I got a quoted price range on Yelp. and they paid what they said they would, and the price that was offered was quite good. This isn't my usual experience with other metal recyclers. Probably because business is so competitive and price of copper is down, I have experienced with others is they quote a high price, and then offer a much lower price in person. If you are selling metal, the process is to park your truck in the lot, remove any plastic bags or extraneous material, check with the weighing office to understand how to separate your goods, put the metal into a flat dolly or plastic bin, and bring it back to be weighed and payed. Good Work!

Also they weighed everything while I was busy filling out papers for first time customers , therefore I didn't notice that they did 3 separate weigh ins for 3 water heaters that I brought. One had a huge tare ,bringing down weight significantly, not sure what was it for. Then they labeled one as white goods, bringing down the rate . They bamboozled me and i made the mistake for trusting them and not reviewing receipt while still there . Regardless , they made me sign before even telling me the total amount that I was getting . Attaching photo of receipt .

Pricing and expectations were not made clear upfront, and as a first-time customer I felt pressured into paying for things I didn't fully understand until after the fact. Once I realized what I had been charged for, it felt excessive and misleading. I accept that I was new but that's exactly why transparency matters. A business should not rely on a customer's inexperience to upsell or obscure costs. I won't be returning, and I'd strongly recommend that first-timers ask for clear, written pricing before committing to anything.

The Staples (6th & Vermont) near my home said they charge $30 to reset computers to the factory setting for recycling purposes. I didn't want to pay to donate. I found Greenly on Google. The gentleman who picks up all the calls was extremely friendly and helpful. And, the employee (Fernando), who was at the site was also very nice and helpful. Fernando took out the hard drive from my computer and destroyed it using a hard drive crusher right in front of my eyes. If you want to donate your computer, keyboard, mouse, cable, basically anything related to computers...this is the place that you should reach out to. The business is located on the second floor of an unassuming building, which is also occupied by Alpan Orthodontics. I had to drive around the block twice to find it. If you're going east on 3rd St. make sure to take that turn on Carondelet. Immediately to your left there will be the parking lot.

My friend and I got about half of what we usually do at another center. It's also a bit more dirty than my usual spot which my friend didn't love. But~ it's a recycling center...these places are innately grimey lol. However, it's hard to find reliably open and convenient recycling centers in DTLA and this seems to be one. Another big plus, they have a few parking spots. It does seem to get busy at peak times though. My friend and I went during a weekday lunch hour and it was packkeeeed! We had to spend the whole hour there because the line was so long. So try to avoid lunch hour if you can to save yourself the headache.
