What clients say about Colorado Recycling in Monte Vista Estates (CO)
5/25/26.... 1/3 to ask a question the gate was unlocked so I went in walked up cuz I saw people in the window one guy came out on a motorcycle I started asking him questions cuz my neighbor works there and he was wanting something I had he started answering my questions this other guy came out furious blazing yelling screaming that he was going to light me up he was going to kill me and bury me right there in his scrap yard!!! How long professional can you just come and yell at somebody for walking in and unlock gate maybe you should pay more attention to your own surroundings on your property I think this place needs to be looked into it is very sad to see something like that especially from a business owner.
Stopped to ask a question, gate was unlocked and open so went in. One man began answering questions and another man came outside screaming threatening to kill us and bury us there. Definitely something that should be looked into. Sad.
I never have enough to get anything in return, which is perfectly fine with me. Im glad I can just drop it off and not pay to drop it off, everyone that I run into there are kind.
Somebody from the EPA please go shut it down once and for All so many code violations and unprofessional kids working there.Oil everywhere on the ground.Scott Deacon the People need you to step up.
They gave high prices over the phone.And when you got there they gave you bottom prices Charge you to write a receipt Takes advantage of people that don't know anything about scrap or are senior citizens or Disable people
To charge me 4 bucks off the top to bring my stuff (ticket fee) is ridiculous. Especially when my total take away was less than $20! I requested cash due to no money to get the gas I need to get to Alamosa. They said nope no cash on the premisis for the last two years. This is a lie because I have done business here for over 10 years. Just sad.
very awesome friendly place to go to they always fair with their prices and always willing to lend a hand to unload your items...Highly recommended place to go to & worth the trip!!
Super low offers, they do there best to take advantage specially if they don't know you. Make sure you check prices cuz they will offer super low and once you ask they go up a little but still lower then what they offer at other places. Will not sort just have you throw it all together and give you a mix price instead of what you have. Will not go through them again
They are very helpful and customer service oriented. Brittany is so kind and great at her job. They are attentive to their phone and ready to help in time of need.
I have been dealing with this company since it opened in Monte Vista. I have always been fair with them and they have been fair with me. I gladly accept their rates in exchange for the convenience of not having to go to Pueblo. There is a ton of overhead that must be satisfied!!! The dumpster rates are stellar!! I will miss Luis & Brittney as my recyclers when I move from the Valley!!!
I saw the negative reviews here but have used Colorado Recycling several times and have a different perspective. With curbside recycling programs, you have to pay to get your unwanted items back in the materials cycle.
Just recently I took two loads of various scrap metal items (broken down mowers, old charcoal grills, old broken gates, etc.) to Colorado Recycling that would have cost me over $60 to dispose at the local landfill. Instead, I was paid $40 to be able to drop it off at a place where I know it will get recycled instead of taking up space in a landfill.
I found the workers there friendly and on each trip they offered to help unload. The scale readout is posted outside where you can see it, so you can calculate your weight if you want to check their math.
This is a place to get rid of your unwanted metal items in an environmentally responsible way, and any cash received is just a bonus. I am glad they provide this service.
Staff is highly unprofessional, not helpful, and a rip off. After we unloaded the scrap metal, I went back inside and said “how much was that?” and the guy said “well how much did YOU get?!” Because he saw that I watched him write down a number that was not what was on the scale and I said “how much did you get?” and he said “about 300... does that sound right?” .....how is it a guessing game unless you are ripping someone off?
I would HIGHLY recommend you take your scrap metal to an actual facility in the city vs wasting your time and efforts coming to this facility.
