Went here and met the nicest employee Manny who helped me out with a couple of things, most importantly he made me confident in the recycling ♻️ and payout process, because I was falling under the impression it was better to count you recyclables (up to the individual daily limits) rather than to weigh them but after a quick comparison it was the other way around. Thanks for taking the time to make me a confident recycling center customer. 5 stars returned with the rest of my recycling the same week. Will be back.

This is the place to recycle your items in Contract Costa county.Bring gloves and perhaps wear spare clothes. This place is a recycling center after all so it is not the cleanest place, but acceptable given the circumstances.Their rates are fair and competitive compared to other places.

It was crowded, but they are very quick in moving everyone through the lines.

Mostly bottles and cans traffic here but they also take other stuff. You can sometimes find old computers here too but you have to ask at the front window to look at them.

First time trying to recycle here 8/7/23.Firstly, I didn't know what is what and most of the staff spoke only Spanish. I went to 1 recycling center before, so I know that I need to sort out the cans, plastics, and glasses. What I didn't realize until I got to this center was that the plastics need to have CA-CRV on it, even if it's recycle number is the SAME as the other bottles. I have a small plastic water bottle that they didn't take because there was no CA-CRV. I also learned that there are some that are HI-CRV and ME-CRV's that are in my collection, but not accepted.Either way, I got some money (and they're new quarters!!) for the items I have been storing at home due to the Pandemic. The place has enough parking on the street, but the parking INSIDE the center is very hard to navigate out. It feels like a 1 way street with so many cars coming and going. What you need is patience, and some alcohol sanitizers because you'll be using lots of their trash cans to sort out your materials.

i've been coming here since i was a kid with my parents and overall this place was always nice and quick and people weren't quiet rude. But today my little brother (note he's only 12) and i went to go and recycle some cans and so far everything was going smoothly but turns out we had to separate some plastic and cans no biggie. So my brother and i separate them and as we get the finale ones left in the bag i toldmy brother to just dump them out in the trash can thing and the lady who's helping us some short bitter señora is standing and waiting for us and my brother drops some cans and the lady literally gives him the dirtiest fucking stare as i'm standing right in front of her i was like what the heck?? and he picked them up of course but even my little brother noticed she gave him the meanest glare and i had half a mind to tell her what her problem was but i just wanted to get the fuck out of there. in conclusion the staff here are shitty and all that because of one experience with one bitter lady. Will not be coming again and going someplace else from now on.

Took a couple of really old PCs, a broken microwave and a bunch of other e-waste that were cluttering up the garage to this place. I was expecting some sort of fee for the microwave but there was none. It was a really easy process, staff was friendly, I was there when they opened at 8am and I was out of there in 10 minutes. If you have e-waste cluttering up your garage, just take it there and dispose of it correctly.

Awesome place to take the mountains of cardboard that pile up. They are friendly there, but it is self-service. Bring the kids. Make it an event.

It's been a long time since I've been here, I honestly forgot this place existed. I stopped going here years ago because of how poorly the line management was done - you had to drive around the block, come in the back, people were cutting in here and there, sometimes there was no where to put your car - it was a complete mess.Doesn't appear they do that anymore. I came here the other morning, got in and out pretty quick. So quick in fact I'm afraid to leave a good review because I don't want people to find out how quick it was and start bombarding this place again.I assume there are the bad times to come here when it is super crowded but man, I've never had an easier time getting in and out and paid at a recycling place than I did the other day. Dumped my cans, guy showed me the total on the digital register - printed out my thing and boom boom, I was getting paid and out of there. Good job Concord Recycling.

This is a great place to recycle your water bottles, glass bottles and aluminum soda cans for some extra cash. I have went here 3 times and it was super fast! If you have a huge amount of recyclables they will do it by weight instead of count. I come here about every 4 months and got more than 10$ of cash back. This is a great place and great service . The only thing I did not like about this is the parking lot is quite narrow and they do not have many spots. I had to park outside on their busy hours. I recommend coming here on weekdays since weekends are really packed.

A super quick and easy experience! I had a few small appliances sitting in my garage that I needed to recycle. I was willing to pay as I want to ensure they're properly disposed of. I just came to the Concord Recycling Center as it was the only business that was clear to me that took appliances and I a nicely greeted by the gentleman working here. I inquired if I could bring my appliances (two air dryers and a microwave) and was told I could. I was offered help to get the items from my car, which I politely declined as I didn't want to take up their time, but it was so appreciated. I never get offered any help when dealing with heavy things, so the offer really means a lot. I went to drop them off at their designated spot and didn't have to pay a dime! I'm so happy that this recycling center exists and I will be sure to share with neighbors to come here. It's so important to dispose of electronics properly.

If you go around 9am during the week day it's pretty fast. Overall no complaints

Great to have somewhere to recycle. People are friendly and helpful. Parking is a bit tight.

Things went pretty smoothly getting my recycling done. Parking was a hassle there was alot of people there. But over all it seemed to work out ok.... the only other thing is the guy seemed to weigh my stuff whenever I had my back turned which was weird, but what can you do. Also the line to get ur check was extremely long for what seems like a simple put it in the computer and print out the check sorta deal, but they actually opened a second window probably cause it was close to closing time and the employees wanted to get outta there asap. Anyways they still get 4 stars cause it got done, I got paid, and stuff got recycled. So hopefully it can be reused in the future on what idk but let's try to look on the bright side lol. This place works I have gone here many times for my home recycling and for work recycling and always just works sometimes there is a wait sometimes there isn't thats I guess just the way it goes. Recommend this place because it has never failed me where other recycling centers that have so to anyone reading my ramble this is a good place to go cause it just works and is straight forward. Thanks for reading my review
