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.

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 Though it looked simple and might be a little outdated, overall it was clean with no trash smells.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.

The nice guy had taught me that if I knew how many of each type I had, they could just pay out for those amounts. That's why I had everything written down on the outside of each bag. The "new guy" told me, "in the bins", and when I tried to explain what I had going, he just talked over me and said, "IN THE BINS MA'AM!". I tried to understand, or get him to explain, such as, was there a new owner? He never answered that instead just said, "limit of 15 for each type". So, I left. He was so rude! I thought the law was that if you pay a 5c deposit on a bottle, you're supposed to get 5c back?!

No more. I tried to…read moreleave this review via my phone and yelp glitched out and the review didn't post, but instead of taking it as a sign to not bother, fired up my laptop to tell you to beware this place. When the former punk rock listening guy (who has the dog) was there, I had no problems. I would usually get at least $8- $12+ for my bi-monthly collection of aluminum cans, glass, and plastic water bottles. The last time I went to this location, the punk rock guy was gone and there were three new guys there and I only got less than $5. I went back today at 3pm hoping that maybe the dog owning guy was back but I think he's gone. The three guys were there. There were several orange-fence bins full of drinking water bottles in front of the pay-out stand as if they had been abandoned by other angry customers. The employees were arguing with the person in front of me because the customer wasn't able to see the screen for the scale and so there was no way for the customer to verify the weight. They watched me take two full over-sized garbage bags out of my trunk and pour each of them into a fence-bin. Then as soon as they finished with the customer in front of me, said they needed to close for about an hour and were done paying out "for now". It was already 3pm and the place closes at 4 anyways. I said I was leaving and they responded rudely "okay bye" but yelled at me when I took the two bins of *my* recycling back towards my car, so I could just dump everything into my trunk to re-sort at home later for another place (as they had watched me empty and discard my original trash bags, I think they were expecting me to just leave the CRV recycling in their bins). As I was dumping the bins directly into my trunk, they told another customer [I'm] "always crazy like that." Wow. This is only the second time I've interacted with them, and though I suspect I was not paid fairly the first time, I never said anything to them about that. Way to disrespect me in front of my community members. I would rather just give my "CRV money" to the city of Torrance by putting my cans and bottles directly in the curb-pick up bin then deal with the current people who work there.
