0 stars. Tri-Ced failed to pick up my recycling, claiming it was inaccessible because a car was…read moreparked in front of the bin. This claim is completely unacceptable. The recycling bin was touching the street and placed directly next to two other cans that were serviced without issue by Waste Management. The driver got off the truck and serviced my address, proving accessibility was not the problem. I am located on a busy street and have no control over who parks or where people park. Expecting residents to manage street parking to accommodate Tri-Ced's convenience is unreasonable. When I called to resolve this, I was met with dismissive and poor customer service and was again told the bins were "inaccessible," despite clear evidence to the contrary. This is a failure in service, accountability, and customer support. Tri-Ced needs to own this mistake and correct it, not deflect responsibility with excuses.

Very fast and easy! You bring your items and sort them into bins, and then a worker will weigh and…read morepay you cash on the spot. They do it quick so I'm not sure if you are truly getting the full amount, but it's better than nothing and feels nice to recycle when you gather a lot. Workers were friendly as well.

This last…read morevisit was super quick and efficient, which the workers there are good at what they do, so it was no surprise. They're fairly organized in the chaos of all their customers and somehow know how to keep everyone's stuff separated... I would not be able to keep track @_@ There is a line system for cars which they will have cars line up along the street and flag them in when there's space in their lot. This last trip probably took only 10 minutes to get out. Super grateful for recycling businesses like these. They've also changed their strictness of separating the glass and plastics by color - doesn't seem like you need to do that anymore, so separating by material is good enough fortunately. They also take wine bottles again, so that's great!

This is where I come to recycle my water bottles every few weeks!!…read more Saturdays can sometimes get kind of crowded, so I usually go on a Friday. They are pretty organized and quick here!! You pour your bottles into a garbage can with a label, and they weigh it. Also, make sure to bring your Identification with you, they check it, you sign the clipboard, then they cash you out!! Conveniently located right next to the 580 on ramp off of Fairmount in San Leandro!!!

They are quite cheap with their prices per pound but in my opinion, it kind of makes up for the lack and utter disrespectful service from Sal at CalWest.
