I typically only have one or two bags as I don't like to have a hunger stock pile at my house. You can also recycle your metal/appliances there as well. Across the street you can drop off your cardboard to be recycled as well. It's better to get a few bucks back for your cans and bottles instead of putting it in the trash.

I was told by businesses in Pleasant Hill and Martinez that Recycle It would be faster service compare to going to Concord Recycling Center. When I come to this location I already got my plastic bottles and cans separated which impresses the people that work there. I am in and out within five minutes. I am aware of plastic bottles and cans to be separated which I have seen other people still separating theirs which they take longer to do. A good business for a place to get money for your plastics and cans.

It used to be a 4-5 star review, but…read more.. I've been coming here for years, and it was always great. Friendly guys, and quick service. The last 4 times I've visited, it's been self service, then the woman in the office helps you. She's been questioning me about my cans every time, and told me that the next time I was going to get scrap metal pricing, because the cans didn't have labels on them (the beer label stickers had been peeled off). She also questioned if I crushed them with a machine. What kind of machine? I mean, I crush them, like a normal person, with my feet, so I can fit 4 times as many in a bag, but whatever. Unfortunately for me, it's become a hassle, and awkward trip, so I will be finding somewhere else to recycle.

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.

Wasn't like other dumps where you weighed in and out. All trash goes in the same pile except for anything made of metal, which I had to do to drop off the washer I wanted to dump.

Terrible service from the compost driver that refuses to come down the one way street even though…read morerecycling and trash come to pick up. I have a full compost bin not being picked up unless it gets rolled down to the main road. Do your job!! Customer support promises next day pick up that never occurs and regional manager (aaiello@republicservices.com) got involved and gave me his work number, but nothing came about it. He did not answer my emails, calls, and texts. Maybe a Yelp review will actually do something. Maybe a visit to City Hall to speak about their contract. I am not the only one upset !

Below is what I posted earlier. I had called 3 days in a row with no response, and when I finally…read morefound an email to complain to, I got a response to post my complaint in Yelp. Well, that seemed to work, as I finally got service and a call from Republic Services to follow up. So I changed my review from 1 to 3. I'm happy they finally responded, but it should not have taken 3 days, nor the situation I posted on below. Republic Services did not pick up my black landfill barrel on Tuesday. I called Tuesday afternoon and they said it would be picked up by 6pm. It was not. I called Wednesday, and they said it was on schedule to be picked up Wednesday by 6pm. It was not picked up. I called on Thursday and they said it was on schedule to be picked up by 6pm on Thursday. It was not picked up. I don't know if they just blow off their customers with repeated lies, or they simply have no idea of what's going on in their service area. I don't know if there is any other service we are able to use, as it seems they have a monopoly, and I'm not sure complaints really help any considering the very low reviews this company has for their lack of service.

I don't know how this company has 1.5 stars -- truly the most unreliable, unprofessional service I…read morehave ever encountered. They make talking to comcast seem like a coffee date with your bff. I've been a customer for a little over 2 months since moving to the area and I am on a first-name basis with half of their customer service team for how many times I have had to call for missed pick-ups, misinformation, being charged for services/things I don't have (and then having to call back 10x times for the same reasons when they're not handled the first time) -- the list goes on and on. I'm getting ready to rally the troops to see if we can get Recology over here -- what a waste of time, money and energy being forced to use republic. Per the comment below: I am already in contact with your team and can assure you, although customer service attempts to be helpful, ultimately nothing happens unless the issues are escalated to management -- and even then I have encountered many many issues.

Nikki is such a pleasure to work with and really nice - she made the process so easy and had clear instructions. Our baby's play structure is going to be built on perfectly leveled and super safe ground thanks to the County Quarry. Only problem is looking for an affordable 10-wheeler trucking company to haul it over. We ended up with Foskett Trucking (recommended by County Quarry) because although they had a three hour minimum ($110 per hour), it was still much more affordable than other trucking companies that wanted $710-$900 total). I did a lot of research and County Quarry is the place to go for recycled base gravel, especially if you're only leveling the ground (for artificial grass, play structure, etc.). I checked prices at other places (ie Mt Diablo Landscaping to just name one), and it was $59.95 per cubic yard with $50 delivery. County Quarry is $13.75 a ton, which is much more affordable! Basically $800 less than anywhere else. Only issue I had was having to drop off a check because they don't take credit card or any payments over the phone. Still, this place beats them all. Definitely will come back for anymore backyard renovations!

After losing faith in Craig's List over the years, I had no idea what to do with my appliances and furnishings. I also wanted my items to "give back" to humanity. So, I called Bay Area Recycle. They were extremely helpful, informative and professional. They were unable to take my furnishings, but they referred me to someone who could help (Salvation Army and Bay Area Crisis Nursery). They WERE able to take my refrigerator for $35 cash, in a timely manner-- 2 days later! They removed the appliance from the storage unit, so I did not have to do any heavy lifting. Overall, an excellent experience. Why only 4 stars, and not 5? Well, they only accepted cash; and they only take electronics and appliances. However, I want to reiterate-- these folks are wonderful! I would use them again.
