  Everyone should be careful when taking your recycles to this place. I took 4 huge bags of cans to this place and the guys said that the scale was Working but not the computer so he wrote it in a piece of paper. Whe I took it to the Window to cash it the lady wrote $80 wich im sure it was more than that. Then the lady went to talk to someone away from the windows and came back and scratched off the $80 and put $40 but when she realized that I was paying attention she scratched off the $40 and wrote $80 again, I'm sure it was more than 80 because I have taken less than what I took today and got almost that much. Now imagine when ever they say that the computers aren't working how much money they steal from each person all day long and specially when people are not paying attention. So be careful and always keep and eye.

  Very disappointed with Sunwest Metals Inc. I pre-weighed my scrap metal at home, yet their scales always show less weight, which means customers get underpaid. The workers are rude, dismissive, and act like they don’t care about helping anyone. I’m not the only one — other customers have reported the same issues: workers looking for excuses not to take items, always rushing, low-balling people for scrap, and even unsafe company drivers on the freeway with unsecured loads that could cause accidents. Some reviewers even called the business dishonest and a scam. This place does not value honesty or customer service. If you want fair pay and respect, I suggest going elsewhere

  ⭐☆☆☆☆ Disappointing Experience at Sunwest Metals Recycling Center I rarely recycle, but six months ago I made a conscious decision to start doing my part. I collected eight large bags of recyclable materials—glass, aluminum, and plastic bottles—all sorted and prepared, and brought them to Sunwest Metals expecting a smooth process. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Two employees assisting with unloading refused to take my plastic bottles, claiming that some were from “foreign countries” and “those countries don’t pay taxes,” even though I bought all the drinks at a local supermarket and paid CRV at the register. They also rejected my glass bags, saying they had food containers, and wouldn’t let me remove or sort through the bags myself. As a result, all eight bags were put back in my car. I left frustrated and confused about why I had even tried to recycle in the first place. Later that same day, I found a smaller recycling center behind a liquor store, and to my surprise, the staff there unloaded all six remaining bags without a problem, sorted the materials for me, and were polite and efficient. It’s unfortunate that a large facility like Sunwest Metals, which should encourage community recycling, made the process so unwelcoming. It felt like the staff just didn’t want to do their job and looked for excuses not to help. This kind of service discourages people from recycling. I won’t be returning to Sunwest Metals. I’ll continue to recycle and support smaller centers that actually value customers and the environmental impact of their work.
