    Their location has changed. They are now behind the Bel Air off Foothills. But consistent, respectful service remains the same! We recycle! And we love supporting this family-owned business!

    Very nice and helpful staff. On less busy days they occasionally help with sorting cans which is extremely helpful.

    Ask the Community - NorCal Recycling

    Do the recyclables have to have the lids taken off?

    I leave all the lids on and have never had a problem.

    Do you accept scrap metal?

    No no scrap metal only CRV.

    Do you take plastic grocery bags? I don't need any money for these but would like to keep these off landfills. Thank you.

    Good evening no we do not take plastic bags. Most of the grocery stores usually have a bin by the entrance door where you can recycle them.

    Are you requiring masks near the facilities while you are open?

    We don’t require mask but some customers do wear them.

    Are you guys open? Can I recycle glass, aluminum and plastic here and get my bottle deposits back? Thanks

    Yes we are open M-F 9-4 and Saturday 9-2 we accepted aluminum cans-plastic-glass as long as it has the California CRV and you will get your money soon as you are done with the transaction.

    recently brought in a large batch of cans to Santana Recycling and the process was simple and…read morequick. I had already sorted everything and once I arrived things moved along smoothly. The workers are nice and helpful. They are out there even when it is hot and they helped me drag my barrels over after I finished sorting, which I appreciated. It can be a little difficult to spot at first since the recycling area is located behind the Lowe's, but once you know where it is, it is an easy stop if you have an abundance of cans to turn in. They also have a portable handwashing station, which I was grateful for because my hands were pretty sticky after handling all the cans. I feel like they pay well for aluminum and plastic goods making the effort to recycle more worth the work.

    Stopped by this location today for the first time. Smooth and easy experience, would recommend!…read more LOCATION: Behind Big Lots and Lowe's buildings on Fairway. I had the day off today so I decided to load up our trunk with recyclables. Drove to our usual recycling place (NorCal Recycling behind Hobby Lobby on Douglas) and was bummed that they're closed on Mondays. Really didn't want to have to unload the bags or carry them around until the next time I could make it out there. Decided to come on Yelp to find another recycling center close by. Saw Santana Recycling on Fairway but had never heard of it or even had any idea where it was located. Skimmed the 8 reviews but didn't see any mention of the location. Figured it was probably on the side or the back of a building so I drove around and finally found it behind Big Lots (close to the Lyon building). Plenty of parking but if you want to be closer to the cashier, there are about 4 spots in closer proximity. Wasn't sure if they would bring the bins to me (like they do at NorCal Recycling) or if I was supposed to grab the bins, or lug my bags to the front or what. So I just grabbed a bundle of 3 bins to my car, dumped the different bags into corresponding bins (plastics, aluminum, glass) and then pushed the bins to the cashier. The cashier didn't say anything when he started weighing my bins so I greeted him instead. He responded politely and asked how I was doing. Weighing the items was fast and soon I was $12 richer and my trunk/garage was cleaner. :)

They are so personable they get right in there and share how they did it how they do it and what they want to do in the future. Their competitors are no slouch but they would have to go through so many more esteem-able situations and circumstances to touch these down To earth group of guys they are the most helpful kindest people I've encountered in my visiting of all the local recycle centers in the area. they are fair go above and beyond and are fun to talk to. They are truly self made with a hint of the old faith thats lost in this day and age. It's nice to see it still works and they are the ones in gainful business because of it.... Thanks guys o

    We have to drive approximately 12 miles to this one and only location that provides this type of…read moreservice but it is well worth the drive. The staff is very supportive, although they appeared to be short staffed today. Apparently, others have discovered this special location as it was very busy today and people were lined up but we were in and out in 15-20 minutes. NOTE: Although, the signs say no crushed, if you are able to get the bar code available to be read, you should be ok. We just twist the item to semi-uncrushed so bar code can be read. Whatever you do at home, do not remove the wrapper with the bar code. Also note that more items are now recyclable. While we do recycle glass, we find glass to be not worth recycling due to weight and price per pound but we continue to do be recycling partners for California, even if it's glass.
