The California Refund Value (CRV) program was designed to encourage recycling by providing a cash refund value for all materials that are returned to recycling center such as ours. An official CRV message is on many beverage containers. Martin Recycling Center is a California redemption center certified by the state of California.
It's important to properly dispose of your old appliances because they contain materials that are hazardous to the Earth and human health. Keeps harmful chemicals such as CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs and mercury out of the landfill and atmosphere. Recycling existing materials to make products uses less energy than manufacturing new products from virgin materials.
Electronics waste or "E-waste" is the outdated and obsolete electronics that you no longer want, and it's a waste stream that's growing fast. Many electronics, especially TVs and computers, contain toxic materials such as lead, cadmium and mercury. Reusing and recycling electronics keeps these toxic materials out of our landfills and also recovers valuable resources.
Recycling your scrap metal is important to our economy and environment. Did you know that in 2009, the United States recycled 58 million metric tons of metal? Or that over 600 steel or aluminum cans are recycled every second? A lot of that recycled metal went into the manufacture of new products and not in our landfills.

This place does not deserve even one star. CHEAT! CHEAT! CHEAT!
We used 2 different types of scales at home to weigh plastics bottles and aluminum cans. We got there before they were closed. My husband did not read about pounds and prices before signing the sheet, just got cash after correcting their calculation. I noticed the money we got quite a bit less than our calculation based on the weight we weighed at home. I walked back telling that guy that the weight was so much lighter than we weighed at home. The guy (with accent) became furious immediately screaming at us, said his scale was accurate

Drop off experience was generally good. Line went quick. Easy to drop off and weigh Not happy with rate though. Math isn't great. Subtracted 20 lb for containers instead of 18 lbs so lost out on about $.25 per lb of plastics. Not going to fight about i t. As nice as it is to have a recycling place in gilroy and how important recycling is, it's a disappointment. Just go in knowing, you likely won't get crv.

Martins is probably the only recycling center currently operating in Gilroy so there is always a line to get in. Today was relatively 'fast' as my total time from when I got in line to the time I drove off was 43 minutes. The main thing I dislike here is that I don't get a printout or any indication of HOW they arrive at the total cash I receive. EVERYWHERE else I've ever taken recycling has given me a slip indicating the weight of each category (aluminum, #1 plastic, and glass) along with the price per pound for each. Without this probably (hopefully) not but they could be short changing a person

I have my mom who lives in San Martin and I was looking to find a company to help me to remove bunch of old furniture and other stuff from her garage. I had few estimate which the one from Martin Recycling was much lower than others. They did the job in less than 2 hours. They did a great job, very professional. Thanks
