What Our Customers Say
Real feedback from customers who trust Green-Go for their recycling needs
“I have tried a few different recycling places in north county, but this one has gained my commitment. I had a truck load of stainless steel, my bed full and heavy. Sergio brought me a large metal container, delivered right to my tailgate for my convenience! I unloaded it from my tailgate and that was the only strenuous thing I had to do. He used the forklift to take the bin to the scale to weigh it for me. Then I returned several more times with a full load, and ever the gentleman, he brought me a metal bin I could toss my steel into. Sure made things easier for me. Once you meet him you'll see his smile is infectious and you'll find yourself smiling back. The prices are pretty good. As a matter of fact, I made more money at this location than the recycler I was going to on Quince Street in Escondido. Plus, there is 4x as much parking at GoGreen than at that other location in Escondido. In just four loads of stainless steel I made enough money to take my Mom to the casino! Try GoGreen and just like me, you won't go anywhere else! Thanks Sergio! I'll be back as soon as I gather enough for another load.”
