My favorite recycling place in Fresno. Service is always good and they offer a random coupons for a few extra bucks on top of the normal rate, every month or so. Their aluminum machine makes it super easy to dump all your cans with minimal mess. Can dump directly from your trash bags or whatever yoy store them in without having to put them in the plastic trash cans like some of the other places. Says time and messiness. Presort your stuff beforehand and you will be in and out in 15 min max read more

I have been a customer of Fresno recycling for a very long time. The price may vary in cans, but courtesy has been a # 1. Good honest collectors. All I ask is get the price up, I have 7 TC's I need to recycle. 700pds. read more

I've been coming here for years and I've never been anywhere else to compare this place to but the staff here is very nice and helpful. They have painted labels on the building for each station for example the cans and plastics if it's busy you simply form a line. They weigh your recyclables and give you a ticket that you then take to the window to cash out. They have carts and huge containers on the side to help you load all your recyclables in so you don't have to carry it, downside the carts are really old and some are heavy and very difficult to push. I love the fact that here is a wash station next to the cashier window. read more

Very quick and courteous. It is a great value. They gave me a fantastic price for my aluminum cans.

Seem really fair how they weigh everything out! Other places barely let u see what they are doing.. and I was cheated at the old bulldog recycling center before. Some pay out less because they say they are helping you to sort but don't mention they pay out less for that. read more

They are speedy and super helpful here. This was our first time here and the attendants in the glass area really helped us out. Their procedures were pretty swift even though quite a few people kept pulling into the parking lot. The parking lot is small and so that is my only negative in an otherwise good service! read more

Yes, we drive all the way across town to go here. I feel the people are honest and friendly. Parking isn't so great but I feel like I get my monies with here. read more

the staff is friendly and helped me with mu concerns and i don't see anything wrong with this place at the moment. but i might try other recycling center and compare prices though. read more

Best recycling place in town! :) Good customer service and everyone is nice and helpful! Great prices!

I brought 4 bags of plastic bottles for recycling. Just pulled in and parked inside their lot. They have big signs telling you where to go, plastic or metal...The attendant tells you what to do (dump out the bottles as they get weighed). He prints a ticket, take it over to cashier and done! 4 Bags=almost $10! What more could you ask for in a recycling place? read more

Very easy & loooove it that they have it sections instead of 1 person doing it all. Appreciate their kindness when I didn't know something.

One of he better recycling place in town. Best price as well. Staffs are nice and friendly. Only downside is that there's a limit on how much you can recycle at one time read more

Most of my experiences here were actually pretty great...the employees that run the typical CRV machines are really professional, friendly and helpful... ...However, I'm really disappointed with my most recent visit. I brought in the typical CRV cans and plastic, but I also brought around 90 pounds of steel springs. Due to the place being extremely busy on a hot miserable day, I didn't catch the fact the employee listed the springs as iron. After doing some research I realized....after the fact...that I was shorted between $20 - $30. I don't recycle that often, but whether the employee intentionally mislabeled my tag to swindle me, or accidentally mislabeled my tag which would be equally disappointing, I will not be returning to recycle here and I've posted this to keep future patrons aware to make sure your being correctly paid. read more

The only improvement I feel could be done is if their prices were a little better. Yes, they do pay more for normal crv but as far as everything else, there's much room for improvement. Quite a few ppl say not to go there alone... unless you're a CHILD, there is no need for a chaperone. It's not a dark alley you're going down alone, it's a recycling place, plain & simple.. ‍‍ read more

The staff are ok, the way they process people is a little unorganized, and the lot is very small. But the worst part of bringing your recycling here is that you have to deal with all the people who just hang around the lot. There are so many weird people down there hoping to get money off you that you have to keep your head on a swivel. This place does have one of the best prices in town for crv cans but don't go alone. read more

The people working here are very nice and helpful. They came around to ask if any of the customers needed any help sorting their stuff. One gentle man also came around to kind tell us how to park our cars so I wouldn't get blocked later.They also work very efficiently cutting down the time that I have to stay there. The parking is a bit tight when it gets busy but I would recommend this place still read more

I really like this place for recycling. It seems to be well-run and the workers are polite and helpful. This is one of the few centers that accept the aluminum cat food cans and pay a decent price for them. Since that's the bulk of my recycling, I always go to Fresno Recycling even though other centers are closer to home. read more

Staff very helpful. But watch out for one of the cashiers. If you bring in a coupon for the higher price, she doesn't give the higher price. Why does she do that? So, if you use a coupon, check to make sure price per pound is correct. read more

I give this place 5 stars for two reasons, first being, they helped me through the entire process and I didn't have to lift a finger. Next they didn't make me feel weird by being clueless about which plastics and cans go where. They helped me resort my collection which was massive and got me in and out in a decent amount of time. I read previous reviews about watching your back, and homeless people stealing your stuff, etc. but that was not my experience, everyone there was helpful and nobody was out to steal my cans. Definitely would recommend. read more

Always best prices in town. But bums hang around a lot. But you know what it's a can place you can expect that at a lot of recycling centers. But it's nice to have someone else with you so you don't lose cans. But great place. Always fast and great prices! read more

Since a review was posted, telling the absolute truth to my experience, anyone associated with our house has been told they are not allowed at Fresno Recycle. We have been harassed by them and intimidated. We have had numerous flat tires all of a sudden. I miss Roger Fitzgerald, the best owner/operator of Fresno Recycling Center. He was 100% fair and honest. This company will not ever be as good as it was when he was there. I would love to see it close down rather than be run the way it is. We miss you Roger, get better and come back. read more
