TKO Recycling

Wow! Loved this place! The Guy did a great fast job, I was done very fast and in no time had some cash) Highly recommend this place! Great customer service!

I came here because it was the only recycling place open on Sunday that I can find. The person helping me was pretty nice.
I personally would take your cans somewhere else less shady though.
Here’s the deal they had two trashcan set up one smaller than the other. They had two scales the bigger trashcan was on another scale where you cannot see the front face they actually had a jury rigged screen guard blocking The screen so you could not see the readout. On the receipt the smaller can which was a smaller diameter but the same height as the bigger trashcan showed a readout of 10lbs whereas the larger trashcan that could hold more cans showed a readout of 6lbs. I didn’t make a big deal because honestly what would be the point with arguing with people shaving Weight for a few dollars but honestly screw these guys. At the end of the day they probably got me for 20 bucks or so but the way I look at it I payed 20 bucks to know to never to go there again.

In Short this company is ran, owned and operated by Thiefs. Turned in Steel and they labeled it Tin. 1,100 pounds of Garage Door Springs. Yes if you read this im the hard working American in the Wraped F-​250. You my friend are a pathetic thieving lying piece of garbage. I hope one day you will stand before the man and pay for your sins. You make me sick.

I turned in a 300lb server rack. Not being smart about it was my first mistake. They labeled it as Tin and I got a whole $ 6.25.
After asking people about it, there is a general consensus that they screwed me.
Moral of the story: Know what you are recycling and how much it is worth before you do business with this place. They are in it for the metal. You are just the person bringing the metal to them. They don’t care about labeling the metal correctly or paying you what it’s worth.
Recycler beware.

9am Monday morning, no long lines. Just a two minute wait while I waited for another customer to finish up.
Brought in plastic and aluminum cans, about three 50 galllon trash cans (pictured) Polite guy weighing everything knows his plastic so be sure to exclude your non-​CRV plastics to speed up your visit.
Asphalt is a wet, sticky old keg beer smelling disaster =minus 1 star (nature of the business).
As far as the rate they are paying… I could care less about a few cents difference per pound. last time I went to seek out the higher price/​# (planet recycle or something like that), they ended up being closed. so I probably burned 2 bucks in gas just to wind up at the closer TKO recycler.
Got $ 26 and change today! Attendant behind glass in the office hands me 3 crisp bills! Hooked up the weighing guy with a couple of bucks. Think Dirty Jobs, someone’s gotta do it!

I’m gonna keep this one as short and sweet… as I can. Pun? I read the reviews for the other reviews for this place in the past and didn’t try it because of them. I normally go to a little place in the parking lot of Costco on White Rock but I have finally had enough. I’ll explain why in a later review of them. In short I couldn’t get paid for my recyclables there yesterday because they ran out of money. Or so they say. So I looked this place up and decided to go give it a shot for myself. I found it to be a little chaotic at first but as I walked into the belly of the beast I saw a different light. The guys seemed pretty well mannered and I did find the system here to be very efficient. They have one guy filling cans and calling out the weights and the other guy types them in and prints out a voucher and you take a short walk to an office to get your cash. I do plan on using them in the future because they do have a good system over all and I found it to be as pleasant as it could be given what it is.
For that reason I’m not going to say on here why I didn’t give them five stars but I will however tell you I do concur with a comment James M. made about them pouring your cans in with others. But now that I know that it’s really easy to ask them to weigh your cans alone. I’m sure they wouldn’t argue but you have to speak up if you don’t like it. The other thing I will say is I suggest jotting down your own weights or even easier taking pictures as they go. Then they can’t dispute anything if you feel they called out the wrong weight or typed it in wrong. I will say it didn’t happen to me but I did see it happen with my own eyes and I spoke up. Won’t say if they did anything about it or not but I’ve given you the tools to get what you need out of the experience. It’s your decision to use them or not. Overall I found it to be a cool place and the manager or owner was there checking up on things and was thankful when I made a positive comment on his place of business. I will be a repeat costumer for years to come. Just stay on your toes when I roll in guys. I’m watching you. Ha
P. S. Do yourself and everyone a favor and separate your plastics, glass, and aluminum before you get there. If it doesn’t say CA Cash Refund or CRV Value it needs to go in a different bin than your money makers.

This is about the yard they have in Roseville. I suggest you don’t go there unless you want to deal with unprofessional, and getto/​rude staff. The women in the office does not know what customer service is. I’ll never go there again and give them my business. I suggest you don’t either.

Their computer was having an issue while I was there and I was shorted 12+ pounds of aluminum cans (approximately $ 22). I called attention to there only being 3 weight entries on the receipt, instead of the 4 weights that should have been entered. No one would listen to my questioning. They pour the cans into a bin with other cans, so you cannot dispute their receipt. I will never go to this recycling place again and strongly suggest that you look elsewhere for your recycling needs.

Well I wished I had the same experience as the last reviews. The guy that weighed the cans my son brought was bent drinking in front of us. The smell of booze was strong at 11am. I would never go there again.

Very clean and organized. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Much nicer then the other recycling centers I have been to.

These guys are the best. They help you unload and get you in and out fast. Bottles and cans or other metals and you don’t have to wait forever to unload. The staff was very friendly.
