Friendly and helpful workers to assist you. Wait time was minimal to get your money. Will go again.

Nice place located almost at the end of the street, it's on the left side as you drive up Iwaena St. in Halawa. I have not recycled in years so I was not familiar with the new routine. But the workers there were very nice and explained some important things to to before coming there. Sort your items by: 1) plastic bottles less than 17 oz 2) larger bottles but all bottles must have the HI recycle logo by the upc code 3) aluminum cans 4) bottles * remove the caps off all bottles You get paid more per pound for the smaller plastic bottles. If you only have a couple bags it won't make too much of a difference. read more

One of three open on Sundays... I'm not one to purchase too many drinks that require recycling but do try to accumulate some whenever possible so going to drop off items aren't usually necessary as gathering enough items does take some time. As my recyclables starting to add up a bit and decided to see where's the closest drop off location to my surprise that this Halawa location is open on Sundays! Love that and it is quite deep in as I drove and easily found it and found the process quite easy as it's a simple driveway with a few parking stall just steps away from the drop off area so there isn't just one car but multiple folks are able to drop off without being each others way. There are signs to inform you of the process they follow, all the basically the same process of emptying your items in the huge gray bins which they weigh or count the items and head to the cashier to pick up your cash. The staff is very efficient and friendly as I thank them for being open on a Sunday as the time saved is priceless and getting my items dropped off gave me a bit of breathing room that was much needed. Thank you! read more

Recycling in Aiea, Hawaii... This Reynolds Recycling Center is located in Halawa Valley. It's an industrial area with some feral chickens running around... and sounding off! There's a helpful arrow painted on the ground - at the entrance to the driveway... one way up and in... and one way down and out. The parking stalls at the front were all taken, so I parked in the next lot. That's okay because I only had one bag of plastic bottles. The nice male worker called me "auntie" and asked if that was all I had. I had poured my bottles into a gray trash can. The guy removed a plastic milk jug and then hand-counted my haul. He gave the number to the cashier who tallied up the cash and handed it to me. I didn't even have to sign because it wasn't a big amount. It's small change to some people, but every penny counts! read more

This is by far the best recycling center I have ever been to. The staff are so friendly and helpful. They genuinely give good service and ask politely if I counted my recyclables. I told them that I didn't. No problem, they put it on a scale, weight it, and quickly I'm out of there. I wish more sites are as efficient and friendly as this one is. Keep up the great service! read more

Why recycle? Recycling turning waste material into useful products and helps conserve energy and materials. It's also good knowing we are helping to reduce waste hitting our landfills. Yes... Win, Win, Win! Great experience today with no line upon arrival. Once I drove up and parked, an associate quickly placed four trash cans behind my vehicle to help me unload. Wow... Great customer service... This also helps to speed-up their overall process. Nice! Moved all recyclables inside to get sorted and weighed. Then proceeded to check out with the cashier. Don't think I was there for more then 10 minutes. I'll definitely be back. Much Mahalo! read more

I enjoy going to this location since it's fairly close to my residence, the workers have great attitudes and are fairly fast.

The two bruddahs were who working today 2/17, were super solid! They showed Aloha and were helpful in expediting the process. Mahalo

In and out, quick easy. Grab grey bins on the right, load up your stuff and get in line on the left, there weigh it and they give you a slip. Take the slip to the cashier and get your cash. Pretty simple. 8-5 everyday. You can have them count up to 200 items, if you want the full value. read more

Not really honest,I had two containers of aluminum cans and one can of plastic bottles,two full cans of glass bottles,I was watching them and they didn't weigh my glass bottles,I go there all the time but I know how much I supposed to get I usually get at least 22 dollars,this time I got only 17 dollars,I feel cheated,if they weighed my bottles I would have gotten more. read more

Located in Halawa Valley, this location has only four stalls available for customers. Open daily 8 AM to 5 PM and almost always busy. Fast and easy service. They take almost all recycles but check their website for more info. Pay is reasonable. read more

First time checking out this recycling center! I like the parking there! About 4 spots in front. The workers are very friendly! Paula helped me with my cans. I've been to recycling centers where the workers were rough, gruff and not friendly. Definitely NOT the case here as there are lots of empty bins in the front of the for the customers to use and the workers were both friendly and helpful! Will definitely come back to this location in the future! read more

First time here 10/11/2021, not a lot of parking but at least they remain open unlike other locations. I usually go to the Pearl City Location and I wasn't aware they're closed on Sunday's and Mondays so it was nice to learn that this one is closer to me (since I've moved). It's a bit of a wait because parking is limited, but if you give them a call and press 2, you can speak to a rep who'll give you any information that you need. 3 stars because parking really sucks, you pretty much have to wait in line to get to the entrance of the warehouse. But at least it's opened from 8 to 5pm "everyday (is what their automative machine said, when you call their number)." read more

Cyndy's Bottom Line: Location matters. Excellent customer service at this location because of Ren! This was my first time at this location and won't be my last. The staff here is so friendly and very helpful. It is a drive up location one vehicle at a time. Ren was so helpful from the start as he signaled me to make a turnaround and park behind the waiting vehicle. Ren was so nice to help me separate the bottles because the bag was mixed with cans. Who does that? It wasn't his job to do but he assisted. Ren provided excellent customer service with a friendly positive attitude! Mahalo! Follow the rules: 1. Sort at home. Don't come here to do your sorting. 2. Containers must be cleaned. Don't bring uncleaned containers. 3. Don't not go inside the building. Hours: 8:00-5pm daily Face covering required. read more

He won't disappoint! We are in and out with him. His also very respectful and he gets the job done! Keep up the good work bud! You should get an award for being the best worker in halawa read more

Reynolds Recycling - This Reynolds recycling work is a very fast and hard working guy! We pull and it's a in and not he works all around the bail machine and all - Recycling Center Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Open 7 days a week so we prefer to go to the Halawa location instead of the Pearl City location which is closer. Staff is friendlier there.

We went during the week and it was super clean and fast. We pulled up and immediately an employee placed three bins right next to the car so we could unload our recyclables from the trunk. How efficient! We had a full bin of aluminum cans and about a half full of bottles. read more

I went to Waikamilo location today and had a very bad experience with one of the employees. Left a bad review this morning. I decided to leave and take my recyclables to the Aiea location that was on my way. Total opposite experience. There was a line and yes like other reviews parking is tight. But they are so organized there the wait time was extremely reasonable. There are no special ways to do this process. Its just like all other recycle centers in general. If you read my review of the Waikamilo location you might understand that my experience today at 2 locations from same company differed greatly. The two employee's at Aiea were respectful and efficient. And they deserved the little something my wife gave them. read more

Don't sign the receipt pad without it being filled out first and get the receipt from the guy at the counter. That's the weights from the scale. They sometimes have you sign the paper, then they can just give you any amount, record the amount from the receipt in the book so it looks good, and then just pocket the rest. Not all of the guys do this but it does put the integrity of this business into question so I would just recommend that you not put yourself into a situation like this. Don't get ripped off! read more

Not sure if I went on a good day. Read earlier reviews and didn't experience any negative issues. Pulled up, was directed to a specific stall, then given a few trash cans to start the sorting process. The guy came over and helped pull the trash cans inside to get weighed. Cashier was nice and polite. Would definitely go there again vs the one by pearl city Don Q. read more

Kapiolani Blvd redemption site is a scam. The employee there was dismissive and did not want to help at all after emptying out our recyclables in their bin. He did not want to process our recyclables and just said "no". We could only leave without collecting any deposits we were owed from our cans. He stayed in their trailer and only left it to steal our cans after we left. Who gets those deposits we were cheated out of? read more

Reynolds Recycling - This guy did not process our recyclables - Recycling Center Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Very convenient location, but lady at the front needs to work on her customer service. Kinda rude and mumbles under her breath. Don't know what she saying but with that Grouchy face, I probably don't want to know what's she's saying. People are doing your company a favor by bringing their recyclables, so show some type of appreciation. read more

Less than 2 miles from home. Drove in on Sunday morning with no one else there. Before I could make it out of my truck attendants were already unloading my haul. Walked out of there close to 25 dollars. Easy peasy! read more

There is less parking spaces now. They got every other stall blocked to keep save distance between people unloading. So the wait is longer. Other than that, every professional and all business. Guess you have to to keep people moving when there is a line of cars waiting to unload. read more

AVOID HERE AT ALL COSTS!!!! YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF!! I came here with my child & her 2 cousins to have them help me sort out the cans & plastics that we've been saving up for months. This was the nearest location so we thought we'd try it out. NEVER AGAIN!! We had so many trash bags filled up that we had to come in 2 separate cars. The kids were so happy to help & even more excited to get paid after so they could treat themselves to something nice. We had 6 bins of plastics & 2 1/2 bins of aluminum soda cans. We go to the payout area & the guy working there cashes us out a whopping grand total of $29.00!!! My mom turned in way less cans & plastics at the town location & got $80.00 back so there's no way this could be. They are ripping people off & pocketing the rest. The worse part is to take from kids that is so disgusting! I could only imagine the elderly that they rob here. I'm trying to get in contact with a manager to file a complaint. Just wanted to warn others!! read more

I use these guys the most often but I'm considering another location at this point. There used to be a big location in town on Puuhale. There was the original location, and then a new one they moved to just down the road. Unfortunately, that location has closed, which sucks because the ones who work at that location are really great guys. Super laid back, super patient, you know they're working to collect a paycheck but they have a lot of fun doing it. I go there often enough and they knew me by name. However they had to close down that location, and sometimes for big loads I go to this one because they're not closed for lunch. Unfortunately, there is one person who used to work at the original Puuhale location that I find to be *extremely* rude. I don't know her name, but she's some short portly woman who has a bad temper and will yell at you for the slightest thing. I thought they fired her after enough complaints about her after the Puuhale location closed, but sure enough she got relocated to this location, and she's just as ornery as ever. Today was a State Holiday for a lot of us, so I imagine quite a few of us went to this location to get our stuff recycled. There was a line, and it seems they were understaffed. A lot of people who were new to recycling were there, and that lady has been yelling at absolutely EVERYONE there. She was slamming bottles and cans, muttering obscenities about the customers under her breath and generally being a jerk to people. The only time she wasn't yelling was when a tall and buff African-American gentleman came by and was trying to figure out how to do the sorting. Considering the current nature of whats going on at this time, I bet even a jerk like her realized she might lose her job if that person was to file a complaint against her. I'm going to make it a point to never go there if she's there. Everyone else there are great people with great customer service, but this person needs a serious attitude adjustment because it's clear she's not a happy person. read more

Just redeemed our $1.60 worth of recycles and it only took less than a minute. The worker who helped me was really nice preparing the containers for me even with just a few recycles. Their machines weren't working during my visit read more

Always very helpful. Get you in and out. Well answer any questions that you may have. Helped me unload and sort my recyclables

Since the COVID19/Coronavirus pandemic, this has been my go to place to input my recycling redemption. This one is located in the Halawa industrial area within Aiea, HI. I usually go on Sundays as it is not that busy. I usually do not have too much recycle redemption so I go in and out pretty quickly. The process is pretty simple as you just pull into the site, park your car, and just unload your things into the appropriate bins. The workers will usually take care of the rest and process everything pretty quickly. You just have to sign off of the redemption, get your money and head out. Although it may be a drive if you do not live within the immediate Aiea area, I would say it is pretty worth it as far as the ease of process goes. Will be coming back on a frequent basis for future recycling redemption. read more

Since the Shell Service Station's previous owners retired in AIEA the recycling station is no longer and regular customers were displaced and were forced to adjust. RR in Halawa became the only and closest alternative. The influx of new customers and increasing business turned out to be a positive. Although the drive is a bit further and far back in the industrial area it's not so bad a drive. The parking only allows for 2-3 vehicles at a time so vehicles must make a U turn and line up along the street to enter on the right side. But the workers are so gracious to help you off load and assist with the processing. Great service! read more

This recycling place is all the way at the end of the street. You can either use the machines and put one item in at a time or have them just weigh it depending how many recyclables you have. They also take cooper, brass, aluminum and steel We used the machine but then had to see someone with our receipt to get paid. I'm not going to lie, it was kind of fun using the machine. There is only one person working so you may have to wait depending if it's busy. Feeling good after getting some money back and recycling! read more

Been coming to this recycling center every few months and Every time we come here the staff are extremely nice.

I will give a FIVE STARS for the Saturday, 30MAY2020 staffs! You guys know who you are, both morning and afternoon crew. Thank you so much for the good experience and a VERY GOOD customer service you have shown to us. It was our first time here and we had a great experience. The recycling location near my house was closed due to COVID, so we had to travel 20mins to halawa location as we have no more room to store more recycle at home. We did not complained that we waited so long in line (2hrs) as we understand their policy (one car at time) and I actually like that. Me and my 65 yo father felt more safer. Morning crew were helpful. Even helped unload and empty the cans and bottles from the trunk of my car. Afternoon crew were also great! They were all doing their job efficiently to help/assist the people (one at a time). Kudos! Sunday, 31MAY2020 @ 0830. Different experience. Opposite from Saturday. First, we did not take turns driving up (one car at time). Secondly, the crew snapped at me. The crew was rude and shows annoyance to us. I hope you are not a racist. The way he talked to the person in front of me was also rude. The crew was not happy that our recycle bags was at the side of the road. We did not see a sign stating we cannot put it on the ground while waiting to open @0810 (10mins late). My father and I are responsible. To the crew, we did not asked you to come and help us carry them. I do not have a big vehicle, there was a reason why I had to come back twice to pick up more recycle at home. You telling and yelling at me to put the bags inside my car is not going to work. We came early so we do not need to wait 2hrs in line again. The money we earned from the recycle is for our food. Please be extra nice and understanding to people who are going through hardship this time. Many people lost their jobs and steal things. We don't! Where is your aloha? I did not get your name (I wanted to, but I let it go) I will still remember you though when I come back (that if you are still working there). Theres a way to communicate without being rude. Its a hard time for us all. We dont need extra rudeness and hardship. read more

Quick and easy. Limited parking. They sort your recycle but recommend sorting prior to arrival to speed up process.

Very efficient workers. Easier to come prepared, sorted by size and covers off the bottles. Saves time and won't hold up the line.

Worst customer service! We've been going here for over 10 years and have never experienced what we experienced today! The haole guy (who turned out to be the supervisor) was the most rudest person I have ever met in my life! His co-worker agreed with me that this guy was the worst person to work with! Go figure?! Visiting the corporate office on Monday. Changing recycling location until this guy is removed. read more

What used to be my go to favorite place for recycling has turned out to be one of the least favorite places for recycling for me. One of the biggest things I look for in a business or anywhere is customer service. This place definitely used to have that but the last couple of times I have been there to recycle my cans and bottles there have been some rude and unusual customer service. It seems to me as though the workers at this place do not like their job or have no customer service. Although this place is super close to where I live, I might consider going somewhere else or complaining about this place. I get there's a lot of things the place needs to abide by but to let it out on your customers with no customer service or unruly customer service is what backs away some people. Kinda sad that this was my favorite place. read more

Workers were rude and the pictures here do not depict how it is inside. There are no single bottle insert machines.
