RePlanet Recycling

Friendly helpful guys, will come here again

I went to the location at Safeway at Branham and Ross, which was supposed to be open at 9 am, and they were closed. 45 minutes later. the guy shows up, sees that I have a couple pieces of glass, and the first thing out of his mouth is «i’m full, I probably can’t take glass today, No apology for being late. When I said the other guy took it if I get there before it opens, the guy says «I can talk to my boss or I can talk to the police.» He had a really bad attitude and started muttering to himself, using the f-​word at least 6 times. He also said the only reason he’s doing this crappy job is so he can have a place to live. Excuse me, but 9 oclock means 9 oclock. The next time I went to this location no one showed up at all, At the Lunardi’s location, the person was over an hour late or didn’t show up at all. When I get there in time for them to be open at 9:30, I am entitled to have them be there, and have my stuff ON THE SCALE, by that time. Not being a man, I can’t just pee in the nearby shrubbery which they obviously expect us to do if they don’t feel like being punctual that day. I don’t know why they got rid of Jorge, Carlos and the other employees who knew what the hell they were doing (and knew how to tell time), but please, try to get some employees who don’t suck! And maybe your company will stop sucking, too!

The people who run this place are always so nice. Forget his name but there’s a Filipino man that’s always so helpful and is always so helpful. I’d suggest to count your bottles instead of using their machine. It’s a lot faster.

Lucky’s one is closed. Came here instead. I do love the guys that are here. They are funny and if it is slow, they will help you sort your cans. I love this place because it is always open! For a majority of my life, I would go to the Lucky’s one by Yuri’s, but they have days off and I can never remember when. I love this plae. But do come early because so does everyone else!

Relatively easy process. There were 3 people ahead of me and the wait was about 15 minutes. The security guard for the recycling center was extremely helpful. She was regulating the line and helped bring out the plastic bins for sorting.
They print out a receipt for you and pay you cash on the spot. You can get 25−50% more if you go to a place that pays you per bottle or can. For the convenience, this place is my goto for CRV recycling.
Located pretty close to Wendy’s and Walgreens.

My recycling tubs in the backyard has been accumulating cans & bottles over the past few years and i haven’t had the chance to sort, bag and take them to the recycling center until this past weekend. At first I was skeptical because i’ve never taken anything to the recycling center before so I did my Unilocal and online research making sure I got down the «must-do’s» before I take them in.
I dumped all my plastics in a large bag then read online that certain types of plastics had to be separated (PETE, HDPE, etc.) I had no idea how that worked so i figured i’ll just toss all the plastics in one bag and if i sorted it wrong then hopefully they’ll be nice enough to show me how to properly sort it there. Make sure glass is separated into clears, greens, and browns. Of course aluminum cans go in their own bags. Unfortunately half of my stash didn’t make it to the recycling center YET. My trunk was way to small and I was too lazy to do a second round.
The website is kinda misleading because it says «Safeway #987» and has Safeway’s address listed but it really isn’t located at the Safeway. Its more so located on the other side of the plaza in between Wendy’s, Walgreens and Jiffy Lube.
There was 3 people working. I saw they only had aluminum cans in their truck so I asked them (just to make sure) if they recycled plastics and bottles and they said yes. I told him it was my first time and that I wasn’t sure if I sorted my plastics correctly and he assured me that it was okay and he’ll sort through it for me. One of the guys helped my take all the bags out of my trunk, dumped them in the bins for me and handed them off to be weighed. The process was very quick and easy.
