My friend and I got about half of what we usually do at another center. It's also a bit more dirty than my usual spot which my friend didn't love. But~ it's a recycling center...these places are innately grimey lol. However, it's hard to find reliably open and convenient recycling centers in DTLA and this seems to be one. Another big plus, they have a few parking spots. It does seem to get busy at peak times though. My friend and I went during a weekday lunch hour and it was packkeeeed! We had to spend the whole hour there because the line was so long. So try to avoid lunch hour if you can to save yourself the headache.

I've tried a few places now and I think I finally found my recycling spot in Dajes Recycling…read moreCenter. The staff here is fast, efficient and kind! I've been trying to be better and recycle everything, treating this Earth well. Once a month, I like bringing my plastics and getting a little cash money for them. I usually fill a big black bag and it's around $15. On this last trip at Dejas, they could tell it was my friend and I's first time at the location and helped us a bit with our sorting. They were patient and helpful! Plus when our total was $18 and some change they just gave us a $20 as a first time customer bonus! So unnecessary but kind! We parked along the street as we knew it would be a quick trip in & out. It's located in a clear spot though and identified more clearly than similar places. We'll definitely be doing out recycling here from now on! It's way cleaner than other spots and such a better experience overall.

However, the 2 reviews were glowing and I decided to give it a shot even though this place is a little far from my house.

I will be definitely coming back to this location to recycle!

I got a quoted price range on Yelp. and they paid what they said they would, and the price that was offered was quite good. This isn't my usual experience with other metal recyclers. Probably because business is so competitive and price of copper is down, I have experienced with others is they quote a high price, and then offer a much lower price in person. If you are selling metal, the process is to park your truck in the lot, remove any plastic bags or extraneous material, check with the weighing office to understand how to separate your goods, put the metal into a flat dolly or plastic bin, and bring it back to be weighed and payed. Good Work!

Also they weighed everything while I was busy filling out papers for first time customers , therefore I didn't notice that they did 3 separate weigh ins for 3 water heaters that I brought. One had a huge tare ,bringing down weight significantly, not sure what was it for. Then they labeled one as white goods, bringing down the rate .
