    My recycle Reciept
    Kat K.

    Sergio and Eric and Joanna made this the very best recycling experience ever. This is my first time here. I had hands on help from everyone I encountered. The most positive, professional, fun, and awesome team here. It felt so welcoming and great to come here. You get good bang for your buck I ran away with $22 and some change and it was a bunch of cardboard, some cans, glass, and plastic bottles. I never want to go anywhere else anymore this is my new favorite recycling spot. They are so wonderful totally made my whole day! Thank you thank you thank you!

    This place is a scam! They let me unload 300lbs of stainless steel and than told me they only give 6 cents per pound. For top grade pure stainless steel!! I'll never go back here

    Won't be back.

    See all

    The best recycling business around the 605 and 210 freeways. Professional place despite always being busy with customers.

    6 AM opening hours are so convenient to get my recycling done in the early morning hours. Convenient in and out and parking.

    SA Recycling

    (21 reviews)

    Cleaned up the garage and had a few things to recycle. Looked it up on Yelp and found this place…read more First time here and was a bit confused how things worked here in the beginning. The lady at the window explained to us the process but I wish she could be more patient. We had to dump our stuffs on our own. After almost 30-40 minutes, we got our ticket to cash out and guess how much? $3.75!!!!! Not sure if it's worth it to spent time and energy to come here unless you have trucks of metals to recycle.

    The day I visited SA Recycling was a sad day - it was the day I had to retire the very first…read morevehicle I had driven since high school. In order to start the vehicle retiring process and receive either $1,000 or $1,500 from the program called Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) Vehicle Retirement (sponsored by BAR aka Bureau of Automotive Repair), then the vehicle owner must meet the following eligibility requirements: [Vehicle retirement for $1,000 - https://www.bar.ca.gov/consumer/consumer-assistance-program/vehicle-retirement-1000] - The program is for consumers with household incomes EXCEEDING the income eligibility requirement. #1 - Must be the registered owner of the vehicle with the vehicle title issued in owner's name #2 - Must not have retired another vehicle through CAP as a sole owner OR more than two vehicles as a joint owner within the past 12 months. #3 - The vehicle must have failed its most recent Smog Check inspection. #4 - Additional registration and vehicle requirements - see the BAR website for more details. [Vehicle retirement for $1,500 - https://www.bar.ca.gov/consumer/consumer-assistance-program/vehicle-retirement-1500] - The program is for consumers with household incomes MEETING the income eligibility requirement (must have a gross household income that is less than or equal to 225% of the Federal poverty level). * Same as #1, #2, and #4 above with a slight difference for #3. * For $1,500 incentive, the vehicle must have failed its most recent Smog Check inspection OR completed a Smog Check inspection (pass or fail) within 180 days prior to applying. [Application] I began my vehicle retiring process by filling out the application. Once BAR approves the process via mail (which can take up to 10 business days), then the vehicle owner needs to bring the approved letter (aka letter of eligibility) to BAR-contracted dismantler (in this case it is SA Recycling). I came to this location in Irwindale because SA Recycling in El Monte didn't show up on the BAR website. Vehicle owner will need to find their own ride getting back home. [Process]: I initially parked my car in a designated parking area and walked up to the office window. I brought all of documents (driver's license, letter of eligibility from BAR, and vehicle's title aka pink slip) and had to fill out two more forms in person. Please note that CAP ID # is on the letter of eligibility, LOE means letter of eligibility, and EFMP means Enhanced Fleet Modernization Program (I believe $1,000 incentive = no and $1,500 incentive = yes but just ask the staff to confirm). After I submitted both forms, the staff instructed one person to drive the car to the giant weight scale. After following few simple instructions like stepping on the gas pedal while the car is in parked position, the staff said just pull the car up and park the car around the corner. Afterward it was my chance to say my final goodbye, left the key in the car, finalized the paperwork process, and received a paper check on the spot. Overall the process took approximately 50 minutes. RIP 1999 Honda CR-V (2007 to 2024). The overall vehicle retirement process was alright.
