I used the Yelp App to locate a place to recycle a 65" Flat Screen Samsung TV that had quit. I did…read morenot want to just throw it in the landfill. The App sent out two requests under the projects program for responses. Within 24 hours I received two excellent responses that fit my needs. The first was a local nonprofit recycling center with 6 miles. The other was Total Reclaim. Total Reclaim operates a recycling business that accepts on site delivery of recycling products including TV's and other electronics. I consulted their website for details and location and they were 50 miles away. They also have a pickup service in their local area but only rarely in my area. They do charge fees for their services. I choose the local facility because of closeness and smaller fees. It cost me just $7 to recycle the 100 pound TV. I encourage people to use the services of Total Recall when needed. The Anchorage Landfill operates a limited recycling program at the main landfill in Eagle River. It accepts glass which the MatSu Borough Landfill will not. They also accept hazardous materials but I am unsure about electronics. Check the websites for ALL locations to get details and costs concerning their individual operations. I encourage everyone to use the recycling programs to reduce waste, contamination and pollution.

Okay, this place is great!…read more There's a but ... that I will get to in a minute. So they take anything that's got electronics. All that gold, silver, tungsten and mercury boards, oh did I say all those non-recyclable Duracell and Energizer batteries. Yeah they take EVERYTHING... Lead, Dead Battery and Electronic-wise! So, there is a catch. You have to give them $15 bucks. Yeah they have to ship your electronics and batteries to the lower 48! They charge us. But before you say "Oh heck no" listen! Save up your electronics. Build it up. Collect it and store till you're ready. It's worth saving our precious landfills and water from deadly batteries and mercury metals. It's better to recycle and reuse! I'd pay $15 bucks to save the world ... would you?

I asked the driver if my car could be towed to my house and he said "no, it has to go to the shop". This was Saturday night around 7 pm. I called Monday morning before work and left a message. I got no call back so I called Tuesday and the lady said it was going to be $600 to pick up and going up $45 a day. I would have been able to pay for the tow to my house but I can't pay the cost to take it out much less adding $45 a day! They "steal" people's vehicles!

I have never in my life been treated so badly by a company. I have no idea how they even have a 3…read morestar rating in Google. I'd give a 0 if I could. The troopers called them to pick up my car that had been totaled. We tried to get everything out that we wanted but while I was being taken to the hospital and my mom and son were running a load to her house, they took the car. Contacted the owner and he said we couldn't get anything out while the car was on his lot. Said he'd been sued before because someone cut they're hand getting their stereo out on his lot. Pretty sure that was code for "you're not getting it till I get paid". A couple weeks when we got the check from the state, he was paid $1,300. Asked again to get stereo out. He said the car was blocked in on 4 sides, "for our protection so no one could steal out of it" (pretty sure that was code for 'so we couldn't steal out of it') and they'd have to get a front loader to move it. Waited 4 days and asked again. Was told no. Waited 4 more days and had my husband call, hoping if a man talked to him it would mean more. He told my husband "you're not a priority on my list of things to do. Don't call me again. I'll call you." Husband got mad, owner responded with, "The cars not yours anymore and you ain't getting the stereo now" and then hung up on him. It's been a month now so I go to the business, explain everything to daughter at front desk. She called owner and he again said give them a couple days. Waited 2 days and called again. He refused to give me and answer and hung up on me. Went to office again. After a VERY mean, rude, unprofessional visit, a guy said come back tomorrow. One of his threatening workers told us to get off his property and that (again) we weren't getting the stereo. Called troopers and he came back with ok tomorrow at 3 again. Son went back next day and they'd ripped the stereo out of the car. Wouldn't let my son get to his car. I felt so helpless and frustrated. I have been and will continue to tell everyone never to use this company. I would hate for anyone else to be treated the way myself and my family was!!!

This place is very confusing…read more "Alaska Recycling Center" appears to be the name of their website URL, not the name of the business. The name of the business is "Centeral Recycling Sevices" (CRS). When I asked the person working the machinery outside if this was the Alaska Recycling Center, he replied: "No, this is See-Are-Ess". Anyway, they are the same place. The address on Yelp will get you here. I recycled a muffler. Despite saying all over their website that they buy metal, it seems like that's only specific amounts. I wasn't offered any money, they just said I could leave it on the counter. Oh well, better than collecting dust in my garage.
