Everyone is hustling and bustling. Grab a few bins to separate your recycles, bring it over to the friendly employees, they get weighed, you get paid. Quick, efficient, you're helping the environment, it's all good.

After they closed the recycling center in Gardena near Home Depot, I'm glad I found Venture. When…read moreyou shop at Costco and Sam's Club, it's amazing how fast the piles of plastic bottles and aluminum cans piles up. There's only so much microplastic our bodies can store so what to do with the macro portion left over? Sure, I could just dump it in my blue recycling cans, save time, effort, and have people digging through my recycling, dumping the rest of the contents on the street or let the city cash in my hard earned CRV. Nah. The city already takes more than their fair share of my income. The workers at Venture are always friendly and helpful. There is adequate parking and never a shortage of bins to roll over to the scales. The lot is set up so traffic goes one way, making entering and exiting efficient. It is rather grungy but it's a recycling center. I've never seen one that could pass a white glove inspection. Just wear a pair of rubber/vinyl gloves so you don't get gunk on your hands and you'll be fine. There are closer recycling centers closer to home but the guys at Venture make an inconvenient chore into a more pleasant experience.

I have a little shredder but it would have taken a really long time to do it myself versus showing up at their business with maybe a 140 pounds of documents that they were able to shred in maybe 10 minutes. I witnessed the shredding which was a fascinating process. I also had them destroy multiple hard drives, iPhones, iPads as well various items that were no longer usable. I don't often write reviews but if you are looking for this kind of service I would highly recommend this business in terms them being very helpful and having great prices!

I have clients' files with their personal IDs, clients' medical records, my old TAX files, the company's records, old Fax records files, old DVDs and CDs, and my past school's personal information. They have all types of shredding machines for paper, discs, old cassette tapes, old VHSs, hard drives, films, etc., at their facility. You can drop off or make an appointment to be a witness to the shredding process yourself. Their prices are less than half the price of the UPS Store shredding service. Even if you have a lot of everyday shredding items, I highly recommend Shredding Place. They're exceptionally trustworthy. To be frank, they did not ask me to write and post my honest review on Yelp.

Best recycling service in Long Beach. I had over 500 lb of printed cardstock I received from Amazon…read morewhich was a third party scam originated in China. I received continuous deliveries including four huge Amazon canvas boxes containing more shipments. I worked with corridor to segregate the recyclable cardstock items with the non-recyclable tags and ribbons associated to some of the products.

I was thankful to get them off my hands.

Quick and easy recycling process!…read more My neighbor brought me here the first time I came. We both sorted our bottles & cans into the provided plastic garbage cans. This recycling center is a little hidden, but worth finding! It's located near the backside of the Planet Fitness Gym. You just keep driving past it and turn left (the only direction available). This second time I came by myself. Unstacking the plastic garbage cans is probably the most difficult thing to do! They create a vacuum and get stuck together. I got a few apart and began tossing in the sorted recyclables. I brought: *1 Kitchen bag of Aluminum Cans = $2.55 *3 Kitchen Bags of Plastic Bottles = $20.29 *15 Glass Bottles = $0.92 *1 Plastic Milk Bottle = $0.13 Two things I appreciate are: You don't need to separate glass bottles by color, AND you don't need to show your I.D. to receive your money. The only thing I wished they had was a hand washing station. It would be nice, but not a deal breaker. I use gloves to do keep my hands clean while working. Plus, I always carry Hand Sanitizer, so I'm doubly good! I noticed that the redemption prices have have fluctuated. Also, there are three new categories of which I'm not entirely sure what they are. Next time I have a good amount of recyclables, I'll bring them here again!

At its core, a very simple and reliable recycling service!…read more Aim to organize your glass bottles, aluminum cans, and plastic bottles/gallons prior to coming over so you're in and out. This place has its own sanitation station, but I highly recommend bringing your own gloves and hand sanitizer. Aluminum and plastic bottles go into the orange net baskets (but should be separated). Large plastic gallons should be placed on top of small/standard water bottles. Glass bottles go into the grey plastic bins. If you come right before they open at 9AM, you'll likely run into 1-2 parties trying to be in and out of there as well. I always run into families here, but the community as a whole is pretty good about not hogging containers/baskets.
