Convenient and easy to do. They aren't as unorganized as many other chaotic recycling centers I've visited, and the wait isn't a long time, they seem to be friendly and there pay out is descent. Also they recycle a variety of items. All in one location. I will definitely be using them in the future!!
Although this is great place to recycle cans and bottles in person, don't expect to get a reply from their email or call backs after leaving a message, you won't get any response. On their website left 2 messages within a month with no reply.
Great place to drop off metal. Services include providing large bins to consolidate metal right at the vehicle. Staff generally friendly. Wish there was more shade for hot days, a vending machine for water, and a better handwashing station. The service window is awkwardly small and the glass somewhat fogged over.
The guys that work there are Very helpful. They helped me sort out brass, plumbers brass, stainless, and so on. Seem to be pretty honest. Be prepared to wait in line for a little bit but goes pretty quick.
In and out in less that 5 minutes. Accurate weight controlled by Division of Measurement Standards, and reimbursed for the items I provided.
Opposite of other places where scales are not complying with regulations, or being audited.
Excellent service.
We go here as often as we can. Anytime, we have a sizable collection of , we prefer to come here than anywhere in SF where we currently reside. We used to live around the corner from here! Only thing that changed were their hours bc of Covid. The employees all still wear . Good on them!
The place to go when recycling your cans and plastic bottles. Line moves pretty fast. Did two trips today and was done before lunchtime.
You can recycle everything from water heaters, copper wire, rims, etc. I even saw someone recycle a whole bicycle today. It looked like it was still in good condition, too.
Me and my husband it's our first time there for our recycling, for the longest time we go to blue line recology smells there is really bad. So glad that we found this place Zarc Recycling is better. The employees there they're very nice so from now on we go to this place..
I always have a great experience, they are very efficient and quick. It took me longer to put my recycle in the bins than it did going thru the line (1person) weighing it and then collecting my cash!
Awesome job everyone at Zarc.
Run very efficiently and easy to figure out what you need to do ot where to go. Times are very limited, but that seems to be more of a COVID thing, so gotta give them a pass on that. Otherwise, they could use a better flow when selling your products you bring.
Currently 1 of the few recycling places south of San Francisco. Anticipate a long line of cars because they have limited parking spaces. They have an employee guide cars in 1 at a time. Expect to wait 30-40 in your car, on a good day. Once they let you in, their services are fast and efficient.
Very nice employees. Very fast service. So far, ZARC Recycling Center is the only recycling place that still remains open.
Most of the recycling centers have closed down without leaving any notices to their customers.
