sale. I never saw anything but junk piled up, but as they say one mans junk is another mans treasure.
Great place to take your old junk metals and get some cash. I've taken in plasma tvs, a washer, and some rusty metal laying around the house. I've also taken in aluminum shaving left over from my cnc milling projects. They take brass, copper, ...you name it. Just make sure you presort it so you can get top bucks! The guys there are helpful and polite..unless they are getting swamped. They use too take cans and bottles, from what I hear, there isn't much money for them in it, but might come back in the future.
Before you pay to dump check your items, why not Get paid to recycle? I made a dump run and took recycling. I seen people at the dump paying to get rid of stuff the recycling center would of paid them for if they would have just recycled it! I made my dump fees back recycling a washer and dryer. Totally happy, thanks again!
