Republic Services Boise Recycling

“Very nice, well organized facility. Staff were friendly and attentive (2 guys at the warehouse area), especially a very nice young man named Brandon. It was my first time bringing items to this facility and Brandon did a most professional and excellent job, patiently explaining to me exactly how everything works, what gets paid for and what doesn't, some Covid updates and how I can use the car-scale system and everything. He walked with me and showed me exactly where everything goes. He was friendly, clear and very thorough. thanks! I will definitely be back! :-)”

“We love this place. The employees are quite helpful doing a dirty job. Seems they take just about everything and the different containers are clearly marked. It's very conveniently located also, right across from Costco!”

“I wouldn't recommend this recycling center. I had some scrap metal that I wanted to see if they would buy. Waited for about 5 minutes at their make-shift desk before someone finally came over. When I didn't know what kind of metal I had, he told me just to toss it into one of their donation bins instead of offering to come look at it to see if it would be something they'd buy. He wasn't rude, but was very short and not at all interested in helping me. Instead of donating the metal, I jumped back in my car and looked up other recycling centers in the area on my phone. I found another center about a mile or two away (United Recycling Center). This place was much better. A guy came out to help me before I could even park my car. He was super friendly...told me they'd buy any kind of metal. The place was clean and the staff was helpful. Drove away with $15 bucks.”

“avoid any recycle place that will not put their price on their web page. If they are not honest enough to keep an up to date price on the web page they are not worth doing business with. it would be better to build a small simple induction smelter for aluminum or copper & Stockpile metal until the buyers need the metal so bad they have to trade with respect.”
