Ripley's Recycling Center in Ripley, WV scores 75/100 with generally positive but mixed feedback. Strengths: quick in/out, minimal waits, and helpful staff who unload and sort. Many say it does what it promises, though the yard can be messy. Weak spots: low payouts (especially for cans and copper), occasional disputes over grading, and curt service near closing. Accepted materials are inconsistent in reviews—some report metal-only or only aluminum cans, others mention cardboard—so expectations vary. Overall, convenient and efficient, but price-sensitive sellers may feel shortchanged.
Was told if I was there before 4 I could be weighed and paid. I got there before 4 and was not offered any service I barely had any metal to unload would’ve taken no more than 5 min to unload what i had. They were very rude about the whole situation. Will never go back to that place again.
Easy To get in and out, but cheat you. Tried to say all we had was steel. There was copper, steel, and other metal we brought (quoted est $150-200 elsewhere), but it was quicker and closer to us here, so we took our whole $11.
Great service but a little low on prices for the area. It's quick and easy to get in and get out and then keep it free of debris that could harm your car
Always been a great place to me. Comments for some of the people on here... 1. 30 bucks for 6 bags of cans in California? Well go back to California then. 2 didn't know they didn't take plastic or cardboard? That's what phone is for..call ahead and check before you drive.
3 months of saving up cans (6 giant trash bag fulls) to only get $9. It's a waste of time and energy to recycle. In California I would have got $30 for 6 bags of cans. I drove 1 hour away to get $9... pathetic. Don't waste your time
Here is my honest opinion, I collected my recycling cans,plastics and glass to just be told they only take Aluminum cans. What kind of recycling center doesn’t take glass or plastic bottles? On top of it all I had to drive 1 hour to them with three bags of recycling only to drive back home with two bags of recycling because they don’t take glass or plastic. I don’t think it’s worth the time and effort to collect recycling so I don’t think I will be doing business with them again. I may have to drive further just to recycle all of it when I drive to Virginia for doctors appointments.
