    I recommend. It is self-explanatory. Very easy and quick. Fair prices! We were in and out within 15 minutes

    Today I was here at A-1 Upland Recycling Center with my Mom to recycle her 1998 Toyota Sienna van. It's been long over due like over 1 year over due. Finally, it's done. My first time witnessing the process... the tow truck guy pulled up onto the scale to get both the tow truck and van weighed. Then he unloaded the van and drove back onto the scale to get his tow truck only weighed. This process provides the before and after weights to determine the van's weight. Pretty easy system! Afterwards, my Mom and I got in line, gave the staff the signed pink slip, they gave my Mom the receipt to sign, and lastly, they gave us a copy of the receipt stamped PAID, and the moola. Btw, it's $0.05 per lb (subject to change). Hence, $100 per ton (1 ton = 2,000 lbs) if I did the math right LOL. It was an interesting experience. Staff was wonderful and helpful. If I have anything to recycle, I would definitely come here and support. Thank you A-1 for everything!!!

    First time doing a recycling, so I can't compare it to other places, but based on my experience, it's a good place. 1) Recycle all types of stuff. 2) you will need to separate different types in different basket, so that they can weight it. 3) bring ID to show to the cashier to receive the cash. Process is easy, and I came on a weekday afternoon, I just waited for 10 mins in the line, and there are enough parking space. The staff here is friendly too. The space does have smell and not that clean, so I recommend to wear mask and gloves.

    Visited on 09/03/22 for the first time. Very hot that day. A great place to drop off all of your recycling cans and to receive some cash in return! Please be aware that this place is smelly and not clean (the baskets where you place your cans are unsanitized). I recommend bringing some gloves. Overall 3/5. Parking can be difficult as well.

    Horrible experience. Much better to use one of the many other options surrounding their poor excuse of an establishment.

    A little crowded but efficient. Bring work gloves and cleanup wipes as recycling baskets are sticky.

    I have 4 brake rotors. Are they worth any money if I recycled at your place?

    Is it open today? I keep calling but no one is answering?

    Yes

    Is it open on Sunday's?

    Yes 9am-2:30pm

    Is this $2 check-in coupon for $2/lb or just an extra $2?

    The check-in coupon is for a one time use of $2/lb on aluminum

    Staff was super polite and helpful every single person from the people assisting with the recycling…read morepart and the cashiers. Positive attitude from everyone very early in the morning, which is something you don't usually see

    My Mom and I came here to recycle some cardboard. She has been coming here for years. They know her…read moreby name. This was my first time here. When I was looking for this place on Yelp, it didn't come up as Main Street Recycling Center. It came up as Main Street Fibers which I find odd because what does fibers have to do with recycling LOL. Anyway, this center is located on Main Street, hence, the biz name. There are two sides to it... one for cardboard and another for cans/plastic bottles... btw, they are on opposite sides of the street. There is street parking available. Upon arrival, I drove onto the scale to have the vehicle weighed. Soon after, the nice gentleman handed us a receipt with the # of lbs on it. Then I drove to the area where we drop off the cardboard. Just drive close enough to the big pile of cardboard and place your cardboard on the ground. They will take care of the rest. Afterwards, I drove back on the scale to have the vehicle weighed again and handed the receipt to the same nice gentleman so he can write the weight of vehicle without the cardboard. Lastly, I drove my Mom to the other side so she can get paid. As of 09/21/2024, it's currently $85 per ton of cardboard (2,000 lbs per ton). Price is subject to change. It was an interesting experience. I've been to one other cardboard recycling center. They operate about the same as this place except they do not give out the receipt with lbs written on it. All in all this is a good place to recycle your recyclables.
