Can-Do Spirit A…read morelocal chain of five recycling centers located throughout the Bay Area, with this one being in SJ's Cambrian neighborhood. Normally, I couldn't care less about saving cans to turn in, but about six months ago I got tired of the old lady who takes the cans from our bin every week, and I decided, "Why don't we start saving them instead of giving away money?" Let's see how that idea turned out: The Good: * Convenient location at the Lunardi's shopping center on Branham & Meridian. * Lots of free parking. * They pay you cash on the barrel-head. No checks, no electronic payments. Just cold hard cash. * Open seven days a week. * Employees were affable enough, even though they seldom look at you, let alone say anything to you. But, I will say, I don't mind dispensing with pleasantries on occasion. The Meh: * Arrived shortly after opening and we still had to wait over an hour to finally turn our cans in. This place is always busy. * Closed between 1 - 1:30 for lunch. The Ugly: * One of the bad things with collecting cans is you have to store them someplace in the meantime, and my garage is only so big and it gets to be a real PiTa after a while. * Now, I'm not saying that they're scamming you, but their method for tracking the weight of all your stuff is very, very suspicious. They just weigh it, but I don't see them log the numbers down on anything. So how they come up with the final weight and dollar amount is a mystery to me, unless the dude handling the scale has a photographic memory. Which is possible. Unlikely, but possible. Conclusion: Well, I've had some pretty hare-brained schemes in the past, but this might be up there. Six months' worth of cans (2 1/2 of their bins full) and we got a measly $20! Hell, it wasn't even $20--$19.85, to be exact. The moral of the story is, if your time is worth more than $20/hr then just leave the can turning in to the old lady.

We've been going to Jado for a while. It's more convenient that other places, plus it's close to…read morehome. Similar to other locations, the aluminum cans are $1.65/lb. On this particular day, on a Monday afternoon, it was quite busy. It is generally in and out and quick. All the times we've been here, we haven't received bad service. They're just doing their job and they do work hard, Be sure to put a tip in their can to show your appreciation. We always do.

He grabbed a couple of bins over to my trunk and told me to unload. A few seconds later, another car drove in and the same worker immediately walked over to help him unload his cans instead. Maybe the guy was a frequent customer but damn, the differential treatment was hella obvious. The worker helped him unload everything and helped him carry everything to the weighing station. It all happened so quick that he even skipped me in line. When I was done unloading, I asked for some help carrying the bins over to the weighing stations (as I saw workers help other people), but I was just told to carry the glass bottle bins myself. Umm sure that would make sense if the other customers small in stature like me too but they were literally men who seemed big enough to not need the help. Regardless, they're nicer if you know Spanish. They're friendlier if you've buddied up with them before. Ironically the workers make it seem like some boy's club catering to their own yet their bosses are Asian. It's too much of a hassle dealing with their behavior that I'd much rather recycle elsewhere next time.

And after all the bins we filled we only received a little money back due to not clearly communicating with us the separation process. We turned in to this place, there is plenty of parking which is a huge plus compared to the other place. It wasn't clear where to get the large bins to place the recycling items, but a super sweet lady saw I was a bit lost so she told me the bins are in the back. We walked back there, grabbed a few bins back to the car and separated out each type of recyclable. Plastics in one, aluminum cans in another, and glass in another. Then we brought the bins to the employee to weigh the bins. The one working today is super friendly. He put each bin on a different scale. Then indicated to the lady at the stand it was ready for her to take the weight from each bin. She asked for a drivers license and then proceeded to give me a receipt. She was super sweet as well. After we grabbed our receipt, we walked to the ATM area and scanned the bar code on the receipt. The ATM took a little time to process, but soon it popped out the cash and then on top the change. As we were leaving the exit, it was a bit hard to see the cars and many were driving pretty quick so it's harder to leave. Overall, It was a super easy process. We will definitely be back.

Today, March 11, 2026, was my fourth visit, and I usually come here because it's the closest recycling center to my place. Every time I've come, the experience has been smooth and hassle-free. The staff are friendly, helpful, and work efficiently to keep the line moving. The man who helped me today was especially professional. He came over, helped sort through my bags, and carefully checked for unacceptable items more than once. I actually appreciated that attention to detail because it showed he was doing his job properly. A few of my plastic bottles were returned, but that was perfectly fair since they weren't CA CRV eligible. I still walked away with $17.75, so no complaints from me. One thing I'd recommend is sorting your recycling before you arrive. It saves both your time and the staff's time, and it makes the whole process a lot smoother. Parking is a little limited, but that's really my only minor complaint. Other than that, I've had nothing but positive experiences here, and I'd definitely return. I came right around closing time, so there was plenty of parking and no waiting line.
