Recycled Records

They have a HUGE selection of records, you gotta do some digging but now and then you come across a good find. The staff is friendly and their prices are great! I definitely recommend a trip to this store, it’s well worth it

If you are looking for a true Midtown experience, your journey will not be complete without a leisurely visit to Recycled Records. Go when you have lots of time to browse, because you can easily spend an hour just looking through one tiny part of their records if you are so inclined. The draw of this place is that you are looking for buried treasure, and you never know what you will find. This place is super relaxed and perfect for people who like to explore in a no pressure atmosphere. I find myself just sitting on the floor and carefully looking through records in their shelves because I would not want to accidentally miss a gem. I have never visited without taking home at least a couple fun (and cheap!!) records.

I wasn’t even looking for a record store but stumbled across this while killing a little time. What a great discovery. Found countless collectibles and bought a couple at very fair prices for good conditioned vinyl. Next problem was getting my buys back to Indy. A simple request and they packaged them up and I received them about a week later. Great place to spend a lot of nostalgic time for sure.
This will be a regular stopping point in future trips to Reno.

I visited here last year while I was in town on a job. I was excited to see that they had several stacks of unordered 45s, so I went digging. The selection was great. However, when I brought them to the front to buy, the clerk said he needed to sort and price them and that I should come back tomorrow because they were about to close. Ok…
Came back the next day and found that he’d googled each record and priced them based on the highest price it had sold for on ebay previously. What. A. Joke. Pass!

A vast selection of LP’s and 45’s with extremely fair prices, especially on all of the singles. Where else can you get 4 – 6 singles from bands like The Animals, Rolling Stones, and Pink Floyd for $ 2 total?

Found this while in town on business. Got the hit through Google. The store is expansive (compared to what I’m used to) and the organization is top-​notch. Couldn’t spend hours digging (and didn’t really have to). The staff were able to help me with what I was looking for, the prices were fair, I picked up 2 albums and 2 CDs. The staff was engaging, helpful, and friendly. This was a great experience. Well done.

The only thing that I go here for is to buy show tickets. The staff is always very friendly and seem to be having a good time doing what they do.
The store is filled with old CD’s, DVD’s, and records. Buying music on antiquated formats has very little appeal to me. I know that most people would disagree and that’s why I am glad that somewhere like this exist for them. It is certainly no Emoeba Records but it will do.
One thing that I found to be a little discriminating when walking around was that the «Rap» CD’s had a sign on the display which stated that there was no discs in the cases. The discs are kept behind the counter to prevent them from being stolen. Obviously everybody who reads that sign is going to think they are singling out one certain demographic as thieves.

I could spend hours here! Found amazing records to add to my collection too! I loved finding this gem! I am in from out of town & the employees were friendly & helpful! Even made local suggestions for where to go after! The browsing selection was amazing! Movies (dvd & blue ray), CDs & of course RECORDS!

I go to Lake Tahoe for vacation time in the summer and now make a trip over the hill to Recycled Records a regular part of the journey. I jumped back on the vinyl bandwagon a few years back (and glad I did) and that’s the only format I have purchased here, so I can’t comment on CD’s /​DVD’s, etc.
I like this store because the vinyl is very well organised. The more popular artists separated (with some art work or log on many of the plastic tabs), and the more obscure grouped together by letter. I find the selection very good, and a lot less picked over than what I find at Amoeba and other stores in the Bay Area.
The condition of the vinyl does vary so be sure to slide the record out of the sleeve before purchasing (although anyone purchasing used vinyl would be sure to do this I hope). Some of the items I checked out today looked pretty chewed up. They do guarantee against skips and scratches, but not surface noise.
Today I dropped off 5 — albums and got $ 17 in credit. Not bad. I grabbed 6 more and was out the door for $ 21. Pretty good. I found some good stuff, including a Ry Cooder live at the Great American Music Hall in 1976 for 8 $. Clean looking copy to, although I will take it home and give it a proper wash t before it goes on the TT.
All in all, this is a very good used Record Store. If your in Reno, check it out.

Wow. A diggers paradise. This was my first time in Reno, had a few hours to kill, so decided to seek out a record store, as I have been known to do in new places. Clerks were super friendly, I told them I had never been there before, and they gave me the quick tour, highlighting the more rare wax on the walls and the new arrivals in the back. So much good stuff, without the big city prices that you’d pay in LA or SF. Got a few OG pressings of some early Tom Waits, a few cherry James Brown LPs and a few other rare soul finds all at very reasonable prices. Also, the 45 bin in the back is chock full of good stuff and very reasonable at around $ 1 for most of the stuff in there. Folks were cool, staff was cool, and most importantly, they knew what they were talking about. Didn’t get any pretentiousness or bad attitudes, just music lovers helping other music lovers. My brother came away with a few rare pieces of vinyl as well, at very fair prices. I hope I have another reason to visit Reno in the future, as I want to go back here.

Really like this place. Went their for Record Store Day recently and despite the crowd, I thought they handled everything extremely well, all things considered. Was disappointed to only get two selections, but fully understood they had to for fairness reasons. I would give them five stars if they had a decent selection of new albums, but of course they are a used shop, so may be unrealistic on my part.
I do stop by now and then and peruse the vinyl section which has expanded a lot over the last couple of years. Plenty of choices and I always find a album or two to buy.
Friendly and fast service. I also enjoy the new location in Midtown. Perfect to stop by on a Saturday morning then grab breakfast nearby.

Love you guys but third time I’ve been here when you’re closed and you’re not suppose to be. A little more than frustrating.

Pros:
–best selection of 45s that I’ve seen in the area.
–pretty large section of cheapie vinyl (see cons as well) to go with your normal used fare.
–pricing is pretty fair, some WTF prices on old bootlegs which seem to be pointless these days.
Cons:
–depending on who is working yeah counter you either get great music knowledge or a bag of rocks
–the cheapie vinyl has added Xs to the cover art… do not like, but I know why they do it.
–no new releases except around RSD. this is a shame, especially for the new generation getting in to vinyl.

Cool

I feel like I was transported here in a time machine. Really cool record/​cd/​dvd store.

Great place I will revisit every time I come thru town. Tons of vintage vinyl and no crapy re-​issues.

I wasn’t sure if this place was going to have what I wanted, but they did, and they also had even more than that! Huge selection of Vinyls, 8 Tracks, Tapes and CDs! They have excellent prices and the staff is super nice and helpful! I will most certainly be going back to purchase more original records!
They accept all major credit cards and cash.

Checked out Recycled Records today and ended up getting 6 cd’s and 1 tape. This place is well organized and has a decent selection of each genre. I bought a movie soundtrack, pop, hip hop, seventies, rock, and sixties cd.
The staff was very helpful and looked through the records and cd selection to help me find a Led Zeppelin cd that I’ve been searching for.
The organization of this record store is interesting too, there’s a dollar section, genre sections, and then compilation/​discounted sections underneath. It looked like they had a decent amount of movies as well and they sell concert tickets.
I was very happy with the quality of what I bought, all the cd’s and tapes were in good condition, since they keep the copies are kept at the front and only the cases are out.

Great new location in the newly dubbed «Midtown» section of South Virginia street.
And it’s virtually across the street from the revamped and relocated Dreamer’s!
Dollar bin still remains a goldmine for hole fillers in your collection and the new spot is a bit larger than the old. Same quirky staff as always. Always ready to talk tunes and help you find whatever you’re looking for, with a healthy dose of hilarious sarcasm.

This is definitely an overlooked review on my part. Since I bought a turntable last summer, we have been coming here pretty regularly to add to our LP collection and to trade in old CDs and DVDs to support our habit. We LOVE it here! They have managed to achieve that perfect business atmosphere that makes you just want to hang out as well as spend money. We rarely have any particular record in mind when we arrive; we just feel like digging in the crates and maybe finding something interesting. Recycled Records has enough inventory, and a good enough rotation of stock, that you can be a regular customer here and always find something new. Even Kid loves coming to the record store, and she always gets a prize from the counter for being good.
The guys who work here are a bit, um, sharp, so a thin-​skinned person might find his or herself a little overwhelmed, but they also know their shit, and if you ask them for help, they will happily give it. They are also quite generous with their trade-​in policy, assuming, of course, you don’t bring them crap. (And they will let you know if you bring them crap.)
I give Recycled Records my highest recommendation, and I am glad to give them my continued business.
