I cannot say enough good things about this place. I am so happy to not only finally have a recycling place close to my house, but a good one at that. They're so helpful and friendly. It's clean and I'm not afraid I'm gonna get something in my tires. They pay good prices too. They're open when they say they're gonna be. It's a great place. I'll post a pic of the hours. read more

I have been here before and they were very helpful. Which made me happy to come back. After my visit today I won't be coming back. The worker didn't help me at all and just stood there. read more

Only go here! Super friendly and no need to wait for hours! Love this place. Recycling is no longer a burden!!

Fast, organized, and friendly. I appreciated the complimentary bottle of cold water as it was a super hot day. Would definitely come back.

Found Sanchez online after RePlanet shut down countywide. Helpful worker who also tidies up site. I actually think they compensate better than than RePlanet --nice not having to enter market queue to cash redemption ticket. read more

My boyfriend and I have been collecting cans and bottles for recycling. It finally became time to turn them in for some cash! (My favorite part) This place was amazing! I had trouble finding this place so I called and was able to find it with their directions. When I arrived a worker came and helped me unload my recyclables. I would highly recommended coming here for your recycling! read more

Turning in recycling was super quick and easy. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I was greeted with a smile and an employee brought bins over. He also helped me bring the bins over to be weighed and told me why certain things get separated and showed me each time one was weighed. They have good rates. Love the staff! read more

Fast and friendly! Even though it was hard to find at first, I am so happy with the positive experience that I had here. One of the employees came to my car with baskets to greet me, and helped me weigh out my bottles and cans. They pay onsite so no need to get a voucher to redeem your payout. This will definitely be my new recycling spot! read more

Mister Sanchez helped me directly. He already lined up the containers for aluminum, glass, and plastics before I got out of the car. He and the rest of staff all had masks and hand sanitizer available - I was in and out in 15 minutes, and it was super clean being there with ample parking. Katie processed my order and was super kind. Thanks again Sanchez Recycling! read more

I've been to all the recycling centers in this area and this is the fastest and the friendliest. It's located under the new Lakeview bridge so despise how the iPhone maps routes you, you need to take the Lakeview Loop (one street north of Eisenhower). read more

I called yesterday to ask about their operating hours. I arrived this morning around 9:10 am. I arrived and was greeted my an employee who helped me with my items. He brought over the bins and asked if I'd like assistance with filling the bins. I graciously accepted his help. My items were weighed and the. I went to the service window. The ladies were kind. There was hand sanitizer as well as a small refrigerator with water bottles for customers. I was in and out rather quickly. There was no wait. This was my first time coming here and I had a wonderful experience. I will definitely return here. read more

Katie & Emanuel are so helpful and courteous. All I had to do was push a button in my Lexus RX to automatically open my rear hatch and by the time I exited my car Emanuel was right there filling an orange basket. Within a few minutes I was collecting $10.35 from Katie. Sanchez Recycling is very conveniently located off Lakeview and has plenty of parking. Best of all there is no waiting. All of the other recycling places make you wait in long line. Because of this we would either drop the bottles off at the end of the line or toss them. Thank you for your service.

This is a great place to recycle. Happy, helpful and happy efficient workers. Easy in and easy out.

We love coming here. They are always helpful and friendly! Glad they are close and still open amidst the shut down.

The BEST recycling experience I've EVER had. They list their opening sign as 9am but we got there around 8:40am and we're ready to go and assist us. They brought the bins up to our car and even started weighing us out as we were still unloading our recycle. Very quick and efficient service especially on a Saturday morning. I have never experience this quick of a recycling experience ever anywhere else. read more

It was a pleasure doing business at Sanchez. The whole process took about 10 minutes from drive-in to exit. They pointed where to pull in and brought barrels to my car. I filled them up then they took them over and weighed them. They gave me a slip of paper which I redeemed for cash. The establishment is clean and operated efficiently with friendly workers. There's even a sink to wash your hands ! N.B. If you are coming from Hwy 91/La Palma, look for Lakeview Loop on your left as you are crossing the Lakeview bridge going North toward Orangethorpe. Follow the loop all the way around and you will see Sanchez off to your right from the stop sign. read more

The lady in the parking lot was already getting the bins brought over for our plastic bottles as we arrived. We loaded them in and had them weighed right afterwards. We took the weight slip to the cashier, were paid, and then was out of there within short order. Great experience for a recycling center! read more

.10/23/19 - 9:45AM Feel ripped off! I went to Corona location (6th & Lincoln) at the date and time above. Have been saving up cans. Took in 50+ lbs of cans. The price posted was $1.80 / lb. After I offloaded and had it weighed I went to window for pay. Was told I would only be paid $1.70 / lb. I pointed to the sign said that the sign stated $1.80 / lb. Was told that price was changed today just had not gotten around to changing sign. That should have been the first thing that they did. They would not honor the POSTED price. They should have honored what they had publicly posted at the moment and then changed the sign immediately. Not good business. Be careful. Ask for the day's price before going through the work. As I found out the posted amount is not always honored. Or go where they honor what they post! read more

Will drive some 10 miles to get here since they are the best prices and so friendly!! Easy parking and assist you if you have a huge amount of bottles and cans. They do wear masks and follow all protocols. After finding Sanchez Recycling no need to go any where else. What one would expect, no disappointments! read more

Very friendly and helpful. The other recycle centers don't really lift a finger to help, but here someone has always run over, helped me sort and they are super efficient and fast! Very family- friendly feel. Will not go anywhere else. read more

Yelped a near by recycling center and they came up. What called out my attention was the reviews and good ratings! Decided to give them a try & prices were good. As soon as I pulled up they greeted me and brought over the bins to dump my recycle. Very happy. Soon as I was done they attended me fast. I was in and out in no more than 5 min. I drove 10 min and I'm impressed. They are located on a low key spot not hard to find and they maintain clean. One of the workers was air blowing when I got there. You can tell they like to keep their customer happy !!! read more

Can't say enough good things about this family business. Recycling is a relatively simple process. Why you want to come here: polite, helpful, and process you quickly. What more could you ask for? read more

J is my second visit they are the friendliest and most helpful people. They have a great and easy system. They have signs up that explains every question you could possibly think of. And most importantly it's clean, very clean. read more

Could not find a place to drop off my cardboard. They where happy to take it. The people there are courteous and kind, and happy for the business. It's nice to see a up and coming business willing to act as such. I'm am recommending them to many. read more

Once again another fantastic experience at Sanchez Recycling. Fast, clean, and friendly. I watched a lady being a pain in the butt to one of the employees. The employee was great. The lady wanted more money for her plastic and stormed off when she couldn't negotiate a price. The people were kind and just wonderful. Keep up the great work. I'm traveling from La Habra to recycle here. Worth every bit of time! ‍ read more

After a year of just tossing our recycling in the garage, we went to the highly rated Sanchez Recycling. Upon arrival we were met by a young man who brought us two baskets for sorting, and even more baskets we he saw that we had seven bags of recyclables. The experience only became unpleasant when the manager, or possibly Sanchez himself, came out to unnecessarily "help us sort". It was immediately evident that we were either taking too long (ie: more than 15 minutes) or he was just annoyed by our presence. When assisting us, he was sorting some items incorrectly and continually calling most of our recycling garbage and repeating "I only pay CRV". I told him thats no problem, we don't care about the money, we just don't want all of this plastic ending up in landfills. He again stated it's garbage. He continued to pester us and remind us that most of our recycling is garbage every two minutes until we completed our visit (which lasted in total 30 minutes). His constant harassment made this a no go for my husband and I. Again, we could care less about the money and didn't mind packing up the items he didn't accept, but constantly being told our stuff is garbage and you are not paying for it as well as creating a sense of rush when literally there were maybe 2 other customers made me really dislike and disappointed with this establishment. If you have all of your stuff sorted and don't mind being rushed this is the place for you, but if you're like me and don't always have all of your stuff ready to go then definitely go somewhere else. I recommend OC Recycling at 1601 E. Edinger in Santa Ana. read more

In and out in less than 15 mins. Probably could have been faster if I wasn't so sore and slow. However, the Team there was efficient, fast, polite and reasonable with pay. Highly recommend this spot for your recycling needs. There's several parking spots, trash can, portable restroom. read more
