The sign clearly says they take cardboard; in fact it's the first item listed, yet when I went with a couple large bunches of cardboard I was turned away and told they wouldn't take it. I even tried calling twice before I went down to verify, but no one answered. And I saw a bunch of large bunches of cardboard already bundled together, but still they would not take mine. If it's listed first on your sign, it should be accepted.

The reason they didn't get a 5 star, is because.I can pick up the containers they have to use. The containers need rolling coaster's. Especially for weak women, senior's . GOD BLESS. THANK U .

Never too crowded when I go. I don't pay much attention to the price rates, just a good place to do some recycling. Noticed there's lots of bees though, so bee warned 🐝

Friendly people, reminds me a lot of the recycling center in Santa Ana that i went to when I lived in Orange County. I got my money worth here more than any other recycling place In Hemet. Totally not a big deal in grabbing your own bins and sorting out your own cans. I've always done it..... since a child.... till now...... one of the staff happened to be kind and give me a hand which I appreciated the act of kindness. so not sure why people are complaining over something not worth giving the headache.
Personally whether or not it's their job to do I find it rude to have them do it

I was just at this location. Their sign says one thing's their employees say another. Sign clearly indicates that they pay for stainless steel metal products. Employees say that they do not buy metal. RIP OFF!! Low cash out on aluminum as well!!

I have been here multiple times and the one thing I remember is every time I have gone here there is one guy, a mexican guy there, he might be the manager, has a real chip on his shoulder, he is disrespectful and does not know how to talk to the public. I went there today and pulled in asked if they are still taking cans and bottles being allot of recycling centers are only accepting metals and other recyclables, and with an attitude looked at me and pointed to an area where I was supposed to know I should be parking with a real attitude, that particular attitude that I remember. I just turned

If you want to lose your money go here. I weighed my cans on two scales that I know to be accurate. When I was weighed in it was 2 lbs less. The $$ per puns at the time was $1.63. So I lost over $3 for around 16 lbs. their was at least 20 people there recycling with much more then I that day. A lot of money is being stolen by them not having proper scales. The scale they use isn't designed to accurately weigh light loads.

Came here to show my boy a little bit about recycling. I loved that he was able to help me sort out and being the ticket up and sign for it. He was a little nervous but was happy in the end to collect his money!

Go anywhere else. These guys are trash (in the right line of work I guess). There are like 5 dudes back there that all look like they wanna fight or something. Thieves as well, watch your weights. This dudes move a line fast but also skim every bin.

We ended up coming to Menlo recycling because we showed up to find that the recycling place on Esplanade in San Jacinto is no longer excepting CRV for bottles, plastics, and aluminum. Menlo recycling is only about a mile away.
Lots of space for cars to pull in, and plenty of baskets available to unload recyclables. Line moved pretty quickly. Not sure how the prices are in relation to other places.

Called this morning and spoke with Edwin told me they no longer take cash for cardboard, which I knew was a lie because I've gone and gotten money for cardboard. So I then asked Edwin oh how long has it been since you haven't been giving cash for cardboard. He says oh my boss only gives cash for cardboard sometimes. So if they don't give you can for recycling they lie. Its a $1.00 a pound. They do since shady things here at this recycling center. Zero stars if I could give them

I called in very respectfully and was hung up on very disrespectfully I have read the other reviews afterwards which really disgusted me one individual said he will call the Better Business Bureaufor a company like this it would really not have too much of an effect but what would have an effect is calling the EPA and the local code enforcement

NO STARS!!!

The WORST recycling center I have ever visited! So dirty, trash everywhere. You're actually told to step past safety line in warehouse & get your own baskets because they can't be bothered to pull them out after emptied into larger receptacles. 1 older gentlemen is the only one who really works picking up the slack of the Younger guys on cell phones & joking amongst themselves.

No designated cashier, so after waiting in long line to weigh recycles you're left at the mercy of those young jerky guys for one of them to make their way to register.

If it was possible to not give a star I would. this place has to be crooked. Im not only writing this I also contacted the BBB. The staff is rude and they do not properly reimburse for the amount of recycables you take in.

This place does not deserve a star at all. The staff was so rude when I had pull their plastic bin outside to load my glass since it was heavy. This guy was so rude telling me no and ignoring me pretending I wasn't there. I had inform him that I needed to come back to get two more bags and I just needed that one plastic for my heavy glass that was falling apart also. He said for me to pull inside and I refused since I have to come back anyways and knowing that the place is small there is no way of getting out but to wait for the others to finish. We had like 8 bags that day in which 7 of them
