This is a decent recycling facility and in a good area (shopping center parking lot). Little to no…read moresketchy people hanging around, which I found when I went to some recycling places in Oakland. Staff is approachable and the process is straightforward. You first sort your bottles and cans into the garbage cans provided. Then, a staff member weighs your items and pays you in cash. The garbage cans provided are kind of grungy, so I always wear gloves. It's worth it for me to drive from Oakland to Alameda to recycling my cans and bottles. It's a win-win situation! Your discarded cans and bottles get recycled for other purposes and you get a little cash for your efforts.

I recorded the interaction and filed a police report, because no customer should ever be spoken to like that. It's disturbing to be treated this way while just trying to recycle. The fact that the owners allow someone this hostile to represent their business says a lot about their standards.

For you first timers...make sure you separate your aluminum cans from your plastic bottles. Drive in stay in your car, and wait your turn. Then when it's your turn get out of your car and dump your items onto one of two conveyor belts. The attendant will watch the system weigh your recycled items and then give you a ticket. You will then take your ticket to the window where the clerk will print you a check . After I figured out the process, it was pretty easy and I found it to be convenient. I recommend this place for your recycling needs. Now if I could just find a recycle place that also does high volume shredding. All would be good.

This is how it worked for us: you drive up onto the scale, they weigh your vehicle and ask what you're recycling, you pay and go to the area of what you're recycling.

We've also purchased landscape rocks and for this you order the quantity you want at the main warehouse, they give you the receipt and then a worker puts the rock into your truck. Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy.

Howard was FANTASTIC to work with. Stop researching for others and just call him…read more When I called he we courteous, he used text messaging afterwards for efficiency and we he was beyond pleasant to work with. Howard actually has a degree in Sociology and if you have the chance to have a conversation with him you'll realize that he is truly an enlightened person. He's also like a real life HULK - without the anger. He's gigantic but clearly a gentle giant. He was on time for his appointment, hauled away 1500 lbs of old metal piping for free (I gave him a $20 tip just because I thought he was awesome and appreciated his service) and we had some great conversation. He was thoughtful and careful when removing the items, placing effort not to scratch my house. Having a random stranger come to your house for any reason is never the most comfortable of situations. I'd have Howard back any time. Get him while you can, I'm sure he won't be hauling things for ever.

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.
