Fast and friendly service. Drove in and got greeted and started on the replying. Staff were helpful and fast. I was in and out within 10/15 minutes. read more

Easy in and out. Never had any problems. Plenty of garbage cans for separating. My go to recycling station.

They move fast and make it easy to have containers available to sort your cans and bottles. I always bring a half full bottle of water to wash my hands off afterwards, things get pretty sticky if you're not the type to rinse your cans and bottles out first. I guess their prices are fair. read more

I love that I never have to wait too long! They are efficient, quick and helpful. Gets the job done!

Pretty quick. If you don't know what ur doing.. you won't find much help here. Better to look around and grab bins and start unloading. Don't stand too close when they seperate glass.. glass was braking and pieces flew all over the place into my face and hair.. as well as the gentlemen next to us. They also shouldn't assume that people of other ethnic backgrounds don't understand Spanish.. He said I was crazy for standing so close. I'm assuming bc of the glass situation. How about before you start throwing glass you warn someone. It shouldn't fly over 2 feet in all directions... read more

went in with with 3 cans of plastic 1 can of aluminum and 1 can glass coke bottles 14 Dollars i said that has to be wrong he said no i think i was ripped off wow needed that money for gas read more

Man I wish I knew about this place two years ago. They move fast! Highly recommend Plenty of cans for each individual to fill. You won't spend a whole day waiting. I went at a busy time and it took just shy of 20mins read more

Fast and well supplied with the barrels to load. What more do you need? Coming back for sure!

Parking is limited in the lot but there is plenty of street parking. After getting in their lot, it is self serve. You get large trash bins and a cart then separate your recycle. Once it is your turn, they weigh your recycle by type...then...you get paid. Quick and easy. I'll be back here again. read more

They are great and helpful and one guy helped some of the people who came over especially the older ladies.

THEY CLOSE AT 4:30 NOT 5!! I got there exactly at 4:30 and the nice gentleman named "JB" was kinda enough to help me after closing hours. It was quick and they were super friendly! I will be coming back again! read more

Valdez Recycling - most recycling places in our area have closed recently so after going to two places that are no longer in business we ended up here. Drove right up, gentlemen helped us, he was friendly, gave us the $ and we were on our merry way. Yes, they speak Spanish but, they also speak English. What's the problem? It's not a debate meet, it's just recycling. read more

Great place to go turn in plastic they are quick and helpful they will help you to unload and separate your recycle items try them out ....... read more

J A Recycling - Recycling Center Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I went today skeptical after reading reviews. The place was not J A Recycling, but Valdez Recycling. To start, it was SUPER clean. The ladies working were very nice and patient with me and my questions because the last place I went did not give what I felt I deserved. This time I counted out my bottles, cans, and plastic ahead of time knowing I should get $17.95 I walked out of there with $20.02! Score I will be coming back! read more

J A Recycling - Prices on 9/21/2013 - Recycling Center Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Its almost to the point where you don't want to hassle and just stick your recycling in your county waste bin - but you are throwing away money when you do so. Most of the local recycling places in the Elk Grove area have closed or have slow service, so after reading the reviews here, thought I would give this place a try. Quick service, fair prices, friendly staff. I believe they are open every day except Sunday so you can't go wrong. read more

Well I used to come here as a kid so I figured I would write a review. They are relatively close to my house and they are actually pretty nice. They sometimes help you unload your cans and bottles when they are free. Also they do not mind if your glass bottles are mixed up(places I would go to told me to separate the dark glass from the light glass). This place is nice but I wish they did not have gravel and dirty because it is somewhat hard to drag the bins around. Also you must prepare to get dirt on your shoes and clothes once coming here. They do get pretty busy so I would advise people to go early. Overall, this place is cool before they are extremely chill and they give a lot more money$$$ than the rest of the recycling places. read more

i went to this place today at 9 am only 1 other person there, it was quick and easy . the actual place isn't on Kent road its on Dino Street i did drive around looking for it for a while so when on Kent road just make a right on Dino Street and it s the second building on the left you will see the sign .they paid in cash and it was weighed perfectly i was there less than one minute .for 4 bags of plastic and 1.2 bag of cans got 19.15 good for me read more

Quick and easy! These guys are efficient and quickly get you weighed up, paid and on your way. Hard working and worthy of a tip for what they do! A bit tricky to find, so don't give up, its worth driving here vs those places with the long lines of people waiting! read more

Always helpful here. Brought in quite a bit of mixed recycling. Explained how to separate it all. Very helpful and quick and pay out in cash on the spot! read more

I've taken my cans and bottles to there for 2 yrs now and seems like they've been cheating me. The tare they calculate after they weighed everything, which accounts for the bins used to hold my cans, whatever water was in the cans, was about half of the initial weight. Didn't bother asking much because they spoke spanish mainly and probably didn't understand when I asked basic questions. I just took it like a loser they thought I was. It's $2 a pound, but I feel I could've got a higher amount at $1.70 other places charge. read more

This is by far the best recycling center in all of Elk Grove! They have these huge white bags that hold A TON of bottles! And there are plenty of containers available for cans. Employees are very helpful! The quickest turn around time! I'm always in and out in 20 minutes! read more

Much faster and friendlier than the other recycling center in Elk Grove. I will definitely come back again. It's a litter farther for me, but worth the drive. read more

My favorite place to recycle. Plenty of parking. They have garbages for your boxes/bags. Process you quickly.

normally i go to nexcycle on bond and elk grove florin rd but they were closed today, "Thursday" i have brought them 8 full bags in the past and walked away with $68 to day i went to these grimy lying cheaters J A recycling with 13 full bags and they gave me a measly $46, they speak mostly Spanish but i understood everything they said, one guy told the other to lie to me and give me less money and worse prices on everything i brought there. they were both unaware i knew Spanish also, they purposefully cheated me and i knew they were doing it. i should have left with at least $80, DO NOT GO HERE, THEY WILL DELIBERATELY CHEAT YOU AND POCKET THE MONEY THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED. the guy went in back and got some money he put what looked like around $25 in his pocket "there were some ones too" and then gave me what was left, the $46, he wore dark shades because i know a coward like this cant look a person in the eye while they cheat them, he was hiding of course behind them. next time i will wait for nexcycle to open they are the only fair and honest place i have been for recycling. J A recycling claims they pay you $2lb for cans but in reality they paid me 00.97lb and i would have received the honest $1.87 from next cycle. but if you are looking to be cheated and ripped of J A is the place to go read more
