    They don't take business papers nor books
    David M.

    They don't recycle business papers or books like the sign states I've been to many recycling place I won't be back

    Came here to drop off cardboard boxes.

    I love ordering from Amazon because of the shipping convenience, but having to break down boxes every week, and trying to stuff the boxes into my recycling bin which always over exceeds the space I have struggled to rid my boxes week after week. I finally found a place where I can dump the boxes and earn some cash/change, but honestly I'd rather not pick up the the chump change earnings and just rid the boxes to have space in my garage. As I looked across, I see trucks unloading appliances, I can only guess that this is the place where junk removal for large appliances come to cash out. I find it very interesting, and now I know where to go to rid of large recyclables.

    Active recycling is one of the best recycling plants in Alhambra and Los Angeles. Clean maintains a good report with these customers. And it pays every day the best place in town.

    Great place to go recycle your unwanted junk. Clean and fast service. They don't accept cans and bottles anymore, what a bummer!!!.

    I guess I bought too many things on Amazon, because I had a HUGE pile of cardboard and didnt know what to do with it.

    I usually go to the Monterey park location and did not realize they have a location in San Gabriel!…read moreThe service was good! And the wait wasn't too bad! Would definitely come back here to recycle my bottles and cans.

    This is my go to recycling center. There is only one guy working there so be patient. There is…read moreusually a line of people who wait, so to secure your spot, start by placing a few bags that you can hold and bring them over to the line. I brought a small dolly with glass bottles and a little bit of plastic bottles and 4 cans (which i gave to someone who collected more than me). Pro tip: separate your glass by color. Brown, green, clear, etc. Prior to coming to this location. They also do not accept milk cartons and olive oil glass bottles. They separate their glass by color, and if you dont have them separated, they will make you do it there. The only hard part is that you can't separate them until they have bins available for you to use and separate them. Suggestions: you may want to bring some ear plugs because the clinging of the glasses can pierce your ear drums. A hat is always nice because they only have one canopy to provide shade. A small portable chair to sit as you wait for others to turn theirs in and maybe a fan of some sort for the hot days. They dont have many trash cans to throw away your bags or cardboard boxes, so you may need a clean bag to store all these and dispose of it at a later time. Hand sanitizer or gloves because you will be grabbing dirty trash cans or these wired baskets as you bring your piles to the guy. They weigh your piles by categories and pay you cash in the end. Carry some spare change, some of each would be good (pennies, dimes, nickles, quarters) because they may just round up and give you a solid bill.

    Saturday, 07/11/2026 at 11:48am I did a recycling run because my wall limit was full where I like…read moreto store and collect my recycling in my house. I know that for some of us picky people, we wished that other's would carry the same logical trait of being better organized, ready, and efficient. Basically, we wish that other's would think like us, but that is smoke and mirrors when that thought is contemplated. Where ever I am going, I like to be overly prepared for the journey and the objective that I'm about to encounter. I have passed this recycling center once or twice while driving in back of the shopping outlet plaza to just pass through. I had been tempted to try this recycling center since the one I knew of near by my house closed. This recycling center in my eye's is a hidden Easter egg located at 2469 Via Campo Montebello. CA 90640 (In back the shopping outlet plaza). The parkings a bit tricky if one has never parked in a designated area that didn't contain parking lines. I had my recycling ready to go and just needed their collection recycling bins to barrow. I filled the recycling bins up and waited less than five minutes to cash out for my recycling return. The associates working together from the times I have just passed through and my first visit seemed very quick, efficient, and organized. I didn't seem to feel stressed while waiting. Although, I bet anything that it drives the associates insane for the customers that don't come prepared and take their time sorting out there recycling which should have been sorted out at home or the other destinations before the thought of coming to the Recycling Center. My personal opinion...The associates only have so many bins to loan to each customer. And as a personal, I like to rinse all of my recycling when I collect it. It's a less chance cause for bad germs and bacteria.

    I just left there today and there are bees everywhere so if you're allergic, just be careful…read more There was a lady there today and I noticed that they have the scale. So I made sure that I was there leaning over so I can see how much my stuff was weighing. My aluminum weighed 14.5 and when I got the receipt it was 10.0. So they are being totally dishonest. She tried to say that the basket is a fee of two. I never heard that before. So now I have to find another place to go because I know, without a doubt, they are putting the extra money in their pocket.
