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

In order to start the vehicle retiring process and receive either $1,000 or $1,500 from the program called Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) Vehicle Retirement (sponsored by BAR aka Bureau of Automotive Repair), then the vehicle owner must meet the following eligibility requirements: [Vehicle retirement for $1,000 - https://www.bar.ca.gov/consumer/consumer-assistance-program/vehicle-retirement-1000] - The program is for consumers with household incomes EXCEEDING the income eligibility requirement. #1 - Must be the registered owner of the vehicle with the vehicle title issued in owner's name #2 - Must not have retired another vehicle through CAP as a sole owner OR more than two vehicles as a joint owner within the past 12 months. #3 - The vehicle must have failed its most recent Smog Check inspection. #4 - Additional registration and vehicle requirements - see the BAR website for more details. [Vehicle retirement for $1,500 - https://www.bar.ca.gov/consumer/consumer-assistance-program/vehicle-retirement-1500] - The program is for consumers with household incomes MEETING the income eligibility requirement (must have a gross household income that is less than or equal to 225% of the Federal poverty level). * Same as #1, #2, and #4 above with a slight difference for #3. * For $1,500 incentive, the vehicle must have failed its most recent Smog Check inspection OR completed a Smog Check inspection (pass or fail) within 180 days prior to applying. [Application] I began my vehicle retiring process by filling out the application. Once BAR approves the process via mail (which can take up to 10 business days), then the vehicle owner needs to bring the approved letter (aka letter of eligibility) to BAR-contracted dismantler (in this case it is SA Recycling). I came to this location in Irwindale because SA Recycling in El Monte didn't show up on the BAR website. Vehicle owner will need to find their own ride getting back home. [Process]: I initially parked my car in a designated parking area and walked up to the office window. I brought all of documents (driver's license, letter of eligibility from BAR, and vehicle's title aka pink slip) and had to fill out two more forms in person. Please note that CAP ID # is on the letter of eligibility, LOE means letter of eligibility, and EFMP means Enhanced Fleet Modernization Program (I believe $1,000 incentive = no and $1,500 incentive = yes but just ask the staff to confirm). After I submitted both forms, the staff instructed one person to drive the car to the giant weight scale. After following few simple instructions like stepping on the gas pedal while the car is in parked position, the staff said just pull the car up and park the car around the corner. Afterward it was my chance to say my final goodbye, left the key in the car, finalized the paperwork process, and received a paper check on the spot. Overall the process took approximately 50 minutes. RIP 1999 Honda CR-V (2007 to 2024). The overall vehicle retirement process was alright.

It was time to help Mother Earth, so I separated the plastic bottles (the caps can be left on in this county) from the aluminum cans and headed to Gina's Recycling Center. There was a woman in a wheelchair - I thought she might be Gina, but she turned out to be a customer and she only spoke Chinese. I couldn't understand her. A male worker was there, but he only spoke Spanish. I asked him in English if they take counted bottles and cans or is it by weight only? He couldn't answer. It seems like they had been closed for lunch break. Another worker arrived, opened the door, and spoke English. Cans and bottles are by weight only. Okay. Thank you!
