He makes small talk and is always polite. People complaining about them not assisting in sorting, must not understand how recycling places work. You are supposed to sort your own recycling before you get there. Also, if you want to get paid for each individual item, find somewhere with the machines that you can insert them one by one, otherwise, they weigh them and you get paid by the weight and not what you paid. Not sure where these unrealistic expectations of a recycling facility come from.

I've gone to them three times in a row and each time there are two women there that pick on my…read moresister in law. My mother-in-law (who limps) and my sister-in-law (who is 12) goes with her to help her out and this last time really upset my mother in law. She had told me that one of the ladies was refusing to give her a basket to help my mother in law. They weren't letting my sister in law grab a basket for my mother in law and they didn't know why. Then they began to give them problems about them not being able to understand and respond in Spanish. Then second day the same lady was on cashier and pointed to my mother in law and said she didn't want her there. Neither my mother in law and my sister-in-law believed they had absolutely no reason to be treated like that when they hadn't done anything.

It was... weird. I went yesterday with some aluminum to recycle, because a friend had been a…read morecostumer a long time ago and spoke highly of them. I brought some scrap aluminum peices not realizing they only accept crv cans. My issue was not with this, but with the "service". A blonde man came out and said can I help you and I told him yes they were recommended so I brought aluminum left over from a project. He seemed short with me, We only accept aluminum cans for crv! No worries! I was just surprised because he was interrupting me and acting agitated. I told him thanks, and went to my brother behind me so we could regroup and go somewhere else. He came back out a minute later and asked us to pull through to leave. I was like, huh ? There was zero anyone there. We couldn't have been much in the way, lol. But I immediately go to my car to leave, while mentioning i was a little disappointed that he was so terse and unhospitable, esp. After the place bring so highly recommended. He then throws his hands up and says What do you want me to do !? WE ONLY TAKE CANS! I was kinda surprised but he def dident seem to realize he wasent exactly exuding professionalism or hospitality, lol. He dident "get" it... yes your not making an immediate sale, but now your first impression has guaranteed that at least for me, you will NEVER get a second chance to make a sale. The place look charming, but I won't be back. It's a shame but for such a young person (late 20's?) He sure did seem to have a hair up his crawl !

Happy Earth Day, 2026!…read more Did you know that humans produce over 460 million metric tons of plastic every year? After learning this, the first thought that came to my mind was 'This is a huge number! How much actually is this?' Consider this: This is more weight than the weight of the Eiffel Tower (Paris), Golden Gate Bridge (San Francisco), Brooklyn Bridge (New York), Empire State Building (New York), Statue of Liberty (New York), Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italy), Great Pyramid of Giza (Egypt), Burj Khalifa (Dubai), Space Needle (Seattle), Tokyo Skytree (Japan), The Pentagon (Virginia), and the Great Wall of China, ALL COMBINED, TIMES SEVEN! That's A LOT of plastic! Worse yet, we produce this amount of plastic EVERY year, and studies predict that it takes approximately 450 years for a plastic bottle to decompose in a landfill. That means that the plastic bottle that you throw in the trash will still be there for approximately 18 generations of your descendants after you. If you don't recycle, you are literally trashing our planet for your own offspring! And, Earth is the only planet that we know of that is capable of supporting life. OK, I'll get off my soapbox now. Aside from trying to be a good citizen of planet Earth, I also recycle because I could always use some extra cash. I can usually pocket around $20 for every visit I make here, which really helps because I am certainly not a rich man. This particular location is a great option for recycling, here at "Benites Recycling," located just behind Bob's Market (Lancaster, California). I've been to this location several times. The money you receive by recycling here is similar to what you will receive at other nearby recycling centers. There are three things I like about this location in particular, as follows: (1) they typically do not require you to show your I.D. like they do at some other locations; (2) they use lightweight recycling bins, so they can quickly obtain an accurate weight of your recycling without having to tare the weight of the bins; and (3) the wait here is usually minimal because there are usually less people here than at some of the other recycling centers I have gone to. Although I believe the folks here are honest, the only thing I don't like about this location is how the actual recycling weight is difficult for the customer to see unless the customer walks around the scale and stands next to the employee reading the weight. Aside from this one drawback, I do like coming here for the reasons mentioned above. I'll definitely return to this location in the future. If you don't recycle here, please recycle somewhere.
