I've been trying to be better and recycle everything, treating this Earth well. Once a month, I like bringing my plastics and getting a little cash money for them. I usually fill a big black bag and it's around $15. On this last trip at Dejas, they could tell it was my friend and I's first time at the location and helped us a bit with our sorting. They were patient and helpful! Plus when our total was $18 and some change they just gave us a $20 as a first time customer bonus! So unnecessary but kind! We parked along the street as we knew it would be a quick trip in & out. It's located in a clear spot though and identified more clearly than similar places. We'll definitely be doing out recycling here from now on! It's way cleaner than other spots and such a better experience overall.

You can either just drop it off or get it weighed and get paid. If you choose to get it weighed, it can be a little confusing at first, but here are the steps. 1) drive up to the window (stay between the yellow lines) 2) attendant will come out 3) inform them what you are dropping off 4) attendant will inspect the recycling 5) they will weigh your car 6) drop off your recycling 7) come back to the window (stay between the yellow lines) 8) they will weigh your car again and provide you with a receipt 9) drive over to cashier window and get cash/check for your recycling The cashier window has papers taped all over the window, but someone is behind there! Hopefully it's just as smooth for you as it was for me!

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.

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 haven't seen any notice of what happened to this long-time Downtown L.A. business - no "Moved" sign on the front (garage) door (though there's a "For Sale" sign) - but no appearance of a new location nor of any "new"- reincarnation of this long-time L.A. business. As of 9-29-2019 the website is still active listing the Alameda Street address and operating hours, but it appears that Downtown Metals and Recycling Center is only a memory. If anyone has information on what happened to this Los Angeles recycling industry pioneer that WAS OPEN 24 HOURS/DAY for many years, please post it here as an update/tribute/acknowledgement of their role in shaping the arts district by providing a method for original arts district artists to pretty easily earn a couple extra bucks AND sometimes also BUY salvage items for their work, also for many construction workers with surplus copper wire, glass, etc. to make some decent extra cash as well as a wide variety of Angelenos including skid row street dwellers who tolerated the loud, crowded, dirty warehouse it operated in to drop off a wide range of recyclable materials for benefit of the environment and their wallets. YELP please confirm that this business hasn't moved or resurfaced and update the listing accordingly.
