This is the best place to recycle everything! Staff are helpful and friendly. I like going here. Highly recommend.

On 22 Aug 26 I went to "Quality Recycling" which, much to my surprise, which was quite busy; that is, there was a line of cars waiting to drop off recycle material. The saving grace was "Ashley" an employee. Ashley stepped in and immediately directed traffic and operations so that what started out as a quagmire turned out to be a relatively smooth running operation... Kudos to Ashley! read more

The only good thing about this place is the location, it's close to home. Unfortunately, they don't give you nearly the value you should get for your recyclables.. Wouldn't recommend unless convenience is your top priority. Pretty busy on the weekends, Spaces are limited. read more

Quality has been providing services to Vista customers for years and have been polite, efficient, and helpful for unloading recycling items from your car, weighing them, and paying you to complete the process. Easy to pull into the lot, unload your items, and leave thru the exit areas. I highly recommend them. C Profitt read more

A consistently revisit this business because they are always helpful and they are very fast. Easy to get to. Easy to find. In a large parking area too! read more

Quality Recycling - Clean and organized! - Recycling Center Near Me - Vista, California

This recycle center is much better and faster than my old one. No question ask I segregate my recycle stuffs, put it in the bin, and then get paid thats it. read more

Pretty dumpy looking area :) the payment for recycling is pretty low here however the convenience of the bins and space to park is good. Some time they don't accept wine bottle or anything that is glass that doesn't say deposit on it, even though the point is to recycle any glass... read more

Very easy to get your recycling out of your house and money into your pocket! Everyone there was super friendly and helpful.

Always a little busy, but the staff always moves quick and helps if they see you need something. read more

Quality Recycling - One of the places where they weigh your recycling. Cash out at the hut. - Recycling Center Near Me - Vista, California

love this place.. always friendly and helpful. quick service. love getting the $2 bills.

The staff is always very nice and helpful. Their recycling credit is comparable to other recycling places.

It was my first time there, and I recall, pulling up to this location with a line out the gate, however, don't be fooled because it goes by super fast. There is an employee that guides you into a parking spot as soon as someone else is leaving. They have bins for glass and bins for cans or plastic all ready lined up. There were so many employees walking around and making sure that the process goes by faster and being a first-timer was intimidating. However, the employee that helped me was really nice and basically did everything for me. He led me towards the counter. They calculated it and paid me. This process all happened under 10 minutes. As soon as I left, another car took my spot. Their prices are listed clearly on a sign and I believe the cans are worth more than glass bottles, but I have not tried plastic bottles. read more

Very friendly atmosphere with a positive vibe. Easy in and out, fair prices. Not much else to report, but I need 85 characters to post this review. Stay safe, be kind, take care. read more

Great place to recycle your metals and electronics. I'm so glad there's a place left kind of in the area I can take my stuff to help the Earth. read more

Great service. Friendly helpful people will continue to use they paid top dollar thanks to you and the crew

Always helpful and they measure as it matters to them. I would go there as I always do.

Easy in and out! I've been going here for years for our bottles and soda cans. Simple to-do for beginners... just take these steps: Pull in and grab a couple netted carts. Empty your bottles and cans in separate carts. Be SURE you've removed the caps from your plastic bottles, but keep them in with the bottles themselves. Roll carts to the guys in between the two windows. When they pull them, go to the window. They hand you cash and a receipt to sign... and you're done. Easy cheesy. :-) read more

Super quick service, they took care of us really well. The value for our recycling was great. Friendly staff read more

It's convenient to Highway 78 and the people there are friendly and helpful. The other customers are also very nice and have helped me move my bins forward to the weighing station. A new innovation yesterday was a staff member pointing to the best open parking space. Also it's kind of fun getting $2.00 bills sometimes. read more

Good operation and crew. I wish they took light bulbs, batteries, electronics also. Convenient and enough parking.

Convenient, efficient, and personable staff. The process was nigh effortless past transferring the recyclables to their containers. After transferring my recyclables to the staff, it was less than 90 seconds before I was on my way home. read more

It's a dirty game, but someone's got to play it. Bring your scraps, cans, bottles, etc and they will find a way to use it. You will always find it's a bit of a losing game. Hours of collecting trash cans and trash cans full of bottles and tins and then you throw them in their containers and you get pennies. It may not seem worth it, but it kinda is. It's for sure better than not recycling at all. I know most cities have trash and other city pick ups, but this is for the person who goes out of their way. Living with a hoarder we found the need to recycle about a truck bed full of flattened boxes, so we brought them here and wandered around for a bit only to realize it's in the back for cardboard. I'd been here before for cans, but never thought to pay attention to the other things. Since everything is by weight you drive around back, avoiding the fork lifts and tractors. They see you and will avoid you too. Cardboard directions: Drive thru the weigh station, unload, re-weigh and then get your ticket for payment up front. There are no instructions or directions or assistance really. You kind of have to know to know or just stand back and watch because even the people recycling aren't the kind to use Yelp or be helpful. The staff can be hit or miss, but i do love how they'll pay you with $2 bills, which we all know isn't currency, but good luck charms. read more

This place pays poor and the guy just laughed it off. Grab my receipt before I could sign it. Payed rubbish. Workers are also rude. I never leave reviews but damn read more

I just need a place to dump my carload of boxes (some broken down and flattened, some not). I called these guys up and they said to just drive on in. They had two large dumpsters labeled "Cardboard". I emptied my car. Didn't even have to talk with anyone. In and out, easy peasy. read more

My local place closed last year (good riddance!) and so I've been making a trek to Vista to bring my CRV materials to Quality. What a difference! I used to have to try to schedule for some random "off" time (like 9:42 Tuesday morning) to have a chance to get in and out of there in less than 3 hours of waiting in line in the hot sun...only to get a voucher that I had to take elsewhere to get money.....well, with Quality, the few trips I've made so far have been a totally different experience! With room to pull right up to the bins, friendly people helping me figure out what goes where, no waiting and in-and-out with cash in hand in less than 5 minutes. I even got a 2 dollar bill (along with some other denominations!) Fantastic! Keep up the good work! read more

Been coming here for years, we live close by and we stop by every few months. Staff are mostly friendly and quick, some can be rude if you don't separate them properly, but most are kind enough to also let you know which kinds should go to a different bin. read more

Love this place. been to so many recycle joints over the decades. this one is fast, efficent and no nonsense.

Their website says they pay for cardboard, but they do not. They have large containers for cardboard, although I do not know if they recycle or put it in the trash They were doing a healthy business with plastic and cans when I was there read more

Not the best. Recycle at Vista area centers & you will get better return for your efforts.

Dropped off copper piping from a remodel. Great price and fast. 1 ST time and now I know where to go for this type of thing. Thanks

I like the staff here so much. They are all so friendly and patient! Even when I bring my kids, they always have a smile on their face and are patient with them. It's worth coming here even though there are tons of recycling centers closer by. :) read more

It's my first time recycling my plastic bottle, I went on a Saturday morning/afternoon before they close. The gentleman working that day was very helpful and was helping me sorting my plastic bottles for example water, bottles, monster cans, energy drinks, alcohol bottles etc. I really like their customer service. I definitely will come back again. I was happy that I got around $45 for just recycling plastic bottles. read more

Love this place! My first trip to Quality Recycling was an eye opener. You drive in, usually in a line of other vehicles and are directed to a bay to unload your recyclables. Then someone comes up and assists you unload your vehicle and help you put the bottles, plastic and aluminum in separate barrels. What a pleasant surprise. Doesn't take long, great and friendly service. read more

Efficient, clean and friendly service. Hours are great too. I will use them always. Salute

Not friendly staff. Really sticklers about counting your bottles. Not patient. Would not reccomend this place. It's closer to my home but I would rather go elsewhere. read more

Came in to do a military move weigh and the team was great. Allen was super friendly and helpful. Thank yo for taking care of my family!

Quality Recycling is a very good CRV service to the community..they are quick and friendly service with physical help to speed up the process..the only thing I don't understand is that they close their gates at.430pm instead of 5pm like their sign says..otherwise good recycle center read more

Quality recycling employees are awesome and work hard and fast! Only place I come to recycle at.
