Drove out of my way to get here before closing. Turns out it is now SOS RECYCLE CENTER, and of…read morecourse with totally different hours than what's listed for C&J Recycling. It's still right behind Del Taco in the parking lot though as someone previously mentioned. I'm posting pictures so people know and can find this yelp review to avoid wasting time and gas. I'm sure they are great people, but have no notice of this. They need to update all this online and hopefully this gives them their own "SOS" message to get to it!! Quite literally.

This place was terrible. The scale readouts were located where you couldn't read them. The amount…read moreI received was far lower than any other recycling place I have been to in Bakersfield.

Recycling and scrap metal is a dirty job, all walks of life come in looking haggard and unkempt, dirt from head to toe and every employee from scale to the yard to cashier treat all with the same smile and stellar customer service. I have used other smaller recycling businesses and have been made to feel uncomfortable and burdensome at times, but not at Unlimited. I have watched the homeless, the scrap business man, and the family man trying to make ends meet be invited to sit down and enjoy tacos as they celebrate a staff birthday. If you have not paid a visit to Unlimited Recycling you should. You will notice the difference and be pleasantly surprised.

Awesome service. They came to the car and even took things out of the trunk for me. They recycle…read morejust about anything, except for the alkaline batteries I had, which I took to the Kern Bulk Waste office. It was free for the items I dropped off. I highly recommend them.

We brought a whole box (x-large Costco box) of crushed aluminum cans (all compressed) and we got…read morepaid $20. The workers do not show you the weight, throw the aluminum cans immediately into a larger batch (not mine) after weighing it (thus I'm not able to verify the weight), and then speak among themselves. They do it all behind an orange line (no reason at all). Would NOT recommend. I'll be filing a complaint and see what results and then possibly suspend their license.

Sorting is self service, so it's a good idea to separate your cans from your bottles ahead of time for a quicker visit. The weigh in process is very quick and easy. You can also be assured that they have their Weighmaster Certificate for accurate measurements.

She came out and checked my load and directed me to the area where I needed to deposit all this valuable stuff. There was a designated area for everything I had from appliances, wood, household, trash, metal, and Green waste. It probably took me 20 minutes to dispose in the right areas there were other workers out there that also directed me which was a big help.The Shafter is massive and well organized and staffed by friendly helpful employees. I'll be back out here in another month. I still have another load at home. If you come here don't forget to cover your load.

I was impressed with how organized this place is…read more First you drive up to the window and a really nice gal attending it surveyed what we were tossing and our main reason for the trip was because the Goodwill doesn't take older TV's only flat screens and we had a HD 36" that wasn't flat screen but was a great TV just was a boat anchor. Then everything on the right side is basically recycling. So we drove right up to the spot that said TV and electronics. Easy and organized also it was right next to were we had to drop the old highchair from the baby days of grandkids. Impressive that they are so organized since my last experience of a landfill. But it was smelly so no 5* here. But it was free!
