It's a recycling center so it's what you expect-lines, there are bins if you have lots of cans and…read morebottles to weigh in. I typically only have one or two bags as I don't like to have a hunger stock pile at my house. You can also recycle your metal/appliances there as well. Across the street you can drop off your cardboard to be recycled as well. It's better to get a few bucks back for your cans and bottles instead of putting it in the trash.

I been coming to Recycle It since I could not find a place that can redeem plastic bottles and…read morecans. I was told by businesses in Pleasant Hill and Martinez that Recycle It would be faster service compare to going to Concord Recycling Center. When I come to this location I already got my plastic bottles and cans separated which impresses the people that work there. I am in and out within five minutes. I am aware of plastic bottles and cans to be separated which I have seen other people still separating theirs which they take longer to do. A good business for a place to get money for your plastics and cans.

Very straight forward, just put your cans and bottles in the bins and then they will weight them…read more Somebody will give you a piece of paper with the weight, which you will turn in at a small window and they will pay you for whatever your recylables weigh.

No way was I going to Concord Recycling Center (lines are very long). I was surprise I remember Sun's Recycling in Port Chicago (I didn't know this was still Concord) A family own business. I was very impress on the guy unloading my eight big trash bags of plastic bottles into one huge net bag. Very impressive on the guy hauling my plastic bottles. I manage to come to Sun' Recycling Center at a perfect time while there was no people. I manage to come and get out of there fast! Only suggestion is if you happen to have a U-Haul with a bunch of cans and bottles this wouldn't be a good idea to bring your redeem here (you might tick off others who want to redeem their cans and bottles).

Called in for a price on clean copper and once I arrived to location they said owner wasn't there…read moreand they gave me a different price per lb on the copper. Man said he was going based off what was in the computer. After seeing the price difference I wanted to separate the copper to make a couple extra dollars since I had it mixed. I asked the man handling the transactions that told me a different price on the copper if he can lend me some clippers and he said he cant let me borrow them yet he had my ID and I was going to do it right in front of him. Words cant explain how frustrated I was. I ended up taking a loss at the end of the day and affected me mentally due to financial struggles.

Well, that seemed to work, as I finally got service and a call from Republic Services to follow up. So I changed my review from 1 to 3. I'm happy they finally responded, but it should not have taken 3 days, nor the situation I posted on below. Republic Services did not pick up my black landfill barrel on Tuesday. I called Tuesday afternoon and they said it would be picked up by 6pm. It was not. I called Wednesday, and they said it was on schedule to be picked up Wednesday by 6pm. It was not picked up. I called on Thursday and they said it was on schedule to be picked up by 6pm on Thursday. It was not picked up. I don't know if they just blow off their customers with repeated lies, or they simply have no idea of what's going on in their service area. I don't know if there is any other service we are able to use, as it seems they have a monopoly, and I'm not sure complaints really help any considering the very low reviews this company has for their lack of service.

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.

They quoted me: $40 for curbside pick-up or $65 to come up one-flight of stairs and remove it from my apartment. 2 guys showed up on time and the price I signed for was the price I was quoted. Plus, they recycle as much of the mattress as they can whereas the other companies just take it to the Dump.
