RE Planet

I’ve been going here to get my stuff recycled, ever since they hired this new guy everything just went slow. I think you guys need another person working at this location, he is really slow & takes his time. He makes the customers wait for a long time. Either get 2 people or get someone that’s works fast.

This location is closed Sunday and Monday. The hours are 10 – 4:30, ‘bankers hours’, not very convenient. They are closed 1 – 1;30 for lunch.
The operator (s) will weigh your aluminum and plastic bottles and cans and offer you scrap value, which is far less than the deposit collected by the State of California when you bought the items.
In order to reclaim your deposit, now languishing in State coffers awaiting squandering, you must use the conveyor belts. There are only two conveyor belts available, and often, one is not working. These conveyor belts have a barcode reader that allows you to reclaim your deposit. Each bottle or can for which you were charged a recycling deposit should have the correct barcode on it. Sometimes they don’t, or RE Planet hasn’t updated its barcode reader program. Then you need to alert the operator and he will give you equivalent bottles or cans to toss on the conveyor and provide adequate credit.
You don’t receive any money. What you receive is a printed receipt showing the amount of money the State should return to you. At this location, there is a Ralph’s grocery store which will provide the cash, after you stand in line for a while, anyway. Or, you can buy something at Ralph’s and the register will sort it all out.
Here’s the main problem: There are only two conveyor belts, and sometimes one is down for the count. There will be a line of people with black Hefty garbage bags full of bottles and cans to be placed on the conveyor belt. Invariably, you will be waiting behind someone who finds each bottle and can taken out of his bulging garbage bags to be worth closely looking at, and even pondering over before ever-​so-​gently placing it on the hungry conveyor belt, which by now is dying of starvation. Each bottle and can is incredibly fascinating, and worth a long look.. . HEY !! JUST PUT IT ON THE BELT !!
Try not to get irked, angry, or steamed. .. We have enough global warming already, and we have way more than enough brain dead people walking around. Just wait your turn, wait your turn, wait your turn. ..
