Aside from the hours (Tues-Sat, 9am-3pm), I don't see many problems with this place. You can pull your car up in to the driveway and grab any number of garbage cans to fill with recyclable material. It's loud. No one is especially talkative. You go, give them your recyclables and hope that a big number shows up on the screen. There were about four people in front of me and with each type of material, (various plastics, aluminum, etc.) a new measurement is taken. On the side of each garbage can is a number specific to that container. That's how much the container weighs (they vary), so they can subtract that from the gross weight. Clever. Getting a few dollars back from all the beers and sodas you've consumed is better than getting a kick in the pants. Oh, and they issue checks now instead of cash. Probably safer. read more

I miss the old manager. We went by today and they said they don't take customers after 2:45 and they just took their last customer (it was 2:45pm)...pretty frustrating to have to load cans up just to be turned away even though their hours are open until 3pm. To make matters worse I tried to drop cans off yesterday and got there at 3:01 and they told me they close at 3. read more

When Dan(guy who ran this location for at least 15 years) left they stopped accepting water bottles by the count up to 150! This was started not longer after Covid-19 hit where he would allow us to bring up to 150 water bottles & be paid by the count! It makes more sense because if for example you take in 100 bottles & get paid by the weight you literally will lose more than half the money you paid for the deposit. The new crew apparently went back to the old standard of allowing only fifty at a time by count! The lady there claims Dan was breaking the law! That was a blatant lie. I had already look up this limit & it states that it's just policy, which is also a load of bull! We pay 5 cents per bottle & how could it be against the law to get ALL of your money back? The 1st time I took water bottles in(with the new staff there) I didn't know that the limit was reduced to 50 & I dumped the whole 100 bottles I brought into one of the drums! I told them 100 for a count, then they told me the bad news! I counted out 50 & there was no offer of help to do that, while the worker just stood there watching. After I got the meager check for $2.50 I went to my car(I'm disabled, so I was parked in the handicap parking) & the guy who just stood there with no offer of help suddenly decided to offer to help me close my car door??? I stopped him! Think about the whole scene.....I was upset about the whole reduced count situation while this guy just stood there, likely because he was annoyed, because these recycling centers possibly give bonuses when they take in a profit. It's also counter-intuitive when you think about their purpose to recycle materials, to waste paper & printing ink when I have to make 2 separate trips to take in a total of 100 water bottles when I could done it all in one trip! It's simply not worth the wasted gas for me. read more

I've been to the recycling center in Dixon on First street a couple of times. It is amazing. Easy. Friendly staff. They refused to accept a tip so I left money on the floor and drove away. I've used other recycling centers in Southern California which were good also but this place in Dixon is OUTSTANDING. Give it a try. read more
