    Recycling Center
    Janet K.

    Positive experiences whenever I come by drop off excess amounts of materials like cardboard boxes and plastics. It's convenient Burbank has this facility for the public. They have bins specifically for each materials like cardboards, newspapers, plastics, styrofoam with images of examples in case you are unsure of which materials are suitable for the bins. The service workers that take care of the materials are friendly as well as the Box Office/ Cashier employees.

    Really enjoyed the convenience of using the Burbank Recycle center since grocery store centers often shut down or aren't open. This is what happened to me one morning and with a car full of cans in Burbank, quickly googled the next nearest better and Google brought me here! It's a sizable complex and take much more than just cans and bottles (see website for the breakdown). There is also parking! There are gray, Empty trash bins that you first separate your glass, aluminum and plastic into. Once complete, drag the bins to door 20 and a staffer will weigh what you bring. As he weighs, there's a public sink to wash your hands and use sanitizer. Once complete, the staffer will give you a ticket to redeem your cash. You then take it to the ticket window at the office bungalow right by the parking and the Cashier will cash you out (and is very helpful). It was an easy process and have great hours. I'll definitely eat back, it's very convenient to the 5 freeway!

    Great opportunity for you to make some extra cash and recycle your item that otherwise you wouldn't be able to. Please consider recycling everything that has a CRV on the bottle or tab. Today, I recycled 4 items and got back .60 ! Some may laugh but that's more than what I had.

    Clear instructions, helpful staff, quick when not too busy. The only drawback is the onsite parking. It is quite limited and crowded

Our plumber brought his apprentice over who knew there are 3 different price levels. Pure copper pipe. The parts that connect that have solder. And the brass parts Upon arriving we thought there would be an entrance in the back alley. Nope. Customers unload in front on San Fernando Rd. An attendant will give you garbage containers to haul metal in. We had 3 types so 3 bins. When the man at the weigh station put the copper on I was watching the screen and took a photo. (Our plumbers apprentice had warned us about this place and said the best price was in Simi or Sunland...too far and too long for our meager amount) Then he weighed the other two while we were talking with another staff member. (Shouldn't have been distracted while conducting business) The guy at the scale shows us the total and I realize the Copper 1 was now much lighter than the original weight! I showed him the photo on my phone and he corrected it! In hindsight I should have had all 3 weighed again. But we were tired, dirty and the whole process pretty depressing and I didn't want to make a huge deal out of it. So consumer beware! It's a good service they provide and somewhat convenient location. But be aware and pay attention!

I volunteered to redeem the munched plastic bottles, rattling cans, and occasional bottle we found while tidying up the neighborhood. I was pleasantly surprised. Glendale Recycling Center is efficiently run and the service is great. The staff helps move the lines along and everyone is very nice and hardworking. And if I read the prices correctly, GRC pays a few cents more for plastics + cans than those SuperA grocery store guys in a delivery truck. I know this because I left the SuperA guy in Cypress Park when he decided to take his lunch 15 mins. early and close up shop. Glad I looked to YELP and found this place in a snap without wasting time. Also, this place is almost like an all-in-one recycling center where you can not only get CRV money, but also drop off old electronics, all those Amazon cardboard boxes, and some other things that you can't throw into your regular trash bin. (Some items they don't accept, but they'll direct you to where you can take them.) Since this was a pleasant & relatively painless experience, I just might make a daily habit out our Earth Day practice and return every now and then.
