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. The entire process was quick, efficient, and hassle-free. I was in and out in no time, and I was paid on the spot. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be coming back. 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.

Also, the cashier made us wait while he watched TV and ate breakfast in the cashier's booth) Add to this that the place if filthy even by recycling center standards, and I'd say this place should be your last, worst option.

Said to come back the next morning. My cans were already crushed and clean, ready to unload into what would have been one 32 gal trash barrell. To drive back the next day would use more gas, plus much more of my time to drive back out there. He was rude and dismissive. They do not observe the open hours they advertise. I've gone there for many years. I started when they had coupons in the Long Beach newspaper. Time to find a new place. Any suggestions? UPDATE: Just went to "Sunset Recycling Center" 5951 Del Amo Blvd, Lakewood, CA 90713 (Del Amo and Woodruff). Excellent service. Pleasant, quiet environment. Does not reek like "Good Earth". Highly recommend. Only 12 minutes from Good Earth.

The guys operating this recycle shack are extremely rude. The one guy who took our recycling and weighed it was on the phone the entire time on a personal call. He was not paying attention to anything going on and then he started grabbing another customer's recycling and adding it to my order. We (the other customer and I) had to tell him about the mix up and he seemed irritated, yet it was his mistake. He just handed over some cash. No receipt, no documentation at all of what was turned in. Who knows if the amount of cash was correct. Meanwhile another guy working here was walking back and forth through the entire area moving bags of bottles and cans around while smoking a cigarette! Absolutely gross.

My father passed away a couple years ago and left behind a garage full of tools and broken…read moreappliances that he didn't get around to fixing. As the oldest in the family, it was my responsibility to clear it out. I didn't have the patience nor the time to organize a yard sale, so I searched online for a recycling center. What drew me to Wilmington Recyclers was the fact that they offer 7cents per pound for metal while other places give only 1 cent per pound. Also, compared to other places, they have the most extensive list of items that they will take: ewaste, appliances (large and small), and even car batteries For the metals, they have an in ground scale that weighs the car along with your haul, afterwards, you drop off the metals in a large metal bin, then reweigh you car. There are many different lines for different items, the process can be very overwhelming for a newbie. Robert helped guide us, and walked us through each area. I saw many families turning in their recyclables: a good lesson in reducing waste. FYI: Most staff speak little English, so look for Robert/Roberto if you don't speak Spanish.

I worked with corridor to segregate the recyclable cardstock items with the non-recyclable tags and ribbons associated to some of the products.

I was thankful to get them off my hands.

After the hurricane here in Texas, I had a dire need for electricity and internet. It was at this time that I realized that my hotspot was pretty much useless. My download speed averages around 4 Mbps; Upload is around 1Mbps. Human IT is offering hotspots from Mobile Citizen (who offers T-Mobile hotspots). So when I called Human IT about the problem, they have to refer me over to Mobile Citizen who then refers me over to T-Mobile. T-Mobile tells me they can't help me because I am not authorized business user with Mobile Citizen. So I call Mobile Citizen and then they tell me to call Human IT. Meanwhile each month I am paying $14.99 for the worst customer support of the ages. I was told that if I wanted a refund I had to talk to the manager. Of course the manager was in a meeting and "may" call me back. Of course he never did! So I have this hotspot that costed me $148 (with six months of service). My advice is don't buy your hotspot from Mobile Citizen. You will get what you pay for which is a paperweight.
