This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
In Oceanside, CA, reviews of AIM Recycling Oceanside are mixed with a negative tilt (55/100). Strengths: several buyers praise friendly, fast help—especially from Rayo and Fernando—good prices, and at times a broad inventory with quick delivery. Common complaints: customer service issues (rude front desk, refusals on returns, bad fit advice), pricing surprises (high or changed quotes), and quality problems (failed transmissions, wrong parts). Yard organization/part-finding feels hit-or-miss; some visits are quick, others involve delays, being rushed, or turned away. A few notes suggest unclear inventory status.
Very interesting today they had a coffee with the manager for you to talk about safety and recycling and things that go on here recycling center I was hailed over by Danielle who was very friendly and knowledgeable about recycling. I had a great idea.... use the recycling trash bags that people bring in and throw away and reusing those to go out and collect more recycling as long as they dont smell yucky. Thank you have a great day recycling.
First time here. Man was closing the gate as I approached, he said he couldn’t allow any more cars on the property, so instructed me to park out front and walk my recycle bags in. Large area, pretty clean , considering what they ate doing on the property. Very friendly and helpful cashier. My new place to recycle! Great job, AIM!
If I can give them
Minus stars I would. They gave me salvage prices just because the labels were off the Gatorade bottles. Which is something I never heard of nor is your signage on top of that the cashier lady was very rude and cussed at me. I will never go back to this business. Beware there are cheap and We’ll try to figure out how to give you The least price possible. They give Oceanside a bad name.!! now I have to go to Tri-City, which is further, but I’d rather drive further than deal with Such thieves it’s not the money. It’s a principal they’re cheap and unprofessional
I recycle metal, and AIM Oceanside is a great facility. The yard is nice, open and spacious with a huge outdoor area in the back to unload your truck, trailer or car. It's not cramped at all, with plenty of room to unload. The guys have forklifts too, to help you unload if you have something heavy. AIM also has a roll-off service, if you have a big metal project and need a big dumpster at your house or business. They'll drop it off, and pick up once you're finished loading the dumpster. It's super convenient, and saves a lot of time if you have a big load. If you do cans and bottles they have great CRV prices also, and sometimes have special promotions and coupons. The girls in the office are so kind and helpful. It's a great place. Highly recommend it.
As a class a driver Great experience with Aim Recycle!
Aim Recycle makes recycling easy and stress-free. The staff are friendly, professional, and clearly care about doing things the right way. The process was quick and well-organized, and I appreciated how clean and efficient the facility is. It’s great to see a company that’s committed to helping the environment while providing excellent customer service. I’d definitely recommend Aim Recycle to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible recycling service.
It was my first time here, and we were helped right away to weigh our plastic and aluminum items, the guys were helpful as the cashier was very polite, I will definitely come back here again. Thank you AIM Team!
Only location in Oceanside that I go to to sell my recycleable items. Super friendly, organized, always parking available and it never takes long to do the task. Highly recommend this location for selling your recycling. Lucero was very helpful and friendly.
AIM recycling is the smoothest of processes for recycling. You come in grab your bins and start sorting. The workers are friendly and courteous to every person around. Usually you feel a sense of being rushed or rudeness from employees elsewhere but over here at AIM it’s like a whole different vibe. Makes you feel good for coming here to recycle. Keep it up guys. You are awesome!!!!
They made recycling easy! I really liked their system. It might be something you over look, but I'm from Colorado and we don't recycle like this... Anyway the employees where very nice and helpful!
My goodness, how can I express my adoration for this GEM OF A RECYCLING CENTER in Rattle Snake Canyon in Oceanside, Ca? Well, I can tell you that they have saved my family from going hungry and they have put gas in our cars making possible to continue moving forward. Saved the day on many birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas' and other special occasions! All of this PLUS they are helping the earth! TY
AIM! $2 bills are cool too!
It’s always clean nice customer service, recommend to anyone who’s looking to help our planet by recycling. We’re here every month and get a fair price for bottles
Hey everyone! This is Chris the Cowboy. I love AIM Recycling! I so enjoy bringing ducks to the lovely ladies in the booth… they even decorated one with a cowboy hat! Such a good experience and nice people! Make sure to ask for the coupon price!
Great place and friendly staff! I had no idea this place existed so close to home ! We had a microwave we needed to get rid and the process was super easy. Drove up and staff helped me unload it ( since I am pregnant and can’t lift). Went to cashier and he was super great at explaining what they did and not accept. Definitely recommend this place.
This is the best place for recycling in Oceanside they pay the highest rates they usually have a coupon that makes you even get more they are very helpful in assisting bringing recyclables from car to where they weigh them would highly recommend
Came to Aim Recycling for the first time and had no idea how they functioned. A kind lady came outside of the hut and helped by explaining how it worked. Then a gentlemen saw me struggling pushing the carts and I wasn’t expecting for him to help because they are busy but he did and I appreciated it . So, So far their customer service was a 10.
I’ve been coming here for years. Every person has been helpful and KIND. It feels good bringing my recycle to this location. It feels even better to get the cash!
Literally love coming here! They’re so clean and provide you with bins and instructions on separating the bottles. You can recycle so many materials for $$$. You save the environment and get to meet all the friendly amazing staff.
Not only is AIM Recycling Oceanside well ran, clean and relatively easy to get to, I really appreciate the quality of service from everyone that works here! All are friendly, hardworking and professional. No matter what amount I get, I always leave with a smile
The device is easy to use and provides good view of inner ear. It saves me a $60 doctor visit when I can look into my own ear and see if it’s infected or not or if there’s wax buildup
The woman, Lucero, who works behind the window is a gem, so kind. The other workers were super helpful as well since I had no idea what I was doing. I would suggest to bring big loads of bottles to make it worth your while. Wear latex gloves.
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.
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!
