0 stars. Tri-Ced failed to pick up my recycling, claiming it was inaccessible because a car was…read moreparked in front of the bin. This claim is completely unacceptable. The recycling bin was touching the street and placed directly next to two other cans that were serviced without issue by Waste Management. The driver got off the truck and serviced my address, proving accessibility was not the problem. I am located on a busy street and have no control over who parks or where people park. Expecting residents to manage street parking to accommodate Tri-Ced's convenience is unreasonable. When I called to resolve this, I was met with dismissive and poor customer service and was again told the bins were "inaccessible," despite clear evidence to the contrary. This is a failure in service, accountability, and customer support. Tri-Ced needs to own this mistake and correct it, not deflect responsibility with excuses.

The team at this facility and the leadership are the single best environmental vendor I have ever…read moreworked with. I handle large volumes of universal waste, ITAD, and obsolete products with my organization, and this group not only handles it with speed, care, security when required on ITAD, but also with some of the most social focused programs I have come across. Eddie and his team have worked with us to provide amazing solutions around the world and locally, when we have items that have reached the end of our life cycle, he helps find new ways to power homes in 2nd world nations, give jobs to folks who need opportunities, and still take the time to be a phenomenal vendor that responds to inquiries in record time. Use this vendor. Period. Seriously love working with these folks.

I had a terrible experience at CalWest Recycling. The owner was incredibly rude and unprofessional…read morefrom start to finish. Not only was he cursing at me, but he also called me a "dick," which is completely unacceptable behavior for someone running a business. To make matters worse, I was instructed to unload and move my own pallet of batteries for recycling. After I had already done the work, I was suddenly told I couldn't continue because I was wearing Birkenstocks. If that was actually a safety policy, one of the employees could have easily told me before I started unloading instead of waiting until I was finished. When I was told I had to wait in my car, I simply walked over to my vehicle, and the owner continued insulting me by calling me a "dick" as I left. Customer service and basic professionalism were completely absent. There are plenty of other recycling businesses that treat their customers with respect. I would definitely recommend taking your business elsewhere.

I needed a place to recycle single-use batteries and other stuff Best Buy won't recycle and luckily…read morethey take most things here. Just check their website before you go so you don't waste a trip *NOTE = For Household recycling, they are really only opened Wednesdays - Saturday's. I showed up on Monday looking like an idiot and had to come back again on Wednesday. Someone posted a picture on yelp with the hours and I think they are accurate. General Process: 1.) You turn into the center 2.) Household Recycling is immediately on the left 3.) You back into a designated spot and open your trunk 4.) Fill out the recycling form (Name, Address, Signature, etc.) Pretty painless and I thought it was great. If it's not out of your way and you want to try to help the environment rather than throwing it in the trash, this is the place to go for Fremont Residents.

Google says they close at 4:30 PM, and I arrived around 1:30 PM. Today, I stopped by again around 1:00 PM. After waiting in line for about 15 minutes, one of the employees named Brendan came over and was extremely rude. He basically said, "I don't care. Right now we are only helping people who have an account with us." Very disappointing experience, especially after I had already been told twice that I could come back. The customer service and communication were terrible.
