I always had a feeling I wasn't getting paid fairly, but since I don't know much about recycling rates, I wasn't sure. A friend recommended FLOREZ Recycling in Irwindale, and wow -- my gut feeling was right all along! I received so much more money for my bottles and cans compared to before. FLOREZ Recycling is a small family-owned business, and they were incredibly kind and helpful. They even helped me organize my bottles, which I truly appreciated. They felt honest, fair, and welcoming. I now combine my recycling trips with my Costco shopping, which makes it super convenient. The location can be a little difficult to find at first because it's located in the alley behind the main buildings, but it is absolutely worth it.
