This place was pretty easy to find. I had a beautiful brass leaf table to recycle. It was gorgeous and I had it in my San Diego home for many years. Going to miss it! read more

SA Recycling - This must go! - Recycling Center Near Me - Thousand Palms, California

See all

Very good recycling redemption prices and incentives for lots of items. Extra money and doing spring cleaning.

Wonderful experienc. So easy. Retired my van. It only took 15-20 mins and I get a check! The building where I waited was comfy and cool. They gave me an ice cold water while I waited. THANKS SA! read more

I took plastic bottles and aluminum cans there because they told me on the phone that they were a bottle and can redemption center. That might have been years ago, but not in 2024. They could not provide the name or location of a redemption center. I thought it was a bit odd for a recycling facility not to know of a location where bottles and cans can be redeemed. Based on the meager number of bottle and can redemption centers in Coachella Valley (eg: Palm Springs only has one) it seems that Coachella Valley residents are not all that concerned with cashing in their bottles and cans. read more

The compost here is amazing and very rich. The staff answers all my questions and are very knowledgeable.

SA Recycling is NOT the place to take your metal recycling. They refused to pay me my recycling fee because I was over their UNSPECIFIED three month collecting limit unknoweth to me as the ink on their sales receipt disappeared in just two weeks. In addition, I did NOT sign a contract with SA as to a 'statute of collection limitations'. So, in essence, they ripped me off. When I told them that I was a late senior and had heat exhaustion in the 123 degree Thousand Palms summer, they just shrugged it off as "nothing". I guess they didn't like my face. read more

It's funny how they flip flop policy depending on who's in line. The place is a total rip off

Excellent place I take all my green waste concrete and wood there they keep the facility very clean and free of nails unlike other places where I have received a few nails in my tires. Great staff the guy guided me back and told me to avoid the debris that was in the way highly recommend this place. read more

Went there at 3 o'clock and nobody was there even though they don't close until 5. Seems unprofessional in the first place. I will just go somewhere else to get my recycling needs. read more

Love this place, I go here for compost. Only $25 for a ton. They have two types, fine and large. I always get the fine for my trees and plants. Great stuff. read more

This was our first experience bringing in scrap metal and Edward made it a very positive experience. Edward was very professional and courteous but very patient with us newbies. We have several questions and he answered all of them with a smile on his face. If we ever have future needs in the scrap metal business we know where to go. read more

Took 12 days and 2 phone calls to get a check that was supposed to be held for 3 days. Their excuse was they didn't see the red stamp on the paperwork that said "mail check". This is the second time I've taken a large trailer full of recyclables to this location and this happened both times. I won't be back! read more

Great place for Compost and dumping greenwaste. The ladies in the scalehouse are kind and make you want to come back again. I didn't recycle metal, but their metal area looks very organized. All in all i had a great experience read more

These people took advantage of a 20yr old kid. I tried to get rid of my car because I was traveling with the military. The middle aged Caucasian woman with blonde hair, and the shorter, round Hispanic woman coerced me into selling me car to her personally telling me she could give me more money than what the company would. I was leaving for a deployment and didn't know anything about selling a car and they convinced me to leave them the title and tags on the car saying they would handle it. 2 months later I'm getting calls and billed for almost $700 in towing fees because they never turned the tags in like they said. Also lied to the MVA saying they were my "girlfriend" trying to reclaim the car. Absolutely unacceptable behavior for a human being. Now I'm overseas and cannot physically handle it myself. I'll run this as far up as I have to until this is settled and I'm properly compensated and removed from that vehicle. If legal action is required so be it. Disgusting. read more

I called ahead told them what I had and drove to their location. I drove from thermal to their facility(1 hour away).I was turned away because of an employees mistake. Horrible experience read more
