Came for the first time since 2015 and everything is great besides the parking but the people there are super quick and very nice. If I would rate this place out 5 I'd give it 4.5 just because the parking kind of sucks but they make do with what they have and get it done with what they got. They value their customers and if you need a cold beverage and a place to wash your hands they provide both !

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!

They only take plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and drink glass bottles. I was denied milk gallon bottles and empty glass sauce jars. Aluminum cans $1.65 by weight When I come here during the weekday afternoons, it's always so busy. They have a water dispenser and hand sanitizer on a small table by the sidewalk. The bins they use for sorting are super light and netted. This means anything smaller than 3 inches will fall out.

Big Rip Off , the first time a lady was there and this time a guy. What a big difference, I took way more plus the soda cans and I got way less.

I had recyclables sitting in my car for days because it had been pouring rain all week, and most centers close when it rains. If I had known this one was partially indoors, I would have come sooner!

Went on a Sunday morning around 11. I was able to pull into the lot, which has space for 3-4 cars. Unloaded my 4 bags of recyclables into their containers. The staff was friendly but the other patrons were all men who gave the side eye like I had intruded into a men only area. Instead of being men and helping a girl out, all they did was glare. Many reviews stated that the staff was rude and shortchanged them. I cannot say that was my experience. I was nicely greeted by the staff and was given my accurate amount ($17.23 which is comparable to what I used to get). If you lost your recycling center, this is a reasonable alternative. Note that they don't have anywhere to wash your hands that I was able to find so you may get a little dirty in the process. If you can't pull into the lot, there was ample street parking.

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.
