I can't say anything really good or bad about Bestway. It's more or less what I expect from a…read morerecycling center. It's kind of dirty, they weigh your recyclables, and they pay you cash. They do sometimes have hand sanitizer but I keep my own in my car as well as wipes. They're located in the Gardena Market's parking lot so parking can be hit or miss. I've not had a bad experience coming here but I don't know what they could do for me to call them excellent. They're just a convenient and competent recycling center. I couldn't say how their rates compare because I go them mainly for the convenience.

I have always been trying to find a recycling place close to me since the one near Crenshaw Blvd…read moreand Artesia closed down years ago. Happened to Google and found "Bestway Recycling" the other day. I was happy I did. The place sat at the corner of the Gardena Supermarket. Service was fast. A person was cleaning the area when I went there. Though it looked simple and might be a little outdated, overall it was clean with no trash smells. A very tall guy helped me, and I was there in and out. Very fast service and friendly people. This might be my new recycling place!

Everyone is hustling and bustling. Grab a few bins to separate your recycles, bring it over to the friendly employees, they get weighed, you get paid. Quick, efficient, you're helping the environment, it's all good.

After they closed the recycling center in Gardena near Home Depot, I'm glad I found Venture. When…read moreyou shop at Costco and Sam's Club, it's amazing how fast the piles of plastic bottles and aluminum cans piles up. There's only so much microplastic our bodies can store so what to do with the macro portion left over? Sure, I could just dump it in my blue recycling cans, save time, effort, and have people digging through my recycling, dumping the rest of the contents on the street or let the city cash in my hard earned CRV. Nah. The city already takes more than their fair share of my income. The workers at Venture are always friendly and helpful. There is adequate parking and never a shortage of bins to roll over to the scales. The lot is set up so traffic goes one way, making entering and exiting efficient. It is rather grungy but it's a recycling center. I've never seen one that could pass a white glove inspection. Just wear a pair of rubber/vinyl gloves so you don't get gunk on your hands and you'll be fine. There are closer recycling centers closer to home but the guys at Venture make an inconvenient chore into a more pleasant experience.

My experience with this place was great! I was in the process of moving across the country and had…read morelots of documents that I wanted shredded. I have a little shredder but it would have taken a really long time to do it myself versus showing up at their business with maybe a 140 pounds of documents that they were able to shred in maybe 10 minutes. I witnessed the shredding which was a fascinating process. I also had them destroy multiple hard drives, iPhones, iPads as well various items that were no longer usable. I don't often write reviews but if you are looking for this kind of service I would highly recommend this business in terms them being very helpful and having great prices!

I have clients' files with their personal IDs, clients' medical records, my old TAX files, the company's records, old Fax records files, old DVDs and CDs, and my past school's personal information. They have all types of shredding machines for paper, discs, old cassette tapes, old VHSs, hard drives, films, etc., at their facility. You can drop off or make an appointment to be a witness to the shredding process yourself. Their prices are less than half the price of the UPS Store shredding service. Even if you have a lot of everyday shredding items, I highly recommend Shredding Place. They're exceptionally trustworthy. To be frank, they did not ask me to write and post my honest review on Yelp.

This place has its own sanitation station, but I highly recommend bringing your own gloves and hand sanitizer. Aluminum and plastic bottles go into the orange net baskets (but should be separated). Large plastic gallons should be placed on top of small/standard water bottles. Glass bottles go into the grey plastic bins. If you come right before they open at 9AM, you'll likely run into 1-2 parties trying to be in and out of there as well. I always run into families here, but the community as a whole is pretty good about not hogging containers/baskets.
