I received continuous deliveries including four huge Amazon canvas boxes containing more shipments. I worked with corridor to segregate the recyclable cardstock items with the non-recyclable tags and ribbons associated to some of the products. I had already tried two other recycling companies in Long Beach and they refused to take any of it. Although I did not receive any money for these usable printed items. I was thankful to get them off my hands.

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.

You sort your own cans and bottles, plastic, glass and aluminum into handy bins which they provide. Once everything is sorted, you proceed to the scales and it goes pretty quickly. You need ID and they pay cash. I've been going there for many years and never had any trouble. The working staff is friendly, but mostly they leave you alone to do your unloading and sorting, which is great.

They also provide containers to sort everything, which made the process even more convenient. It was my first time visiting, and the associates were incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful.

If you're looking for an easy, painless way to recycle your bottles and cans, I highly recommend this place!

What do you do with starter fluid, old paints and stains, all sorts of cans of this and that? EDCO Recycling in Signal Hill is what you do! Yesterday, I went, with the back of my SUV filled with assorted fluids and headed for EDCO. When I arrived at 10:00am, the line was already blocks long, extending around the corner of Spring Street , almost to Atlantic Avenue! Yikes! There are lots of street attendants directing folks. The one I spoke with assured me that the line moves quickly. He was right! This is a very efficiently run process, only available two Saturdays each month (check their website). When you pull into the disposal area, several men open your back hatch and quickly remove all of the items that you need to safely dispose of. And then, you are on your way...with the wonderful feeling of accomplishment that cleaning out AND properly disposing potentially dangerous items brings! Hint: Find out what time they are opening (usually 8 or 9am) and get there early.

Efficient. They do a great job getting you in and out fast…read more Friendly, service oriented people there.

Been here a few times to to dispose, in an eco-friendly manner, old electronics and paints…read more While most visits have been relatively painless, my most recent this past Saturday was very trying. First off, the entrance line extended about six cars deep into Gaffey street. On top of that, it was literally moving at a snails pace. Every time I have been here prior, and including this visit, there are 3 attendants unloading for you, always asking you to NOT get out of your vehicle. But for some reason, this visit took an exceptionally long time. 45 minutes to be exact from start to finish. I would say, don't go on a Saturday at 11:30 a.m. It's never been that time consuming before so I guess timing is everything...

No more. I tried to…read moreleave this review via my phone and yelp glitched out and the review didn't post, but instead of taking it as a sign to not bother, fired up my laptop to tell you to beware this place. When the former punk rock listening guy (who has the dog) was there, I had no problems. I would usually get at least $8- $12+ for my bi-monthly collection of aluminum cans, glass, and plastic water bottles. The last time I went to this location, the punk rock guy was gone and there were three new guys there and I only got less than $5. I went back today at 3pm hoping that maybe the dog owning guy was back but I think he's gone. The three guys were there. There were several orange-fence bins full of drinking water bottles in front of the pay-out stand as if they had been abandoned by other angry customers. The employees were arguing with the person in front of me because the customer wasn't able to see the screen for the scale and so there was no way for the customer to verify the weight. They watched me take two full over-sized garbage bags out of my trunk and pour each of them into a fence-bin. Then as soon as they finished with the customer in front of me, said they needed to close for about an hour and were done paying out "for now". It was already 3pm and the place closes at 4 anyways. I said I was leaving and they responded rudely "okay bye" but yelled at me when I took the two bins of *my* recycling back towards my car, so I could just dump everything into my trunk to re-sort at home later for another place (as they had watched me empty and discard my original trash bags, I think they were expecting me to just leave the CRV recycling in their bins). As I was dumping the bins directly into my trunk, they told another customer [I'm] "always crazy like that." Wow. This is only the second time I've interacted with them, and though I suspect I was not paid fairly the first time, I never said anything to them about that. Way to disrespect me in front of my community members. I would rather just give my "CRV money" to the city of Torrance by putting my cans and bottles directly in the curb-pick up bin then deal with the current people who work there.

At its core, a very simple and reliable recycling service!…read more Aim to organize your glass bottles, aluminum cans, and plastic bottles/gallons prior to coming over so you're in and out. 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.

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.

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 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!

I had a good experience recycling there today. I read some scary reviews about being ripped off -…read morewas not the case for me. I estimate my payout based on quantity of aluminum and glass cans I had and CA CRV fee per each. I had about 30-60 of each; it was measured by weight. The payout matched my estimates. I received an itemized receipt and correct amount of cash. I had under 2 lbs of each type and their containers weigh 8.1 lbs. After they weigh my items in their container, 8.1 is subtracted. Since the payout matches my estimate - I think the weighing process is correct too. I also had a couple of plastic bottles on hand and they just hand counted them and paid me correctly. The employees work quick and the job is dirty so no one chats or smiles (understandably). One worker gave me brief pointers on how to sort my stuff. Others just gestured and silently keept up their quick pace. I plan to comeback. Note: limited parking. I came in on Saturday at opening and found plenty parking. But since it shares the driveway with In-N-Out, I wouldn't come in at lunch or dinner ours to avoid traffic jams.
