Pros:

Recycler Guard did not sale me a peace of a program. You get the whole program not modules and no extra fees for add on feature. Simple to use and learn. All of my employees were able to use program within short period of time. Not cloud based program. I have been around several programs and they all nickel and dime you for service , equipment and supplies. Not Recycler Guard No expensive server. Customer service: You don't get just anybody, you get the programmer. He is very easy to understand.

Cons:

Have no complaints. Recycler Guard delivered everything they said the would. All businesses are different and not one size fits all. Recycler Guard did all they could to fit program to my business.

Reasons for choosing RecyclerGuard

Cost, functionality and customer service. I talked to several users of these other brands. They all said companies tell you what you want to hear to sell product, then comes the fees they did not tell you about. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] (Programmer Recycler Guard) was very up front told me what his program did and didn't do and all cost associated with his software. One Fee!

Reasons for switching to RecyclerGuard

Cost and complete package of Recycler Guard.

Vendor Response

Dave, Thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave a review of RecyclerGuard. I am encouraged by your review and we will continue to offer new clients a cost effective software/hardware package for Recycling Centers just like yours.

Recycling Program at Its Best!!

It was a great experience! [SENSITIVE CONTENT] with RecyclerGuard is very knowledgeable about the scrap industry and its needs to meet the state's laws. He is so helpful by phone even on weekends. The transition from the old out-dated program with another vendor to RecyclerGuard was a very positive experience.

Pros:

There are several that make the recording of each scrap metal transaction a breeze......the ID/DL scanner imports the name, address and pertinent info into the program saving lots of hands-on time. Always know what your sales are, it is right on the face screen. The receipt printout saves the old way of printing each transaction on the printer. These are just a few of the program highlights and it is affordable. You will not go wrong with RecyclerGuard.

Cons:

Having to wait a week to get the equipment. Our program was out dated and we were behind submitting our daily reports to Leadsonline.

Reasons for choosing RecyclerGuard

Price was utmost for us. We are a small yard in the area. Once I viewed the how-to videos and saw how simple it was, we were sold.

Reasons for switching to RecyclerGuard

The [SENSITIVE CONTENT] of the other program was MIA. Would not return calls, messages, emails.

Pros:

As a start-up, we needed a cost effective system that could adapt to the unknowns that were inevitable. We needed to meet legal requirements at a minimum but hoped the unforeseen enhancements could be accommodated. The support from RecyclerGuard to meet our changing needs has been excellent.

Cons:

An exhaustive user’s manual that documents all aspects of the system might have helped new employees get familiar quicker, but phone support was always available to answer questions and clear up confusion.

Reasons for choosing RecyclerGuard

As a start-up, our decision was based on meeting regulatory requirements with a low initial cost solution.

Vendor Response

Alan, Thank you for reviewing our software. We do have a user manual and I apologize for not distributing it to you sooner, I'll make it a priority to give all the new customers the User Manual at the time of delivery. I would like to personally thank you for choosing us to be your software provider for each of your three locations and I hope your business continues to prosper in the future as it has in the past.

As the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and Programmer of the software [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] provides hands on technical support most anytime of the day. Additional, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is enthusiastic in his support and is proactive in making calls to ensure that things are going well. In my experience the level of support that [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] provides is truly unique and sets his company apart from all others.

Cons:

Exceptional program for our scrap metal recycling business!!

Overall we have had a very good experience with the Recycler Guard program. It does exactly what it is advertised to do. The program is constantly being upgraded with new and better features. We all love that all suggestions are taken into consideration for further software improvements.

Pros:

Customer service is always our number one factor in buying a product. Henry is exceptional about listening to our issues or suggestions we may have. He is always happy to listen to our suggestions and make any changes that help fit our needs. Recycler Guard does an excellent job as an inventory, selling, and buy program as well as keep us in compliance with all state and federal laws pertaining to buying scrap metals.

Cons:

Only issues I've had are some of the hardware items that are used in conjunction with the program (ID reader, signature pad, etc...). It seemed like we had a run of bad luck getting properly functioning hardware in the beginning. However, Henry always sends any replacement parts necessary very quickly and at no charge. This has kept us up and running with little to no down time.

Reasons for choosing RecyclerGuard

We are a fairly small scrap metal recycling facility. At the time price was a big factor in our decision making process. This software met all of our expectations then and continues to meet them as our company grows.
