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.

After Altadena Recycling closed, I felt like I had no choice but to go to Ponce Recycling…read more Unfortunately, I won't be going back there anytime soon. I always had a feeling I wasn't getting paid fairly, but since I don't know much about recycling rates, I wasn't sure. A friend recommended FLOREZ Recycling in Irwindale, and wow -- my gut feeling was right all along! I received so much more money for my bottles and cans compared to before. FLOREZ Recycling is a small family-owned business, and they were incredibly kind and helpful. They even helped me organize my bottles, which I truly appreciated. They felt honest, fair, and welcoming. I now combine my recycling trips with my Costco shopping, which makes it super convenient. The location can be a little difficult to find at first because it's located in the alley behind the main buildings, but it is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend supporting FLOREZ Recycling: 333 S Irwindale Ave, Irwindale, CA (626) 200-0259 I'm so glad I found them and finally have a better

Since I was nearby on an errand and had some recycling in the trunk, I searched for a nearby…read morerecycling center and this came up. It's in the same plaza as Ralphs, off of Emerson Ave. This isn't my usual recycling place. So it was a surprise to me to find out that they accept wine bottles and even those Ragu jars! (Be sure to clean the inside since the workers have to break it down themselves.) My regular recycling center didnt take those so I've been just tossing it in the trash. (My garbage company says they will separate it out but somehow I am skeptical.) Since finding this place, I've been bringing all of my wine bottles and glass jars here. As for the value when it comes to these glass items, I'm not sure if I am getting a fair price or not since I have nothing to compare it to. But at least in my situation, I am getting a little something instead of absolutely nothing when I toss it in the trash. The lines go quickly at this location. It's definitely a shorter wait time compared to my usual place. And the staff here are friendly. I've been back and will keep coming back!

It's at the parking lot right next to Ralph's with about 6 parking spots right in front of it. The people working there are nice. They go on lunch break from 12pm-1pm I believe. Last time I did go about after 1pm and they were not there yet so keep that in mind. They now take glass bottles individually instead of by weight and the pricing changed since my last visit but I don't pay too much attention to the prices since this is just extra money to me. The process is easy - just separate your cans, bottles, and glass. This location doesn't take gallon milk cartons but the montebello location does.

I finally had enough and clapped at him and said "Let's go" but he was still texting. Then I said "Hey, how much" and he finally stopped texting to write down on his notes and give me the money. Plus this guy is not nice at all. I recommend another recycling place instead on Via Campo close to the Best Buy. They are much nicer and much quicker too. Another thing is this place many times has homeless people recycling their cans and I don't want to be anywhere near those bums.
