Easy in and out and the amount of things you can drop off here is awesome. Paints, electronics, batteries, weed killers, fluorescent lights, motor oil, food scraps, regular recycling including scrap metal. Check out the website for more details as it is quite extensive and I have not listed everything. But you know what gives it that 5th star or maybe even deem it worthy of 6 stars? They have a reuse room and offer fixit clinics!!! I've got this 2nd vacuum that the locking piece no longer works. I'm gonna bring it up there to have someone help me fiddle with it. Plus, this new location is closer than the old location. I like it!

Absolutely incredible. I love the new center. Thank you so much for your care for our environment…read more.

So, we had to find another spot to take some furniture that was damaged in a water leak. Twin City Refuse is the perfect spot for that: they answered all our questions ahead of time over the phone, made the process of dumping our stuff super easy, and charged us a very fair price. All in all, I was super impressed, and we saved a TON of money over hiring a junk hauling service. Definitely recommend it!

I called twice a day every day and was told by Saint Paul waste management that it would be returned that day... and each day they blamed it on "operations" aka advanced disposal not communicating, but it wasn't until I reached out to the city garbage council that the city intervened and helped us. Who knows how long we would have gone without them stepping in?! 8 units with humans and cats and dogs going without trash service for a week, especially in an old historic building at risk for pest-- beyond yikes. And to have customer service lying to me twice a day? It's so shockingly bad. To top it all off, they replaced our simple dumpster with 4 carts. What a joke!

I was a K&K customer long before they were K&K.. back when they were Kirschbaum & Krupp when my…read moregrandfather would bring me as a young kid to turn in our aluminum cans and other scrap metal. Which is why I as growing up and becoming an adult TRUSTED and felt RESPECTED as the employees working the yard and the girls in the office made it a pleasant experience. However after going there today I definitely have a changed opinion as I made it to the scale and was handed a business card that stated ONLY MOTOTRIZED VECHILES BEYOND THIS POINT NO WALK-IN OR BICYCLE SCRAP DELIVERY. Personally this is awful as I spoke with a Manager in charge around 3:13 PM and the best he could explain was that they made that rule in effect around a week to a week and half ago. Also like to add that when I asked why they changed that the reason he gave was he was not sure why it just was changed. I could understand if it was because of the current road construction that has taken place since I believe spring of this year, but saying you are not sure does not sound good as a MANAGER of K&K Metal Recycling. As I know for a fact alot of the business they happen to receive are from people who use bikes or happen to not have access to a vechile and are preferred walk-in scrap recyclers. This will not deter me to recycling scrap metal just sucks that a company turned this into a policy and are losing business this way. I hope that in the future that RULE disappears but I know quite a bit of people whom are friends and family whom will not be returning to K&K Metal Recycling. very unfortunate to have this policy on-going. Also the police squad that is posted in the parking lot to suppposedly stop any walk-in/bicycle scrap delivery should pay more attention to stopping said people instead of focused on their phones. At least if I made it to the scale I should have been taken care of one last time, not just told to wait for a manager whom saw me and turned away and seeemed to avoid contact with the person whom walked-in to turn their scrap metal in for recycling. I guess the other scrap metal recycling businesses in the area will get more business as K&K seems to let down a huge community of bicycle/walk-in scrap delivery. sad day for sure to speak
