This place is a scam. I took my cans and bottles there. They kept 5 percent of the money I had paid for the deposits and should have gotten back. Actually, that looks much better than a lot of the reviews here. I complained. The rude guy with the reddish beard blamed me! He said I should have told them I had wanted them to count my cans and bottles. I rebutted that nobody asked me. I go there maybe once every 3 or 4 years. Never again. And they have a freaking tip can! It's like if someone robs you on the street and then asks you for a tip for that. Absurd. Don't go to this place ever.

For years I've been coming here 3 or 4 times a month. Almost always with about the same amount of recycling, consistently getting about the same amount of money in return. A few weeks ago I was told not to come back because they will not serve the homeless anymore. Despite the fact I do not have a car and walk over to Ponce, I do have a home. This was very frustrating to say the least as I tried to plead with them that im not homeless. Ive made attempts to reach an owner to no avail. If someone from Ponce will contact me that would be great. So after a few weeks I took my recycling over to Apple. It was my usual sized recyling load and to my surprise the payment was about 25 percent higher than I received at Ponce for the same amount of recyclable goods. Ive gone back three times since to the same result.

PAY ATTENTION!!! I never leave here feeling like I got paid for 100% of my stuff. The guys seem to intentionally move extra fast when it’s time to weigh. It almost feels like a giant game of game of 3 card monte. Today I had 8 bags of compressed plastic & 2 large bags of squashed cans. 2 more bags of plastic plus an extra bag of aluminum- more than my usual 7 bags which average about $65-$70. This trip was only worth $76. I can’t prove anything but it feels light by $10-$15…
