No longer accepting cans or bottles as of 2023!
Jennae V.

I love this spot for recycling! It's the closest center to Folsom. Unfortunately, as of January 2023, TKO will no longer be accepting CRV cans or plastic. It's nice of the company to provide a pamphlet showing other locations that will offer this service.

It's standard recycling compensation. But the workers will talk about you in Spanish assuming you don't know what they're saying.

This place is my go to for recycling. They make it really easy and although they're pretty busy usually the line still moves fast.

Easy drop off of cans and bottles. Quick line, so don't have to wait long. Located in a convenient spot. Couldn't ask for much more.

As far a taking your cans in, it is pretty boring. But the staff at TKO were very pleasant, especially Darryl.

If you scroll down more in their reviews you will see a long comment explaining to you how to get there because it is a bit tricky and ngl scary.

Keep in mind I am just a homeowner with a basic truck. Regardless, on the phone or in person, just be polite and ask questions and they'll be more than happy to help. When I called to see if they would take my material, the girl on phone explained in detail on how to pull up and get weighed and continue on. When I wasn't sure where to drive in the yard after the scales, the ticket guy took his time pointed out landmarks in the yard for me to follow. Even the crane operator helped with hand signals to tell me where to back in my truck. Then why I was getting a little lost to drop off copper, Iram in the back led me where to park, took my material, weighed it out and sent me on my way with pleasantries. When checking out I parked my truck, the attendant and asked me where my truck was. I explained I parked it next to the building... She said I needed to put it on the scales so she could weigh it; we both laughed at my lack knowing what to do. She was extremely understanding and processed my receipts. Any other yard would be short tempered and annoyed by my lack of experience. This team was awesome. also, I got a fair price for my metal. I wish I had more to give! Lol

This is the best place to recycle metal. Sims always provides the best prices compared to other…read morerecyclers. Other metal recyclers take their metal to Sims to make a profit. Sims always provides good prices since they are a large international company. There is always a long line so be prepared to wait. They are closed for lunch at 10:45-11:45, so avoid going at that time. There is a non-ferrous building where items can be placed in 4'x4' bins and weighed. Recycling tin/iron is accomplished by driving onto a scale to enter the scrap area and driving off of the scale upon exit to determine the scrap weight. Large aluminum scrap such as engines/transmissions can also be deposited through the drive on scale area. Be sure to bring a hard hat and vest. They have loaners if you don't have the required safety gear, but it may not be clean. They no longer take CRV items. Now it is not crowded with homeless people since this used to be the main CRV recycler of the entire population of downtown homeless. There is a building to receive payment. They are very vigilant about preventing scrap metal theft. You must present your driver's license in order to recycle metal. Thumb print may also be required depending on what is being recycled. They will also make you look at a camera so they can take a clear picture of your face. Payment for non-ferrous metals is provided in 3 days and you can come back to receive cash or elect to have a check mailed.
