Tried out this location as I FINALLY got around to recycling all the items I've been harboring over the last couple years! (Whoops!) Anaheim Recycling is a small shack just past the Liquor store in the back right nook of a shopping plaza. My partner and I had actually driven around to the other side of the plaza before finding where it was on the map. There's plenty of parking around, and the system is set up easily and efficiently where you can grab as many cans as you need and fill them up with your items. They do prefer that you separate your recycling beforehand so that it's easier and quicker to submit to them--this also keeps any wait times down! They also have a couple trash bins in the front for any bags or things. As a note: Almost all the bins say "Glass Only". Don't worry about this and as long as one bin has all the same type of recycling, you'll be okay! Once they've all been weighed out and reviewed, you'll get a receipt to redeem at the liquor store in front. Be sure to cash it the same day! The woman at the liquor store was very kind and quickly helped us. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend! read more

First of all the wonderful beautiful photos you have posted on here with the models that probably got paid nothing to pose how beautiful and clean it looks. Perhaps a lawyer should look into your false advertising and misrepresentation of your business. Also the residents of Anaheim should file a class action lawsuit against this recycling center who has no professionalism, lack of business code of conduct and ethical standards and practice and also putting humans health in danger and pose a serious health risk to all who have come here to turn in their cans and plastic. Your infectious disease recycling center should be consider a contaminated toxic environment which those who work and run the place need to be shut down for participating in unethical behavior that has caused biological consequences to even being near your site. The stench of a dumpster that's been in the heat for years without being cleaned obviously all party's involve with gloves owner, workers know if they touch those bins they know it contains biological waste that touching it would cause harm to the public. You have no right to be open for business and nor should you ever be able to run a business anywhere after seeing how you operate this site. The trash cans smell like S*** and Piss and that means and contamination and bacteria all over the place. I do know how you people sleep at night knowing that your defrauding the community and when ask to weigh a bin you only told me how much weight there is on the bin. That means you're not even ethical enough to allow your customer to see what your tear is on the bin when ask. When was the last time that weight machine was calibrated and checked to see if it was accurate. This was no trick to the trades kinda day. You also are set in a area where you can easily be trapped by all these other people who look out for this location because of their other ghost business which does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the employee and other associations are obvious that by the grace of god in which I shall prey is that hopefully the light from above will burn through your wicked behavior! read more

Anaheim Recycling - Recycling Center Near Me - Anaheim, California

Our favorite Recycling location! Fast service and Efficient. Associates are friendly and personable!!!

I drive from Cypress to this location just to recycle! They just upgraded all their trash cans so that they're sturdier and newer looking. In my opinion, they provide the most cash back! Ask them any questions about how to sort/what they accept. They have always helped me out with questions re: different colored glasses, alcohol vs non alcoholic glass, and all the other random things we try to recycle. They give you a receipt to redeem at the liquor store right next to it. That's where you get your cash refund from, and the woman at that liquor store is always so friendly. Highly recommend! :) read more

I have never been to a recycling center before, this was my first time. I had one bag and really didn't know how it worked. The people in the line was kind enough to tell me the process. When it was my turn I apologized to the worker for my one bag It was a young guy, he was very friendly and let me know that it was ok. They gave me 4 dollars and change for the one bag of plastic which is what I was expecting. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

I was trying this new location since it was on my way home. I was told they were going on lunch. The sign says lunch at 1:00pm. I arrived at 12:45. Horrible service and very unkind and rude. 15 min until their lunch break and they refused to help me. I hope they learn some customer service. It's disappointing! Or the man could have kindly excused himself and said he was sorry he couldn't help me. But he was unbelievably rude. I couldn't believe it. Try other locations in the area that are much more pleasant with kind people. read more

I am so happy that I found this place! I have lived all over OC and used several recycle establishments. This one is my favorite so far! Hardworking TEAM to help you out quickly, canopy shade, clean upkeep, plenty of recycle bins to go around, and immediate cash payment. My applause to each gentleman working kindly & efficiently today in this crazy, hot weather! Thank you! read more

Not open, not even here anymore? We drove all the way here only to see there wasn't a recycling center at all here. Am I missing something?

Closed EARLY. Running errands on a Sunday afternoon w/ bags of recyclables in the trunk & backseat of my car. I had just missed all the RePlanet locations which close at 4:30 so I was relieved to find a recycling center nearby that was open until 5pm. I rushed over& pulled up @ 4:50. Just when I start unloading bags from my trunk the attendant walked out & said "Im closed". I said "oh no. the website says you're open until 5:00pm". he replied "I closed at 4:45" NOT HAPPY so I downloaded the help out JUST to post this review. The silver lining: I got to listen to the mariachi music he's been playing vfor the last 30 minutes. read more

Nothing really good nor bad about this place. It's a dirty little recycling center in the back of a parking lot, like all other recycling centers I found out - yes they sometimes they close early. But a worker there explained to me that it's only because they run out of space to put the bottles/cans. read more

These guys work so hard! Super friendly and helpful. They've even been threatened by crazy people wielding knives but they keep a positive attitude. Quick and easy cash recycling. Make sure you separate your aluminum cans, plastic bottles and glass bottles before coming to save some time! Don't forget to tip your helpers! read more

Don't go here. The workers were not friendly and the one guy seemed to have attitude. The prices were horrible. Went here on a whim because Garcia's our normal place was closed, never again. If I would have know I would only have gotten $28 for 7 bags of plastic, 3 bags of glass and 2 bags of cans I would have just waited and went elsewhere. They will rip you off and don't seem care. read more

I love this recycling center. I've only been there twice but it has been super quick both times. They stack two bins and weigh them and it saves so much time compared to other recycling centers I have been to. They are also closer to my house. I actually found this place because I went to my old location and there were so many people waiting the guy told me politely that he wouldn't be able to get to me until after lunch. This place doesn't have the manual machines that people like to enter their items one at a time. I would rather save my time and get bulk weighing. One thing I love is that there are so many bins that I haven't had to wait for bins to become available. Just a heads up, they said they are closed on Wednesdays. read more

I liked Anaheim recycling when it was next to El Super. They moved it on Euclid with no notice posted as to where it was going to be relocated. This was very foolish, because they will lose a lot of business and make their customers unhappy. I had to look on Yelp to find the new location. I would have given it four stars except for this annoying move without notification to its customers. This just happened within the last few weeks. My wife and I have been going there for 3 years.

Very slow service. Workers took 2 breaks while I waited. Workets put a friend in line in front. Then everyone had to wait while they sorted through a bunch of unsorted stuff. Called customer service. They just made excuses. Go somewhere else. read more

Horrible prices, sketchy people, nasty people, and horrible horrible prices!!!!! There were 3 guys there and all of them take their breaks together, it was just me and my 2 daughters, and the place had all kinds of sketchy people coming in and all around! After having us wait 10 minutes and he wanted to sign for the money, I looked at wat I was signing and was like naw this can't be right. I tried to show him the coupon I had he said the prices change all the time(In his words I'm stealing your money). I was like wth, I didn't sign anything he just handed me the money, I called the (800) # and it's seems as if the number is connected to someone's cell phone because she didn't have any problem solving customer service skills, she didn't care that there isn't any documentation for money that has to be accounted for, the guy who helped me tried to have an attitude in a way to intimidate me, I'm petite but I'm not scared of anyone but God. Ultimately nothing was resolved, I slammed my door in his face because I'm not gonna waste my time arguing with you if there isn't going to be a resolution. Not only that but they don't request IDs and everywhere else I have went they always request an Id no matter how much money I get, and I'm actually happy that they didn't get my information.... Don't go there and allow them to benefit off of your money!!!!!!!!!! Shadiest place I have been in a long time and all I wanted to do was recycle the cans for my kids because they had got them and put them together and sadly they didn't get what they should've but it's a good lesson, to ask for prices before even removing a can out! As you can tell I'm really bothered by this because it was so minuet, yet they were acting as if that's Their money and they will not allow it to be compromised... Ugghh!!!! read more
