Happy Earth Day, 2026!…read more Did you know that humans produce over 460 million metric tons of plastic every year? After learning this, the first thought that came to my mind was 'This is a huge number! How much actually is this?' Consider this: This is more weight than the weight of the Eiffel Tower (Paris), Golden Gate Bridge (San Francisco), Brooklyn Bridge (New York), Empire State Building (New York), Statue of Liberty (New York), Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italy), Great Pyramid of Giza (Egypt), Burj Khalifa (Dubai), Space Needle (Seattle), Tokyo Skytree (Japan), The Pentagon (Virginia), and the Great Wall of China, ALL COMBINED, TIMES SEVEN! That's A LOT of plastic! Worse yet, we produce this amount of plastic EVERY year, and studies predict that it takes approximately 450 years for a plastic bottle to decompose in a landfill. That means that the plastic bottle that you throw in the trash will still be there for approximately 18 generations of your descendants after you. If you don't recycle, you are literally trashing our planet for your own offspring! And, Earth is the only planet that we know of that is capable of supporting life. OK, I'll get off my soapbox now. Aside from trying to be a good citizen of planet Earth, I also recycle because I could always use some extra cash. I can usually pocket around $20 for every visit I make here, which really helps because I am certainly not a rich man. This particular location is a great option for recycling, here at "Benites Recycling," located just behind Bob's Market (Lancaster, California). I've been to this location several times. The money you receive by recycling here is similar to what you will receive at other nearby recycling centers. There are three things I like about this location in particular, as follows: (1) they typically do not require you to show your I.D. like they do at some other locations; (2) they use lightweight recycling bins, so they can quickly obtain an accurate weight of your recycling without having to tare the weight of the bins; and (3) the wait here is usually minimal because there are usually less people here than at some of the other recycling centers I have gone to. Although I believe the folks here are honest, the only thing I don't like about this location is how the actual recycling weight is difficult for the customer to see unless the customer walks around the scale and stands next to the employee reading the weight. Aside from this one drawback, I do like coming here for the reasons mentioned above. I'll definitely return to this location in the future. If you don't recycle here, please recycle somewhere.

They also had no problem asking one another what hair color they thought my female area was either. They just spoke to each other in Spanish because they assumed I could not understand them. I made it a point to call ahead and verify I could be paid the CRV redemption if I brought my aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastic beverage containers to be recycled there. I was assured I would be paid as such. I made sure to pre-count all my recycling before leaving for the facility as well. I had 832 aluminum soda cans, 229 glass beer bottles, and 302 2-liter plastic soda bottles in total. Here is what I was given: Aluminum 6.0 lbs @ $1.68 = $10.08; 53 lbs @ $0.15 = $5.57; and 11.0 lbs @ $1.32 = $14.52. A total of $30.17! They are liars, scammers, and I felt them to be quite misogynistic as well. 0/10 NEVER RECYCLE AT AV RECYCLING!!!

So, I know what you're thinking... "Yeah, right, this place deserves 5 stars?!?!" Well yes, yes it…read moredoes. And, let me explain why. On occasion, I have been to a few businesses where the place really doesn't look like it's up to much, but then you meet the people that work there and one can start to see why it's a great business. This is one of those places. I'm on a really tight budget, so every dollar I save is beneficial for me and my kids. This makes recycling a wise choice for me. Plus, it's just good for the environment too. I've been to this recycling center several times, and each visit has been a good experience for me. Although most of the recycling items I bring here are plastic containers, I also see other customers bringing large quantities of glass bottles and aluminum cans. They have a pretty simple process to recycle your items here: grab several of the large bins and fill them with your recycling items from your car, drag the bins over and get all your recycling items weighed, and the best part - get cash! Now, here's what differentiates this business from others: it's the people, who are friendly and honest. I've been to a few other recycling centers where they try to cheat you out of cash here and there, usually based on their skeptical weighing practices. Unlike other places, the people I have dealt with here are honest, which is really refreshing. The young lady that usually manages the weighing and cash distribution here is very friendly and honest. Also, on one occasion I came on a particularly windy day and this one poor customer was frustrated to see a large portion of his recycling items blowing away out of his car. When this happened, I saw the gentleman that works here (in one of my photos) quickly running around trying to gather up all of this customer's recycling items for him. I just watched this and thought to myself "now, that's a man with a great work ethic, who is also considerate for his customers." If I owned this business, these are the kind of people I would want to have on my team. If you don't recycle, you should. And, if you do recycle and live nearby, you should bring your recycling here.
