I have been looking around in East County for a regular recycling place and my first visit here was the best so far. A friendly employee came and helped me unload and rolled it inside for me. There the sorting began (no presorting necessary!) and then I collected my cash. Parking lot flow was easy (not always the case) and they have a coupon online for better rate on cans. I will be back!

Great service! Fast and efficient. They meet you at your vehicle with a bin and help grab & load your recyclables inside. They then wheel it inside and quickly sort thru your items weighing them & hand you a receipt. You take that receipt and hand over to cashier for your $$. Simple as that quick and painless! :) ***tip*** they honor other competitors coupons and have one of their own on their website for aluminum cans. Doesn’t need to be printed out as well & can be shown on a mobile device :)

I was new to recycling when I went so I only had Unilocal reviews to go by. The guys DID NOT come out to unload for me, as everyone else said they do. I asked another patron and they said to grab a bin and unload into that then wheel it into the building and wait in line. So we did that, and when we got inside and looked confused, someone came up and started helping us — they sorted all our items but most things were not worth money. Only CRV bottles and cans. All the jars and other plastic we brought were worth no cash (they do recycle it for you, just do not pay you). A whole SUV filled with stuff came down to only $ 24 worth of value and a lot of stuff I should have left in the recycle bin at home. But it was my first time and I had no idea what I was doing — so live and learn.

Very fine service.
Gilbert was very helpful.
I will be back
Thank You

The particular gentleman who came out to help out the bf and I made the otherwise mundane experience of recycling quite enjoyable. He greeted us upon our arrival and wheeled out a giant bin to collect our items. After cracking a joke or two about the very minuscule amount of bottles and paper we brought (maybe this place is more accustomed to larger loads), he threw everything in the bin and wheeled it into the facility. We followed close behind and watched some other employees further sort through our items. I was handed a piece of paper and proceeded to the cashier. Our total cashout came to a grand total of $ 4.04. Looks like I’m buying dinner tonight! ;)
Thanks All Ways Recycling!

Will ALL WAYS come here to recycle. What a great place, fast, customer friendly and good prices. All you have to do is recycle, drive up and they will come to you ready to take your stuff, give you back a receipt and get paid. How easy is that.

The best recycling place for someone who hates getting dirty, like I do. As I pull in to park, the guys are already on their way out with a dumpster cart for my recycling. They got it out of my car, brought it inside, sorted it all, and handed me my receipt for cash without me having to do a thing. I’ll definitely keep on recycling as long as this place stays open.

First and foremost… A bunch of hotttt guys work here. Cute… tattooed…and polite young men (that are, obv, employed): «Hello, my name is Paige, I am single…» (…too much?)
Ok. Now that I got that out of the way… This place is coo:
PROS:
–My mom found a coupon in the El Cajon penny saver that gets you $ 2.00/lb for cans.
(The place I normally go to has a coupon for $ 1.90/lb [American Recycling]…and honestly had I known how much further we had to drive to this place, I would have stuck with the $ 1.90. Just sayin. But $ 2.00…thats fun!)
–They grab all your recycling, dump it into a bin, haul it in and sort it for you. How nice!
(Although…I actually kinda like sorting my recycling. Idk why… call me crazy)
–Im pretty sure they pay you for damn near errything… They even gave us credit for our cardboard beer boxes overflowing with bottles and cans.
(American Recycling doesnt… at least not when I go)
–All the guys that we dealt with were super polite. They even gave us props for the large patron bottle we were recycling.
(We know, we know… We are so cool!)
CONS:
–This place is in B.F.E…My mom even lives in El Cajon and it still took us
. to get there.
–Dirty. Grimey. Dirty. Pretty standard recycling center.
(They do have a sink with soap and towels to wash off at though)
–Kinda confusing. I mean, I have been to plenty of recycling centers in my day and I was kinda like «Huh?» but in the end the crazy old lady in the tied shirt and cowboy boots was there to always point us in the right direction.
Overall…if you can find a coupon and/​or are in the neighborhood, check it out!
