I was looking for a recycle center to drop off my old pool pump and recently died battery hedge trimmer. I didn't want them to end up in a landfill so I googled and found out you can recycle e-waste and hazardous household waste at TKO Recycling. The process was really simple and efficient. I ended up getting a little money in return which was a plus. read more

This was my first time ever visiting a recycling center, and I didn't know what to expect. The staff walked me through every step, from sorting to weighing, and made it stress-free. The machines worked smoothly, the process was fast, and I left with both cash in hand and peace of mind. The value of that first experience was incredible. read more

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

Amazing staff, easy to get in and out. Won't go anywhere else. Super friendly and well run

NO LONGER RECYCLING CANS OR BOTTLES. They will recycle wire, batteries, and electronics - call before going to be sure they'll take what you want to drop off. read more

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. read more

TKO Recycling - No longer accepting cans or bottles as of 2023! - Recycling Center Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

I've gone to a bunch of recycling centers around sac and this is by far my favorite. Easy parking, always quick in and out, and every single one of the employees are always nice and cracking jokes, the employees really make it the best spot to go to for me. And the prices, they beat almost every other recycling center I've been too on price. read more

No longer taking CA CRV. Showed up last week and there was a big sign saying they no longer accept CA CRV. This was the only place left in the area. read more

I don't know why this place doesn't have better reviews. I almost didn't want to go here due to the bad reviews. However they were the only place open on Sunday in my area. Therefore we decided to go. First off, this place is a big recycling place, not like those little sheds you find on a corner. They have people on forklifts come out to help assist you with your cans & bottles. Super easy to separate & they pay you top dollars! I got $162 back from my cans & bottles! We will definitely come here again in the future & I recommend everyone to come to this place to try it for yourself. read more

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.

Monday morning 10:45am. Not a single person ahead of me! We have guests staying over so had to clean the house. My usual mix of plastic and aluminum cans yielded $19.19. I have lunch money, more importantly the wife is happy. Tip: bring some nitrile gloves as garbage bins are dirty and sticky. Watch where you drive in the parking lot... lots of sharp metal bits, screws and nails present! read more

See all

This place is okay. The good thing is that they are opened 7 days a week and they open right on time. The place is located in the middle of nowhere in Folsom Blvd and easy to miss as I did. It is near where all the furniture outlets are located as even the cashier was wondering how we found out about this place and said Yelp as it was the closet near by the house. Anyways there is a sign to where to recycle, bottles and cans, so I followed it, but since it rained afterwards there was big puddles. Since being a newbie where I did not know you can go inside and park inside where the cans are which is better than following the sign. Anyways you put your cans and bottles in a trash can. The guys usually do not talk, but instead point, I guess because it is too loud I am guessing. Anyways you figure it out. They do sort out which is CRV plastic as I accidentally had some Sunny D bottles in there, but they did not get mad at me. I went during Saturday in the morning and I was like the first 2 there and was not crowded. read more

It's a good place to take your recyclables and get good money for it. It is very organized and respectful workers.

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.

Go to Ming's! This place is a joke. I called to ask about the whole blocking the scale screens and "taring" the scales with other people's cans and the receptionist cursed at me and hung up twice! Guilty much! Ming's is wonderful and the place to go. I had almost no wait at all and the payout attendant was very pleasant to deal with!

One Star is the lowest rating but they really get NO STARS! They want to pay less than the CA Refund Value (CRV) I'm not sure if that is legal or not? To complain go here : website: complaints@calrecycle.ca.gov Their website states: The most efficient and effective way to lodge a complaint against a recycling center or an obligated retailer and initiate a CalRecycle inspection of that entity is by emailing your name, phone number, a brief summary of the issue, and the name and address of the subject of your complaint to: complaints@calrecycle.ca.gov read more

I went here recently and It wasn't a bad experience. They have a lot of rules which makes sure that everyone applies. The only thing that I didn't like is that the employees were standing without doing much and when I asked for help they declined saying they cannot touch my bottles. I understand that but seeing how many bottles I had they could've helped. read more

I have used this place in the past for cans/bottles recycling, no issues. But big warning, don't believe their website or info, they don't take CRV anymore. Drove 10 miles to use them and found out when I got here. read more

Used to go there regularly, As of Jan 2023 they no longer take CRV Aluminum or Bottles.

Came here Friday morning and there were a handful of people there already unloading their recycled goods. Plenty of garbage bins to empty your cans, bottle. etc. Good number of workers here so makes the process smooth- everything gets weighed and counted then you get a receipt (they will ask you for your license plate number so be pepared) to take to the cashier (will need ID) to get your money. Make sure you wear closed toe shoes as there were plenty of glass shards on the floor and be careful parking in the inside lot due to scrap metal. read more

I came here because it was the only recycling place open on Sunday that I can find. The person helping me was pretty nice. I personally would take your cans somewhere else less shady though. Here's the deal they had two trashcan set up one smaller than the other. They had two scales the bigger trashcan was on another scale where you cannot see the front face they actually had a jury rigged screen guard blocking The screen so you could not see the readout. On the receipt the smaller can which was a smaller diameter but the same height as the bigger trashcan showed a readout of 10lbs whereas the larger trashcan that could hold more cans showed a readout of 6lbs. I didn't make a big deal because honestly what would be the point with arguing with people shaving Weight for a few dollars but honestly screw these guys. At the end of the day they probably got me for 20 bucks or so but the way I look at it I payed 20 bucks to know to never to go there again. read more

TKO is awesome! The employees are always friendly, the place is always super clean, prices are more than fair and they are super efficient!

Very efficient service, in and out within 15 min, staffs are very helpful, they offer us a huge metal container to handle all of our glass bottles without us asking. Strongly recommended. read more

TKO Recycling - Recycling Center Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

Solid recycling center. They seem to pay fair market value and I'll definitely be coming back again

This person doesn't know recycling- claiming I have to be the one why buys the cans to recycle them. This recycling center is dumb as hell and the lady who runs it is can't come up with a valid argument to save her ass. Shit homeless recycle all day and you do t tell them shit. Place is garbage. read more

"Greedy, I have felt like I was in a robbing station." I used a pressure washer to clean my aluminum that I removed off of the Chevy Silverado truck that I totaled and I removed all or most plastic, metal & grime. I was only given 50 cents a pound. They called it TAINT METAL. UGH!!! read more

I've been going here for several years. This place is clean, well organized, and have never encountered angry people like you do at other places. It's a reliable recycling center. read more

Haven't been there in awhile due to the pandemic but the place has changed a bit. A little bit easier to recycle, but they have new rules in place to everyone of us safe. "Stay behind the red line when processing your recycles" read more

This place is lame. You would think with all the money they are burning is for they would spend a little on maybe patching a few of the Volkswagen-size holes in the parking lot and entrance I almost put it in 4- low in the Chevy. Instead the blacked-out Escalade on 26's with the custom plate TKO explained a lot. The fools that work there are slow and lazy and don't really seem to have grasped the concept that if you are to work in the customer service field or better put if your job involves working around other humans that you will need to interact with on a daily basis than one should exhibit some level of social skills some where above monkeys throwing $#|+ at the zoo. Or apparently not in this industry. I wouldn't go back if they paid 5 bucks a pound crv! Thanks but no thanks TKO suck it. read more

Best recycling business I've ever been too. If I owned a center, this is what it would look like. I think the rate was a little low for the return but I'd gladly receive less it I'm can get in and out in 5 minutes and the place is no joke. read more

Recently had to recycle bottles and this was the only place open Saturday closest to my home. I had to come back again as their was no available parking and the line of people waiting to have there bottles weighed was a little too long for me. I decided to come back right before they closed and their was a smaller line and parking available. Beware that you might spend close to an hour here. But for all my time spent I did get decent money for my bottles. This was my first time doing this and just a friendly warning, wear clothing you are not afraid of getting dirty. Also, your vehicle may get dirty after this trip, mine did. I managed to leave the place with a dusty car. Obviously, these places are smelly and dirty but I gave it a lower rating due to the time spent and non existent parking. I want to add, the employees seemed nice and helpful especially to a newbie like me. read more

Well I wished I had the same experience as the last reviews. The guy that weighed the cans my son brought was bent drinking in front of us. The smell of booze was strong at 11am. I would never go there again. read more

Their computer was having an issue while I was there and I was shorted 12+ pounds of aluminum cans (approximately $22). I called attention to there only being 3 weight entries on the receipt, instead of the 4 weights that should have been entered. No one would listen to my questioning. They pour the cans into a bin with other cans, so you cannot dispute their receipt. I will never go to this recycling place again and strongly suggest that you look elsewhere for your recycling needs. read more

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

Fast, efficient, very friendly, open on Sundays and have a cover for rainy days. Would so recommend this place I will certainly go back. Thanks for your service. read more

This is about the yard they have in Roseville. I suggest you don't go there unless you want to deal with unprofessional, and getto/rude staff. The women in the office does not know what customer service is. I'll never go there again and give them my business. I suggest you don't either. read more

This establishment has my vote! The first visit I had to set up a account which if one has various scrap now and later to recycle is a benefit in my view! The employees were friendly and in no time at all I was in and out! There is a $ hold on non ferrous metals of 3 days which I totally understand as well their yard is organized and kept! read more

Very clean and organized. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Much nicer then the other recycling centers I have been to.

I recycled nine barrels of 2-liter bottle and aluminum cans. I've been saving it for about a year because I hate dealing with recycling centers. This was much better than the other places I've been. The people were friendly, and the whole operation was pretty organized and business-like. read more
