Came in on a Saturday late morning. It was my first time recycling a LOT of stuff (maybe a few…read moremonths' worth). I already pre-sorted the basics, but wasn't aware of some of the other stuff that needed to be taken out. Luckily, the 2 guys there were SUPER patient in explaining to me the differences of materials, how we're sorting it, and what they offer for each. My only gripe is that if you have a large haul and need to park near the sorting area, good luck. The entrance sort of shares the same one with the next door gas station, so it can get clogged if a person is parked. Otherwise, if no one's around, you're good. There is parking in the back if needed

We've only brought in our plastic, but it's been quick and easy and cash paid immediately. Decent payout too. Make sure you park in a real spot, don't be that guy who parks where it says "no parking". Open weekends, rarely super crowded too. Great job!

I used to go to another recycling center, but during my last few visits the staff seemed…read moreinattentive and even a bit rude. So I decided to try somewhere new and found Sanchez Recycling. From the moment I drove in, the experience was completely different. I was greeted right away and asked how they could help. I told them I had cans, and the employee directed me where to go, brought me a large basket, and let me know someone would assist me. Another staff member quickly helped, weighed my cans, gave me a receipt, and thanked me for coming. The woman in the payment area was also friendly and efficient. Overall, the whole process was smooth and pleasant. The facility is clean, the staff is helpful, and everything was easy to deal with. I'll definitely be coming here from now on!

We drive there, he stops the car, takes out our bag of recyclables and we get the cash on the spot. They give you a receipt too. We only ever recycle bags of drinks cans and bottles here so I can't comment too much about recycling other goods but if we were going to give it to someone else or just toss it out, the tens of dollars we do get after months of collecting is worth it for the convenience of it all. So in my opinion, pretty worth it for the amount of goods recycled and little effort needed.

All you need is your ID to show proof of residency. I recently went through our old shed, which hasn't been cleaned in a few years. I managed to get rid of a few paint canisters, paint buckets, cleaning chemicals & more. I had about 2 medium sized boxes worth of items.
