Started bringing our machine shop scrap here a few months ago. Started out OK and was getting paid the average price. Just went last week and got ripped off. This time they gave 14cents as opposed to market rate of 35cents. Yes, times are tough with metal prices, but other places will pay more than double the 14cents. Forget it. It’s worth driving to Oakland to get the 35cents.

If you have copper or wire do not think about going to this place. They will rip you off!!! I took my wire and copper today and all they wanted to give me was 50.00 bucks when they well knew it was worth more. I asked to take my recycle back and when they did the guy in charge told the other man that weights everything to next time «mix everything right away so thy can’t take it back!!! After that I went to my regular place in and got 280.00 $ I give 1 start only because it doesn’t let me not give any!!!

Quick and easy. Been to many places that make you take off the caps and this place does not. Since most of the plastic content is in the caps, I thank you.

The ladies that work at the front are nice enough but the workers outside and management are extremely rude.

The guys here are super nice-​and really helpful. This was the first time I have recycled anywhere, but I looked around and this place offered the most money per pound for aluminum ($ 1.75) and plastic was $ 1.09/lbs. Plus it’s super close to my house. Found our spot to recycle!

Great company, outstanding customer service and extremely competitive rates compared to others. It doesn’t get any better than that. I highly recommend taking this business into consideration if you’re looking into recycling. Hands down best thee best in the Contra Costa Area!

The reason Im giving this place 5 stars is for their outstanding customer service. The owner, Ken opened this place over 40 years ago and they are still going strong today. They always have competitive rates on CRV recycling, which is what I usually come here for. They give you 1.75 per pound on aluminum cans, which is a pretty decent price in my opinion. I’ve been here on several different occoasions but have yet to have a bad experience, which is why I keep coming back!

This place is probably the best place to do recycling in the contra costa area! I didn’t know that these guys have been open for more than 40 years! This is really the only place I do recycling in the Oakley/​Antioch area.

I’m a mega-​recycler, and I’ve tried every place in town (unfortunately, most are not listed on Unilocal). TOMRA Pacific locations make you insert every bottle into a machine which is accurate but time consuming (as many bottles get rejected). NexCycle shacks are painfully slow, making you take off every bottle cap, and they definitely pay the least. Delta Scrap, by comparison, is VERY fast, you don’t have to remove caps, they’re not as concerned about liquid (as long as it’s minimal), and they pay about DOUBLE what I’ve been getting per bucket at other places. It’s out of my way, but still very worth it!

They recycle your metals, plastics, and glass. Except iron, they take everything I have brought. Be prepared to haul your containers and bags away, since you must transfer all your contents into their baskets and buckets. Any payout over $ 25 requires they issue a check, which is ok. The bank they use is local, which I like. That bank has added 2 more branches near by, so it’s not a huge hassle, but cash would of course be easier.
The thing that bugs me the most about this place is the lack of information. Them not having any garbage cans was annoying to find out. They changed their hours and only updated the sign on the open gate. The one I didn’t see driving in. That one. Who closes at 3:20pm on a Saturday? They normaily close at 4:20 I guess, but the sign at the customer area still shows 4:30/3:30.
I’m still annoyed by this place. Since I’ve learned how they do business, and since they are the closest to me, I guess I’ll be back. I probably would go elsewhere if I had a more feasible choice.
