We sometimes use S A Recycling at the facility I work at. They are dependable, and show up when they say they will, cut checks in a timely manner. Have not had problems at all. read more

Good place for selling scrap metal but if it's ur first time going it's kind of confusing to find

I took 3 huge sheets of clean MLC aluminum. Measuring 115 1/8in x 54 1/4in 2 3/8in, 99 7/8 x 54 1/4in x 2 3/8in, & 99 7/8in x 39 7/8in x 2 3/8in. All 1/4 of an inch thick. They paid it as if it was painted aluminum, which is less than clean MLC aluminum. I went to MEC Recycling and took the rest of the clean mlc I had left, and they paid it right. I suggest you skip this place and go over to MEC Recycling instead!! They were very helpful and, most of all, honest. read more

Very easy process to recycling. Very helpful and cheerful staff. I would recommend this business. Very fair on prices.

Compared to those recycling centers in the parking lots of grocery stores, this place is quite involved in their process. Once your items are weighed, you are givin a receipt. You then move your car about 50 yards and park in front of a booth in which you will find a worker that will give you another receipt with a barcode. You will take that receipt and go into the shed with the ATM, which will scan the barcode and issue your money. But the prices do seem to be fair, and I believe I was given the full value of my recyclables. read more

Place is big , you have to go down a little street to get to gate 7 to take your bottles an cans . It's pretty easy pull up take your bags to a spot an separate them in trash cans . I go with a friend we both women , an the guy that works there helps two young ladies before us An helps them Put the cans an plastics in the bend that's recycles . Thinking oh cool he'll help us because some of the container that are holding the bottles are pretty heavy so that was not the case , he told us to throw in our own cans an bottles in . 3 stars at first it was pretty easy , then when it came to getting pay out that was a different story , you take your slip to another building , then they give you a paper you take to a machine an it scans it an you get pay out. A lot of steps just so you can cash in your recycles . Wish they just made it easier . read more

lousy service. they dont pay the crv value for tall can only will do it for 50 short cans. tall cans pay 10cents a can so 50 cans would be 5 dollars. their payment by weight for 50 tall 24oz cans was 4.13.. ie their scale rips u off. then when you complain they wont even pay you cash. even though the total amount is less then 10 bucks. they make you take a check.. and the check they gave me bounced.. oh and their checks are thru bank of america and its a waste of time to call bank of america because you cant get to a live human before the voice mail hangs up on you..do yourself a favor and find a state can machine so you can at least get your full crv paid to you read more
