I don’t know how much detail you can give about recylcing — so this will be short and sweet.
— I came to drop off some cardboard boxes that filled our garage!
— I arrived a little after 7am during the week so there were no lines
— After waiting for about 5 minutes, someone came to drop off a bin
— I received no help, which was unexpected based on the other reviews here — so that was a bit of a shock
— I dumped all my stuff into the bin and the guy gave me a receipt
I gave the receipt to the cashier and received my cash value.
FYI — They pay $.05/​lb for cardboard.
Considering the service and that there are other locations closer to me — I’ll probably opt to go somewhere closer next time.

Great place to come if you’re looking to recycle. They had enough parking and the workers were extremely nice and also gave a hand to help out. My new go to spot for recycling! I recommend you guys should all give this place a try.

DO NOT GO HERE FOR RECYCLING. I came here the first time I started recycling and I was an idiot for telling the guy working there that it was my first time. SUCH A MISTAKE! He immediately started throwing out a lot of my bottles because they were not CA CRV (which they all were), then after having 3 trash cans full of glass/​plastic bottles and cardboard, I only got 75 cents! They are very dishonest. I am never going back there again.

Wanted to check out other recycling centers as a comparison to the one I typically go to. With that being said, I’m glad I found this place. Even though this location is a little further than my usual recycling center, I prefer to recycle here. Why?
1) I feel like I get more bucks for my bottles/​cans/​glass.
2) it’s simple, easy, and quick. Al the workers there are very effecient.
3) you can leave your caps on your bottles/​glass
4) you get your receipt right there and get your money in the next building (portable), which is 10 steps away.
5) I’ve seen people recycle more things than just bottles, glass, and cans… like screen sliding doors, metal, etc.
6) They have gloves and hand sanitizers. if needed
Somethings to know:
1) like the other review, it’s dirty because it’s basically like a garbage dump area.
2) There can be a line. a lot of people seem to come here
3) It’s kind of like a self service deal: you get the trash cans, separate and dump all your recycle goods, wait in line, and give your trash cans to the employees.

This is a place to Recycle all your Bottles and Glass !! They also accept Newspapers and old electronics also scrap metal !! But it has lots of flys flying around with bumble bees buzzing all over the place. There is not wait for cans to put you plastic or glass bottles in !! They give a allright price for your Recycle stuff !! It is located on Miramar Rd on the left side of the Train Tracks !! Overall it gets only 3 Stars because of Flys !!!

Not the best place to take your recycling… parking is very limited, the wait is usually long, there are bees, and getting paid is not a speedy process.

Not much you can say about a recycling center. They provide trash bins for you to put your recyclables in. You separate your cans, bottles, glass in the bins, take them to the guy who weighs them in, when he’s finish you type in your name into his computer, he prints you out a receipt, you take it over to the cashier window (which is super tinted) put the receipt and your driver’s license in the sliding drawer, a few minutes later they slide it back out for you to provide your signature on the receipt. Another couple minutes the drawer slides out again with the money earned from recycling. Now doesn’t it feel good to recycle and do your part to help the planet. Yes it does!
