I can't say anything really good or bad about Bestway. It's more or less what I expect from a…read morerecycling center. It's kind of dirty, they weigh your recyclables, and they pay you cash. They do sometimes have hand sanitizer but I keep my own in my car as well as wipes. They're located in the Gardena Market's parking lot so parking can be hit or miss. I've not had a bad experience coming here but I don't know what they could do for me to call them excellent. They're just a convenient and competent recycling center. I couldn't say how their rates compare because I go them mainly for the convenience.

I have always been trying to find a recycling place close to me since the one near Crenshaw Blvd…read moreand Artesia closed down years ago. Happened to Google and found "Bestway Recycling" the other day. I was happy I did. The place sat at the corner of the Gardena Supermarket. Service was fast. A person was cleaning the area when I went there. Though it looked simple and might be a little outdated, overall it was clean with no trash smells. A very tall guy helped me, and I was there in and out. Very fast service and friendly people. This might be my new recycling place!

The process is smooth. You sort and organize your recycling materials (plastic, aluminum, and…read moreglass). Then you get paid for it for the amount you bring. The exchange rate is moderately fair and equally comparative to its competitors nearby. Also, there is decent amount of parking when you go when there isnt a lot of people. Overall, whenever I needed some few bucks, this place always held it down for me.

I have clients' files with their personal IDs, clients' medical records, my old TAX files, the company's records, old Fax records files, old DVDs and CDs, and my past school's personal information. They have all types of shredding machines for paper, discs, old cassette tapes, old VHSs, hard drives, films, etc., at their facility. You can drop off or make an appointment to be a witness to the shredding process yourself. Their prices are less than half the price of the UPS Store shredding service. Even if you have a lot of everyday shredding items, I highly recommend Shredding Place. They're exceptionally trustworthy. To be frank, they did not ask me to write and post my honest review on Yelp.

This place has its own sanitation station, but I highly recommend bringing your own gloves and hand sanitizer. Aluminum and plastic bottles go into the orange net baskets (but should be separated). Large plastic gallons should be placed on top of small/standard water bottles. Glass bottles go into the grey plastic bins. If you come right before they open at 9AM, you'll likely run into 1-2 parties trying to be in and out of there as well. I always run into families here, but the community as a whole is pretty good about not hogging containers/baskets.
