    Right at the end of the street

    Get your Spring cleaning on! Had to unload a bunch of e-waste and was having a difficult time finding a solid place. Thanks Yelp for directing me to Homeboy! I've been to many conferences where Father Greg was speaking, but never knew that he and Homeboy had expanded to the recycling sector. Truly a gem in our great city. Danny and the staff were super helpful. They unloaded and took care of everything. Thanks to them, my closets are roomier and I feel 300 lbs lighter. Thanks, Homies!

    Beautiful display of vintage electronics.

    Isidore is the bee's knees! Did not know of any electronics recycling centers in the Echo Park area but a quick Google search introduced me to Isidore among other electronics recycling centers with less than stellar reviews. They're not exactly in Echo Park but the drive to Chinatown isn't too bad even with a little bit of rush hour traffic. Needed to get rid of at least seven old white MacBooks and Isidore was eager to take those off my hands. Prior to driving there, I called them. The lady who picked up my phone call was super helpful; she made sure to inform me about the parking sitch as well. They're located on a dead end street but parking shouldn't be a problem with people coming and going to drop off recyclables and whatnot. Pretty rad space with a display of all sorts of electronics - a retro arcade machine, bunch of outdated telephones, TV sets, etc. It was like traveling back in time. Heaping piles of junk and murals lace the exterior and the street where Isidore is located. Who knew recycling could feel less like a chore but more of a fun excursion!? Went back again a couple weeks later to drop off two more old MacBooks and they were playing Bon Iver in their warehouse. I almost wanted to stay and hang out for a little bit until the song was over. Unless they were playing Bon Iver's 'For Emma, Forever Ago' album in its entirety then I probably would have just stayed until the work day was over. Way impressed by them. Keep up the good work!

    Easy-to-find location, friendly staff, and seamless process. I moved in recently with my partner and needed to get rid of a lot of e-waste. I hadn't realized how much waste I accumulated throughout the years. I recycled a few old computers, a printer, a heater, old phones, cables and cords. I love Homeboy Industry and their mission-- and I prefer to recycle my e-waste here for a fee as they are able to employ formerly incarcerated folks through the fees collected from recycled items. If you care about Mama Earth and your neighbors (near and far), recycling with Homeboys is a no-brainer.
