Sorting is self service, so it's a good idea to separate your cans from your bottles ahead of time for a quicker visit. The weigh in process is very quick and easy. You can also be assured that they have their Weighmaster Certificate for accurate measurements.

It's still right behind Del Taco in the parking lot though as someone previously mentioned. I'm posting pictures so people know and can find this yelp review to avoid wasting time and gas. I'm sure they are great people, but have no notice of this. They need to update all this online and hopefully this gives them their own "SOS" message to get to it!! Quite literally.

Recycling and scrap metal is a dirty job, all walks of life come in looking haggard and unkempt, dirt from head to toe and every employee from scale to the yard to cashier treat all with the same smile and stellar customer service. I have used other smaller recycling businesses and have been made to feel uncomfortable and burdensome at times, but not at Unlimited. I have watched the homeless, the scrap business man, and the family man trying to make ends meet be invited to sit down and enjoy tacos as they celebrate a staff birthday. If you have not paid a visit to Unlimited Recycling you should. You will notice the difference and be pleasantly surprised.

We brought a whole box (x-large Costco box) of crushed aluminum cans (all compressed) and we got…read morepaid $20. The workers do not show you the weight, throw the aluminum cans immediately into a larger batch (not mine) after weighing it (thus I'm not able to verify the weight), and then speak among themselves. They do it all behind an orange line (no reason at all). Would NOT recommend. I'll be filing a complaint and see what results and then possibly suspend their license.

Major item was an old steel vault it was a couple hundred pounds, I was tired of tripping over it was time For it to go.Western scrap is a gigantic operation. I was directed by Manuel to weigh on the scale, then go to the back part of the yard and dump my steel I then proceeded back to the scale and weighed again. Cans and plastic and aluminum were weighed by Miguel you I was done. Then i went to see Christina who's behind the iron cage, and has the cash she's my favorite . We're lucky to have western scrap fairly close to take care of all our recyclables Thanks to Christiana Mario and Manuel.
