This was my first time to Town Clean Recycle Center. Alphonso was extremely helpful and very friendly. Alphonso told about some rules that I could find on the website regarding bottles with no labels which was very helpful. Looking forward to returning in a few months. read more

I have attempted to bring legit recyclables to this place over the last seven years. About 6 attempts with flattened aluminum cans, CA redemption glass bottles etc. Not once has the operator at this place ever accepted the materials. among the many excuses: Covid, I have to stay in the car. Too much wildfire smoke, try another day. Can you come back later? It's too rainy out. We're not taking glass today, maybe tomorrow. It's too cold, can you come back later? No. I can't come back later. Do the people who pretend to accept recycling here have even the first clue on how to manage a professional service to the community? I have dumped thousands of pounds of legit recycling and redemption containers in landfill with the regular trash because I DON'T HAVE TIME to make repeated visits with a truck in the impossibility rare event that this clown will actually be able to perform the basic service that is advertised on the front of the place. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS FRAUDULENT ESTABLISHMENT. read more

Unfriendly rude and tried to tell me they could not accept my cans because I got a new truck from Utah. I'll never go back there again.

It good when you get the right amount to f money for your cans I now weigh them before I go .

Complete rip off you got to watch this guy he does not put the can all the way on the scale. Makes me wonder how many other people he does this too I'd rather drive to Auburn than deal with this customer service zero Stars if I could read more

Arrived on Saturday with only misty rain. I was the only customer at site. Two bags of 100% sorted plastic drink bottles in webbed recycling bags. Three garbage bags of 90% drink bottles, couple of milk bottles with 3 aluminum cans mixed in. He refused to take my recycling. Would not let me place 3 aluminum cans in bucket and dump plastic bottles in another can. I could understand if completely mixed items but my two large recycling bags were 100% sorted. After trying to convince him to accept recycling he told me to take all recycling home. Wanted me to put two trash cans of plastic drink containers back into my recycling bags. I was not happy and he finally agreed to accept the two garbage cans of sorted water plastic bottles. He was completely rude and when I asked him to explain the plastic rules he told me to look it up on the website. Definitely not small town helpful or friendliness. Will not support him again. read more

Really disappointing in whatever was going on at this location my kids spent the better part of 3 months walking highway 174 collecting trash and cans to be told they wont except them in that condition because a car ran over them..... well no way you don't say ...of course they are that way they were all found on the side of the roads in county. What exactly are you teaching them? Not to recycle? my oldest said why help the city and county if the collection points act like they are to good to take them. Furthermore your employees shouldn't in no way cuss around children because they are mad at... customer courtesy goes along way. we will not be recycling anything with this locationa nd will be telling all my family and friends. read more

Biggest rip off in town I bring exactly the same amount of weight in every time I know weights go up and down kind of often but not as much as they were the last time I was in I'm going to find somewhere else to go read more

I was taking my cans in for recycling. while driving I realized they closed at 430 and it was 4 pm. I arrived shortly before 420 and they were packing up. I asked it they closed at 430 and he stated they "leave" at 430 and refused my service. they were completely packed up and gone before 425. I had even called the mini market next to it and they said they would let them know I was coming from out of town. When I said I called, they told me to take that up with the store and walked away. Absolutely horrible. Next time I'll drive further just to avoid this company. read more

Alphonso is the name of the new guy running the recycle center at Sierra Market. He took over on January 1st from the other company that employed the jerk that worked here. It's a whole new deal now as Alphonso is an extremely nice guy who is committed to making it a successful venture. He is only closed on Sunday and is open from 9AM to 5PM the rest of the week. Ignore any reviews that were made before 2019 !!! read more

Town Clean Recycle Center - Recycling Center Near Me - Colfax, California

The gentleman that attends to this business is always attentive and helpful. I especially appreciate having a location that is not "down the hill". Water is also provided to wash your hands afterwards, which is a nice touch. read more

I use this place for recycling glass, plastic bottles, and cans. They don't accept glass that doesn't have CA CRV printed on on the label. Also be sure you remove all caps from the plastic bottles. You can turn in the caps separate. I bring the bottle caps in a zip lock bag. You can cash in your receipt at the grocery store next door. read more

This recycling center is great! The gentleman who runs it is polite and efficient and pays fairly. He also keeps his surrounding area clean, which was really nice. Definitely a nicer location than a dump! read more

Horable service takes a long time, complains alot and shorted me over 70$. I called him on it and he said owner doesn't want me to go there, thati complain too much. Anyone wouldn't be happy knowing that they got shorted 70.48$. I am going to tell all my friends to go to Auburn and tell them my story. I feel i need to be talking to agriculture for recycle and make sure this doesn't happen to someone else. We pay our crv and olny get half of what we payed on taxes for the cans and bottles. This recycling bs is not fair to anyone. No stars for town clean recycle. read more

The guy that works here is as rude as it gets. I will never use him again. He has backwards thinking and is not up front, and will try to control you by holding your recycling till he is ready to help you while he is helping other customers on his lunch break. His unethical attack on me was totally inappropriate when he could have been upfront about his lunch break. But instead he yelled at me while helping someone else. There are other places that will take the recyclables that he won't and pay you for. read more

I went by in the pouring rain to drop off my cans. I had two bags and as I returned with the second bag the owner had two or three cans pulled out that were tall and didn't fit in my crusher, so they were stomped flat. He said he couldn't take them because the "regulations" didn't allow him to accept cans that had been ran over by the car. I said ok and noticed a Coors aluminum bottle that was flattened the same way so I said I guess you don't want this one either, which he said no it was fine. Confused, I asked why he could take that one but not the others, he then became a jerk and said if I was going to argue about it he didn't have to take my cans at all and I could just leave. He was the owner and could refuse service... I was in disbelief, as I was simply asking for clarification and said that "regulation" was stupid. He turned into a complete jerk and I had to dump all my cans in the back of my truck and leave. I checked, and there is NOTHING that says how you need to crush cans, only that if they're too dirty they can refuse those, These weren't dirty, just flat the long way. I'll take my cans elsewhere and I hope you do the same. If he has no cans at all, maybe they will get someone decent in there. read more
