I went there to to Recycle a Aluminium rim. I waited 10 minutes no one would help me. They drove by on fork lifts and wouldn’t Help. Another issue is I put rim on scale and it weighed at 23 pounds. I got frustrated and left and went to to AIM recycling and they weighed the rim at 26 pounds. Needless to say I won’t be going back here again.

It was my first time and i expected a transparent system, where i can see each item being counted and shown the refund amount, like its done where i cam from. but i came with over ten bags full. and we were asked to wait outside and then this guy comes out with $44. i do not believe that the refund was that little for the number of items we brought, we needed two cars to bring them. I think it was worth a little more. lesson learned.

If you take the time to plan your day for a return on scrap metal or PETTY" $0.05 Pop cans and $0.10 bottles you'll be more than glad that you've done your part for environmental protection. People don't understand that it's not the short term gain for recycling products. You are charged $0.10 per can $0.20 per bottle when you purchase these products. We are lucky that we have a program in place to recuperate some costs (50%). Stop whining

This is a very dishonest recycling depot, I used it for a year, my wife & I knew they were ripping us, but you need evidence.Well we did a three trip evidence trip we had two weddings !We decided to use Coors light cans twice 8 x 38 = 288288 x 5 cents = $14.40 gave us first time 185 second time 154That is very dishonest in my book.Ripped us for $6.70 another $ 5.15 .The third time they got us for $8.60 I don’t recommend taking your cans & bottles here. I can’t stand a thief or a liarThese folks stole from me, now I give them to charity you say why three times I wanted to catch the the guy , different guys the first two times , the third time same as the first. Now I know.

They were helpful and friendly.There's a large cart, available to load your cans and bottles in, when you arrive and they also take batteries. Only problem was a long wait.

Slim shady didn't liked the way I parked and made me adjust, strike one. took my bottles and took his good ole time counting. Came back with my slip and wouldn't give me until I grabbed a number, was the only one there. Won't be back

I've gone to this recycling centre approximately 6 times. I always go when I have four bags full of cans and bottles because that's what will fit in my car. Typically we get $11. The last time we went when we looked at the slip the amount of bottles didn't add up to the amount they said they were going to pay us. The cashier fixed it and we ended up getting $16. My boyfriend was frustrated with this so we've decided to go to a different recycling centre. We've since gone to two other recycling centres multiple times. And we're still only going with 4 bags but now we get between $17 to $20. That is a significant difference and it really bothers me at this company is scamming people out of such a large sum.
