Earthworks Recycling in
Spokane (WA)

The guy should probably retire, he doesn't seem to have the patience necessary to be professional, I was definitely discouraged from wanting to come back, other than to entertain the possibility of treasure hunting through the tons of junk clogging up any sense of maneuvering through the site.

Jim and his staff came through for us when were in a bind needing to have 2 commercial water heaters disposed of as we couldnt transport them ourselves without expensive rentals or having to wait a week. Their price was also very good compared to what we had been being quoted just to rent equipment to haul it ourselves. No moving companies or junk haulers would come get them. Im not saying they will be able to do this for anyone and everyone but it may be something that could be arranged with them in advance. We are most appreciative for their efforts today. Everyone we spoke to was very friendly and Cameron (the driver) was also very helpful and friendly.

Good place for recycling pay .1 cent more a pound for batteries than any place

My job has dealt with earthworks for 10+ years. I’ve had nothing but good experiences with them myself.

I've used this place many times! The owner is very nice and helpful! Also one of the only places that still accept small loads of cardboard.

I’ve purchased many! boxes and rolls of paper from Anthony for our out of state move. He is always friendly and helpful loading my car for me. He knows his stock well and is great at calling you back if you are looking for something in particular. I enjoy chatting with Anthony! Thanks for your smile and help!

I tried to recycle about a hundred pounds of 2 inch steel tubing last Saturday. Their employee wouldn't let me weigh what I brought in and had the audacity to tell me not to worry because they wouldn't charge me to drop off the tubing. Worst recycling center in spokane

Really appreciate Earthworks. They came and picked up old equipment and the young man over charged me by 4 times the amount it should have been. Earthworks called and said they would be refunding me and mailing a check. Really appreciate their integrity and honesty.

Came in for blue barrels and found obscure item we needed. Great place that has everything.

Extremely Terrible and weak customer service... That's talking about the owner, very RUDE and self centered individual!!! POOR work ethic!! I would suggest if you can Avoid this PLACE the BETTER OFF YOU WILL BE???!!!?????????????

Wow, over full area, hard to navigate super narrow lanes. But well well worth it. We made great money.

Great company was able to take more items than we anticipated. Super helpful company.

The guy here is a liar and a cheat called and asked for a price on 50 gallon drum he said dented ones with no lids are 10$ then i get there and he tries to sell me one with rusted out holes and falling apart for 10$ Shady Business dont buy here.

They pay cash for just about anything. But if you fancy your self a inventor and you want product materials and metal stole in sii forms of design you will save 65 % over what a home improvement or supply house will charge. Also the own a little store call the jukitorum it's got tons of brass hydraulic cylinders and licence plates old electronics and every driving kind of fastener you could need at dimes on a dallar prices . ...I could spend 6bhours there and still not want to leave. I mean we're asking you find a dental chair or a incubator for your newborns baby's. All about $75 so. It's 100% crazyk crazy I love the place .

It's a really good day to recycle most likely they will take it. The out side employees are very helpful. Give them a try. Everything is lower than usual right now but going to get better soon I hope

I have been going to earth works for years and dont know why it took so long to leave a review. I have brought various grades and weights of different metals over the years and I have always walked away happy. I see alot of reviews that say "they gave me less rhen last time for the same amount" the scrap price for non ferrous and precious metals changes literally every day. That's why the fluctuation in pay out. Save your metal when prices are down and cash out when they rise. Just my 2 cents.

Best place to take your recyclables. People are friendly and they help everyone the best they can. I was treated with respect

I would give a zero star if it was possible. I haul a load of mixed of scrap on a Simi regular basis, so I know what I usually get for a similair load. Due to earthworks being open later I came here not the usual yard. This is the first time ever I have been told we will accept cast iron for free. Usually its $50-$60 a ton, which I had close to a ton of. So I decide to just leave some of my cast aluminum, and one dc motor. I had 78 lbs of 80% cast aluminum, along with a all aluminum radiator, and a copper radiator, and one dc motor. For this $12 other places would have given me closer to $40-$50. When questioned about his prices the owner got very short with me. I took my $12 dollars and told him I would never be back.

I really like going to Earthworks Recycling! The people are great, the owner is friendly, and you can bring a lot to be recycled! Also it’s a bonus to go shopping at the Earthworks Junxtore! So much good, inexpensive, cool finds to be had! I’ve found great stuff from plumbing to art supply to good books and really cheap moving boxes. I recommend this business, it’s a fun day when you shop at the Junxtore!

Great place! Some great buys on materials, cool stuff. Fair buying prices. Staff is always helpful. Some of the low review are increadable, Really?? You are expecting a warranty on a power cord you paid $0.15 for?? Common sense is not so common. It is all stuff that was going to be recycled and sold near scrap value.

Worst recycling place in Spokane employees have bad attitude, regret even driving there and wasting fuel to be treated the way I did. Never doing business with them again I'll continue to give RS recycling my business they treat customers with respect

I worked hard for this place loved opening the warehouse/earthworks junxstore. sad day when one mistake was made I'm afraid even to go shopping for fear of being 86 great place for the artist Hoarders and collectors alike

I have me a pile of high quality circuit boards cleaning nice thick and heavy duty. Some still in plastic and brand new. This Yaehoo that I talked to was all interested in till I said I found them in the field. Then it went to no not at all and interested don't want them at all. So what are right now discriminating against where they come from the no matter they're condition. All I know is that put a bad taste my mouth so earth works I'm taking my business elsewhere even if I have to go out of town.

Sounds like a great environment i can spend all day in there finding great deals and good material to work with ?

Love this place. Easy to find odds and ends. I just wish they had it better organized and a higher turnover.

They are ripping people off. We bought in some cans and they paid only half of what the value is compared to other recycling places in the town. They lied about the value when we asked about it. Something is not right about that place. We are never going back there.

When it comes to recycling printers, computers and copper wire I liked this place a lot. They are open good hours and prices are fair or above others. Keep in mind they don't buy Iron or large pieces of steel., but beside that great recycling place.
