    Getting our recycling sorted!

    Recycling - After several years, this is still our recycle center of choice! Here are a few tips to getting the best experience when you visit Before you arrive, Definitely have your recycling sorted by type (plastics, glass, aluminum). Also, make sure you have removed all the caps from your water bottles. Wear gloves as you sort your items to keep your hands from getting all wet and sticky. Also, visit their website and grab the latest coupon, which you present for a greater redemption value per pound of your items. There is ample parking, but know it can get pretty busy on the weekends. I appreciate the large basket for more common items ie the bottles and cans, and smaller ones when you have less of an item. The staff is very helpful and they willl let you know what is accepted and what is not recyclable. We will definitely keep coming back here for all our recycling!

    Their cash for scrap metal promotion on their website is fraud just called to see if my aluminum scrap would be accepted and the gentleman on the phone said "we don't take anything" glad I called before making the trip

    Amazing center that recycles not just typical cans and bottles but also many sorts of electronics. Going from old cell phones to computers. Guys here who are on staff are helpful. Well run facility to come and will recommend it.

    Coupon found online

    Pretty self explanatory signage here, so that was useful for my first time coming to this recycling center. The guys who helped me out at the scales and the cashier were pretty helpful. Need to remove the caps of plastic bottles here, not sure if that's a normal thing but just take note if you're going to bring plastic bottles to recycle, but you don't need to remove the caps of glass bottles (like milk jugs). Saved some plastic, glass and aluminum cans so that brought me here and I walked away with over 17 bucks, pretty sweet deal! They have a coupon online so make sure you find that before you go. I will be back with the next few bags of recyclables I save.

    don't forget the coupon!!

    pro tip: show them the coupon from the website http://www.bellflowerrecyclingcenter.net/en I've been coming to this recycling center since forever. I really like how cool the people are that work here. I don't know a lot about other recycling places. I just think this one is the best. About once a month, I bring all my modelo bottles and soda pop cans and water jugs and usually get anywhere from 50-100$. Then I take the money and go buy more modelo, soda pop and water. It's the circle of life

    See all

    I think they cheat people out of their money. They post a coupon online for you to use but I think it is rigged.

    Ask the Community - Bellflower Recycling Center

    Are they open for Christmas Eve December 24,2024 ( tomorrow)?

    We will be closing at 1 pm

    What happened if you crush the can do you earn/give you more money? or what about if I don't crush the can it get less money from them?

    Hello. The price is the same whether they are smashed or not. If you want to save some space you can smash them but there is no price difference

    Are you open on Black Friday?

    Yes 8-4:45pm

    Is it ok to crush the cans?

    They can be crushed by your foot but they cannot be compacted by a machine. The cans cannot appear to be prebaled

    Are you supposed to leave the caps on plastic bottles or take them off?

    Please remove the caps. You can leave them in the basket along with your bottles but they need to be removed.

    Do you guys buy copper wire and is there wait time to receive the money for it?

    Yes we buy wire. There is a 3 day hold on payment if your sale exceeds $20. If you have a contractors license you are exempt from the hold

    Do you accept cardboard boxes?

    We can recycle cardboard but we do not pay for it

    Does this center accept blinds if they are made from aluminum or any other metallic material?

    we pay for aluminum scrap but can only recycle steel. Take a magnet to it, if it sticks we do not buy it.

    And one day those machines just all disappeared and we were given blue trash cans.

No idea if that's their business plan or if the guy was just padding his own wallet at my naive expense). Yeah...if you use them, count the money while you're at the window. Also, the cashier made us wait while he watched TV and ate breakfast in the cashier's booth) Add to this that the place if filthy even by recycling center standards, and I'd say this place should be your last, worst option.

Said to come back the next morning. My cans were already crushed and clean, ready to unload into what would have been one 32 gal trash barrell. To drive back the next day would use more gas, plus much more of my time to drive back out there. He was rude and dismissive. They do not observe the open hours they advertise. I've gone there for many years. I started when they had coupons in the Long Beach newspaper. Time to find a new place. Any suggestions? UPDATE: Just went to "Sunset Recycling Center" 5951 Del Amo Blvd, Lakewood, CA 90713 (Del Amo and Woodruff). Excellent service. Pleasant, quiet environment. Does not reek like "Good Earth". Highly recommend. Only 12 minutes from Good Earth.
