Zarc Recycling

Well organized!
A short wait to get in. Once in, they process us very rapidly.
Friendly and business like.
This was our 4 time here.

Friendly staff that assist you in this easy process to recycle your cans, bottles etc. Parking is a limited with a few spaces but once you get in, there are a lot of garbage cans that you can use to load up your cans, plastic and even glass bottles to recycle. Overall everyone is nice and cooperative.

Very friendly staff working and keeping facilities very organized and clean. Access is controlled and only allows cars that can accommodate the limited parking lot. 2 lines available once you ready to get weighed in. Make sure you have your ID available as they require it for processing. It's better to have your cans and plastic organized and separated so you are not holding up other people who are ready to go.
Once you are weighed in, you will receive a receipt with itemized list of your items and amounts. You then take that receipt and go to window counter w your ID and get cash on the spot. $67 for me today. Not bad at all!

Don't people recycle anymore?

Why are these places going out of business?

It took forever to find a recycling center and this one was a drive through with a very long wait. It took me 45 minutes to try and save the environment, and that's just to get a parking space!

It was another half an hour wait in their long line just to recycle my water bottles and get $10.

If it weren't for the environment, this would not be worth it.

They should open up more centers!

There are always a line of cars. Always busy, but the staff definitely try to keep the traffic flowing. I usually take scrap metal that I can find and take there when I have some spare time. If you have a "Handicap" placard you can actually come up to the front of the line and the staff will wave you in because the lot has one spot designated for "handicap" placards.

I believe they are allow 8-9 cars in the lot at a time. They use to enforce wearing the mask especially when the pandemic was going on. But once California has lifted the restrictions, masks are not necessary for the customer. Though the staff are all wearing theirs.

If it's your first time coming here to recycle. They have plastic bins to put your recyclables and if you have metal they have carts to put them on to roll over to the scale. And show them your Driver's License or California ID so they can add you into their system. Once you are done weighing all the materials, walk over to the window and give them your ID. They will have a print out of the weights and pay you out the amount. Pretty smooth operations.

Very quick, efficient and pleasant.
I was in and out within 10 minutes.
Recommend Zara recycling.

Arrived at 10:18 am on Saturday morning, there were a bunch of people filling the buckets already. I only had one bucket, and luckily the guy in front of me was still filling up his buckets so he let me went first. The staff asked for my ID, weight my bucket, I head to the cashier office which was a few steps away, and I got paid! The whole process was under 5 mins. The operation was so efficient!

Keep in mind that they do parking control here, meaning they only allow a number of cars going in to the parking lot.

Excellent place to recycle. When you get in, park in a spot, grab a bin and fill it up by type. Pull the bin to your perspective line. It's fully self service. Guys are friendly and will help if you ask. Once your bin has been weighed they tell you to go to the window and basically get paid. It is best to separate and arrange your recycle before going to make it easier for you to load.

For the location I will give them the stars, customer service zero, rude ass workers especially the person weighing the matirials... signs say 1 price they give something different. I probably won't come back here I will try the sf sercostas... just further away... but might get better price for my scrap!

zarc is a typical metal recycling place. The employees are very helpful and very nice guys too. They could not have been more helpful! They would not let me pick up anything heavy and they did it all for me so i wouldnt get my dress dirty, thank you so much guys! I felt VERY WELCOMED at zarc and will continue to recycle my scrap metals here, some of the guys even complimented me on how i looked! So nice of you all! I will definitely be back!
