What clients say about AIM Recycling Oceanside in Oceanside (CA)
This facility is large, clean, and friendly! Why I came here was because they pay the highest for scrap metal! Plenty of parking and easy to turn my truck and trailer around.
This operation is professional and efficient. As one of the very few recycling facilities in North San Diego County, that is very good news, and they do a great job. SAS
I love AIM recycling. Been going down there from San Clemente, only 20 minutes travel time, for about 5 years. Always great Customer Service, prices and it's always nice & clean.
Pretty good, because it's close if you live in Oceanside. There's no bin to empty liquids so you have to make sure your recycling is empty when you get here. Easy to separate, and there's little small blue bins towards the front for smaller recycling.
Also, if you never been here (first time) they will ask for ID, phone number, and to sign a receipt. I had to run back to my car to get my ID because I didn't know.
Have fun!
Brought some copper and brass and was never told that the min copper needed to be 2lbs. So wound up having to recycle as dirty brass. Staff not helpful.
Went there with my daughter yesterday. Super easy to access, unload your cans, get weighed and get paid! Best and most organized recycling center I’ve been to!
Clean and very effecient...to have a more smooth experience do your separating before you get there. All in all wonderful and close to home, been going to Vista for recycling.
I’ve been going to the one in Vista and didn't even know that the recycling place is so close to my place, two minutes away from my home! I feel a bit ashamed for not checking sooner.
The place is quite large and very well organized. The staff is friendly and polite, which is a nice change compared to my experiences at the other recycling center in Vista.
I highly recommend this area, come check them out!
Recently recycled 7 automotive batteries, it was my first time visiting the recycling center. Overall it was an easy, quick experience, with helpful staff.
This recycling center is fantastic! Not only is it incredibly well-organized, but the staff is also some of the friendliest and most helpful people you’ll ever meet. They make the process smooth and efficient, ensuring everything is sorted properly while answering any questions with kindness and patience.
It’s refreshing to see a place that genuinely cares about sustainability and its community. If you’re looking for a hassle-free and welcoming recycling experience, this is the spot!
Pro tip: If you're heading there on a Saturday, go earlier in the day—by closing time, there can be a line, and you don’t want to bog them down.
Highly recommend!
The service of the employees when I finally got to the front of the line was a 5 star, but the wait time was very long and the parking was cumbersome because there is only one way in and out of the small parking area. Backing out when done was very tricky as others were trying to pull in to the same small parking area.
I was embarrassed for what little bit of recycles I had, but I i got $9.14 which was pretty good, they even let me know that there is a coupon on line for 17 cents extra per pound for next time.
The whole crew was awesome! The gentlemen that showed me how to prep the recycling were very friendly and helpful. The young woman clerk, Jennifer, was very friendly and helpful. She helped me with the coupon transaction and got me a little bonus cash! Thank you Jennifer!
Thus recycling center is so organized and clean and efficient. The attendants were so professional and kind and helpful. Great vibes!!!! I love the planet! Thank you for your service!
Great experience, the fastest and most user friendly place to recycle my aluminum, glass, and plastics. The people who work there are nice and friendly. Josue, is a hard worker. He helped me with my recycling. Very polite, courteous and friendly person. The window person Mercedes was very kind too. Everyone should recycle here; 5 star service. I thank God for the blessing
Luckily there were few people so I was in and out very quickly. I certainly had the smallest amount of plastic and others to recycle, but the staff were super helpful especially as my first time and not sure how to navigate.
Will come back to this one with my next batch for sure!
