    The tub full of the scrap wire and the worker pushing it up to the scales for me.

    This is by far the best recycling center. Today was my first time at this one and I will never go to another place. You pull up, they empty your recycles into bins FOR YOU and then take them to the scale. The process is quick and painless. Adam at the weigh station gets you in and out with an awesome attitude. The prices are pretty high too! I collected a cool $620 for some scrap wire today. Easiest $$$ I've ever made. Keep up the awesome work folks!

    Aaron Metals recycling center in Oakland has always been spacious, organized, & clean for its environment with a helpful & friendly staff! WHERE: Off 105th, btw San Leandro Blvd & Edes Ave; right next to some railroad tracks, but not the ones along BART. Not too hard miss, but you should browse your navigation instructions before you attempt to drive out. My sis tried to "wing it" on her 1st trip, but realized she had to have missed the turn somewhere...she figured it out tho ^_^ CENTER & SERVICE: Pull your vehicle inside & find parking on the left side closest to the booth. Grab your bag of cans, have your CA ID ready, bags get unloaded & weighed, give ur ID to staff employee at booth, get receipt, then walk over a few meters to office, next available window, turn your receipt in for cash, & you're done. Friendly staff from the moment you drive in to direct traffic, to the time you get your cash. Keep up the great work team! RECYCLING CANS: I've favored this place a loooong time to recycle cans & you should too!

    They don't take plastic bottles anymore. They only take cans. For the plastic go somewhere else.

    Ok! Monday it was!…read more Got here during their lunch. When they open, you just go inside, grab a cart with available bins & sort out your recycle. The bins are very dirty so I suggest using gloves & bringing hand sanitizer. Plastic bottles: They advice removing the caps from the bottles. You just take them off & keep them in the bin with the bottles. No biggie. Glass bottles: They don't usually accept them. Since it was my first time, I didn't know this. Instead they put glass in the bigger containers, raised & moved around forklifts. The workers are quite friendly & helpful. The man helped me & explained everything. You will need a valid ID in order to get a receipt. There is a little window labeled "CASHIER." When you get the receipt, the window is blocked off with blinds. Someone is behind but you never see their face. They pointed at the signature part of the receipt with a gloved finger. Moments later, they just hand you the money... and that's it! The homeless people are quite harmless. They didn't bother or harass me. So it's all right. I actually enjoyed my experience. :) Fair warning!!!! They are moving glass bottles with a forklift, lifting heavy bins full of glass bottles that shatter loudly! So bring earplugs at your discretion.

    This place has been super hard to contact. Since COVID I understand they have been closed but as…read morethings slowly re-open I can't seem to get a hold of anyone to see if they're accepting recycling from the public. I've tried to call and email from their website and have gotten no response from them. Prior to COVID this place was great. Friendly workers and easy to drop of recycling.
