Alex Highiet established Modesto Junk Company in 1920. The original building, which is still located at 9th & ‘O’ streets, across from where the old Burge’s Drive-In was located, had a front row seat to all of the action from the American Graffiti glory days of Modesto. 📷: @khofthe209 #modestohistory #stanislauscounty #100yrsold #recycledmaterials

It may not look pretty to all, but we are currently recycling almost all grades of scrap plastics at this time.
Our California Recund Value (CRV) beverage container collection operation remains temporarily closed due to COVID-19 complications, but we are actively receiving household scrap plastics from the public as drop-off items for recycling.
No, it’s not a dusting of snow. It’s ash from another California fire

Scientists Found A New Way To Break Down the Most Common Plastic
We are so saddened to learn of the recent passing of a long-time customer and friend, Roy Dyson, age 95.
From the obituary in The Modesto Bee:
'After retiring, he spent time with his family, he loved a good dinner, "Stuff" being his favorite, attending car shows in his Model-A, and recycling metals and taking scraps to Modesto Junk.'
