I tried…read moreto look for a place that would pay me for the junks and found this place from local PennySaver in the mail. On some school e-waste collection events, they even wanted to charge me $10 or $20 for bringing them the junks...no thank you. I was paid $0.35/lb for computers (59 lb) and $0.11/lb for the TV (44 lb). I collect a bit over $25 for the e-waste, which is pretty good. Actually, I brought in two 40 inch LCD TVs and another customer at the parking lot asked to purchase one TV for $10 thinking of trying to repair it. Overall, it's a great experience. Customer service was quick and friendly.

Not only was he cursing at me, but he also called me a "dick," which is completely unacceptable behavior for someone running a business. To make matters worse, I was instructed to unload and move my own pallet of batteries for recycling. After I had already done the work, I was suddenly told I couldn't continue because I was wearing Birkenstocks. If that was actually a safety policy, one of the employees could have easily told me before I started unloading instead of waiting until I was finished. When I was told I had to wait in my car, I simply walked over to my vehicle, and the owner continued insulting me by calling me a "dick" as I left. Customer service and basic professionalism were completely absent. There are plenty of other recycling businesses that treat their customers with respect. I would definitely recommend taking your business elsewhere.

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!

    Can't beat their prices! I recommend Foskett trucking for delivery-…read moreSandy, truck driver extraordinaire, kicked butt getting 100 tons delivered in one day!

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.

They quoted me: $40 for curbside pick-up or $65 to come up one-flight of stairs and remove it from my apartment. 2 guys showed up on time and the price I signed for was the price I was quoted. Plus, they recycle as much of the mattress as they can whereas the other companies just take it to the Dump.
