  It's pretty quick and clean. Most of the time all you have to do is pop the trunk.

  Guy doesn’t even look at the scale and gave me $52 dollars for at least an $80 dollar trip. Just be careful and ask to see your weighting’s

  False advertisement, a definite waste of your time. We came all the way from westmorland just to be denied because they closed at 12pm and it was 11:00am

• Eric Ochoa

  I was kicked out from the line because I had few bottles with the aluminum because the line had to keep going. It was not busy like other times.

• Kathleen Rhodes/Cavins

  I hated the fact of not seeing them weigh my stuff cause I take the same amount of recycles every time I do and get at least 200.00 and I only recieved 138.00 I really don’t think they are very honest people

  Due to its size, on three vehicles can be in line, but the service is professional and fast. This is probably the best place here in the valley

  Organized and fairly fast. I had one customer two cars in front of me that took 10 minutes.

  Easy in Easy Out... Staff take your items out for you and do everything for you. You just need to get out of your vehicle to go to the cashier to collect your payment. Staff are as careful as they can be with your vehicle. Be patient especially on Saturday there will be a line.

• Jorge J. Santana Sr.

  Drive through, minimal contact and they help place your recyclables in the receptacles.

  If you go here keep an eye on your cans, cause when they tell you to move your car, you'll be getting less than you think. 1 lb x 20 customers a day. 20 x 1.69 =.$33.80. I guess they include their tip.

  The SA Recycling are doing a great job! They are super fast! Very good customer service! Thanks!!

  You need to have all your recyclables separated, dark colored bottles separated from green and clear bottles. Everything needs to be bagged. Make sure your items are CRV Recyclable. Very organized and quick. Drive up, stay in line and remain in your vehicle when you drive up. The crew will empty into xancas/plastic bags, weigh and you hand over your ID, get your money and drive off! Good system!
