So we have been going here for can/bottle recycling, but I've been collecting a crud ton of metal,…read morecar parts, house parts etc.etc. Alum/Steel/CastIron etc. I drove down today with a couple of car heads and a ton of take off suspension parts and misc electrical motors, AC comp/alternator etc. They were helpful, explained that if I give them clean alum it's more than double the price, but leaving the bushings in the alum a-arms etc reduces the value.. I can't say they pay top dollar, nor can I say they are low on the scale, it's not my gig "recycling metal", but getting paid for it, vs tossing it out, seems like a win win. Great folks, totally will help you out, explain the nuances etc.etc.

This is by far one of the best places I've been to for recycles. They have great customer services. Once you pull up, a worker will bring bins to your car to fill with recyclables. They even help bring the bins to the line after you're done filling the bins. Then when you're up, they quickly do the weigh in. It was quick and easy. Even cashing in the office was fast. The woman was nice and professional. Cash out is much better than other places. With the best service for recyclables, it's no brainer if I'll return.

I tend to just bring garbage bags of cans over and as I'm pouring one bag into the garbage cans they use for weighing, I often get helped with getting the other bags poured in. While some folks drive their vehicles down the lane to get to where the weighing occurs, I park in the front area for ease of getting my car in and out. Then just carry my bags over. Getting cash back for the cans is great. Way better than the lazy route of throwing into recycling during weekly trash pickup.

After losing faith in Craig's List over the years, I had no idea what to do with my appliances and furnishings. I also wanted my items to "give back" to humanity. So, I called Bay Area Recycle. They were extremely helpful, informative and professional. They were unable to take my furnishings, but they referred me to someone who could help (Salvation Army and Bay Area Crisis Nursery). They WERE able to take my refrigerator for $35 cash, in a timely manner-- 2 days later! They removed the appliance from the storage unit, so I did not have to do any heavy lifting. Overall, an excellent experience. Why only 4 stars, and not 5? Well, they only accepted cash; and they only take electronics and appliances. However, I want to reiterate-- these folks are wonderful! I would use them again.

Plus, they recycle as much of the mattress as they can whereas the other companies just take it to the Dump.
