Cal requires them to pay by individual container or weight. They don't offer to pay by container and their sign only shows by weight so this leads the customer to think they can only get paid by weight which is a lot less than by individual container. Sneaky way to do business. Won't go there again. read more

The guy was nice & quick but couldn't accept glass since his coworkers didn't break down the glass earlier. Also, we were due $7.44 but he only gave us $7 because he said he didn't have the .44 Why don't they have change? He should've offered to give us the .44 of cans back if we wanted or asked if we have change to make up the dollar. Or how about ACTUALLY having change? At least he was nice but now I realize the other recent bad reviews were correct. Feels so blatant to not ever have the change and not mentioning it beforehand. Skimming 6% :/ They're open 9-5 M-F & 9-4 Sat/Sun read more

Their posted hours are 9am to 4pm. After reading the negative reviews on this location I suspected they would be late to open so I waited until 10:15am to show up. The door was padlocked and no staff was around. This is not a serious business. read more

I got there today at 9.10 am. They open at 9.00. One guy sitting outside all doors still locked up. His partner who works with him had to go to the bank he should be back soon. I waited till 10.30 still not open. What kind of service is this? They have no regard of time. A bad way to run a business. I just left. Was unable to do what I had planned. Let's hope they don't make a habit of this. read more

If I could give this place less than zero stars I would! The one star is generous. These people are thieves! I recycle here every 6 months and I've noticed that recycling amounts have been less and less every time I go, but this last time today at 4:00 pm was highway robbery! I use the exact same bins I always do for recycling so I always know how much in aluminum and how much in plastic I am recycling. My husband who does not speak Spanish offered to handle it for me while I went into Costco. They literally only wrote him a ticket for half the amount I normally get and they wouldn't show him the scale. To boot, they claimed they had no cash available so now I have to go back to pick it up on my own time a day later. That is some master trickery. They used to be trustworthy but times have certainly changed. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. ¡Si pudiera darle a este lugar menos de cero estrellas, lo haría! La única estrella es generosa. ¡Esta gente son ladrones! Reciclo aquí cada 6 meses y me he dado cuenta de que las cantidades de reciclaje han sido cada vez menores cada vez que voy, ¡pero esta última vez hoy día a las 4:00 de la tarde fue un robo en la carretera! Utilizo exactamente los mismos contenedores que siempre uso para reciclar, así que siempre sé cuánto en aluminio y cuánto en plástico estoy reciclando. Mi esposo que no habla español me ofreció a cargarse mientras que yo iba al Costco. Literalmente, solo le escribieron un boleto por la mitad de la cantidad que normalmente yo recibo y no le mostraron la báscula. Lo peor fue afirmando que no tenían dinero en efectivo disponible, así que ahora tengo que volver a recogerlo a mi tiempo libre un día después. Eso es un truco maestro. Solían ser confiables, pero los tiempos ciertamente han cambiado. Hazte un favor y ve a otro lugar. read more

Sunset Recycling Center - Sunset Recycling on Hwy 111 by Costco. - Recycling Center Near Me - La Quinta, California

I normally take my recycling to Burrtec in PD, but wanted to try this place. The man helping me was very friendly. I weighed my (heavy) plastic bottles before taking them there and they weighed a little over 10 lbs. I couldn't see, and wasn't told by the man, what the scale weighed my bottles at. After he tossed the bottles into his big bin he had me sign the recycling form that showed I was only receiving $10.43. The pay rate for these bottles is $1.32 per lb. I told him I weighed my bottles before bringing them there - at a little over 10 pounds and he said, "Ah, close enough!" I should have received closer to $13.00, so either the scale is way off, or this young man is a thief! I also did NOT received a receipt! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE AND GO TO BURRTEC INSTEAD!! read more

why has I been closed since Saturday with no sign or info? I've been there 3 days I. a row.

The 2 young workers on Tuesday 8/14 were pleasant and very helpful. Some of the recyclables were not sorted and they kindly sorted them for me. In the past, an older man refused to assist me and raised his voice, in a disrespectful manner. I would like to commend these 2 young workers (female and male). read more

Never opens at 9 am like it says on the sign. Runs out of cash a lot. Very poorly managed.

Been coming here for the past months and the guys there are very friendly , always going in an out , getting my money and leaving happy , thanks you guys! read more

Less $ this time than last month and last month and last month with the same amount of bags. They said if you count 50 empty bottles than $5.00 or by weight is &2.65? What? All the other times with 3 bags is $4.00. I left telling them I'm not going to argue over $2.00! SCAM with those 2 males!!! read more

I stopped in and brought 9 large trash bags of plastic bottles usually worth about 80-90$ at the recycling center I usually go to but this one was on my drive so I thought I would give it a try. When they had put away all of our product they gave me a receipt of $36. I asked why are they stealing from me. Do not go here they will give you a fraction of what you deserve. read more

Very easy!!! I had a LOT of bottles and cans that needed recycling, and the center was convenient with easy to follow instructions. When I was done I received a cash payment in exchange for my bottles and cans. If you are there at the same time that Sarah is working, she is very helpful! Despite me arriving close to closing time, upon my arrival Sarah greeted me and helped me sort my materials. Other recycling places have you sort on your own, so this service was a HUGE help to me. Thanks again! Sunset recycling is my new go-to! read more

That place is very unfriendly. i drove up to the front with garbage bag full on Aluminum cans.. He begrudgingly. Then as he tried to weigh them , machine didn't work. Then told me could not park where I was AND that not to bring cans in plastic garbage bag!!! Finally came up with $2.31..way less than what expected. I will not be going back!! read more

Empty and that was nice but we were the only ones there and it took as long as if there was a short line. Beside that the amount of cash back that we cot was less than 1/3 of what I'm use to getting. I'll have to search for a place that offers more cash back in this area. Now that I think about it, that's probably why they were so empty. read more

I rarely leave reviews but the woman named Sara working there was very professional. She was fast and knowledgeable. It was so hot outside & she worked fast to get the job done. Fast, easy and helpful. Thanks, Sara! read more

I've been here once before. Never any issues. Just came dropped my stuff off and was paid and on my way. Today however is a completely different story. I got here a little after 9am and the man running the center gave me my baskets and informed me that he needed to run across the street for something at Home Depot. I thought okay, I still need to unload and sort, so I can wait and there was one gentleman in front of me. Big mistake. Let's just say it is currently 10am and the gentleman in front of me is still here waiting to be helped. If I hadn't unloaded and sorted in be gone by now. I'm looking into other recycling centers next time. read more
