Just check their website before you go so you don't waste a trip *NOTE = For Household recycling, they are really only opened Wednesdays - Saturday's. I showed up on Monday looking like an idiot and had to come back again on Wednesday. Someone posted a picture on yelp with the hours and I think they are accurate. General Process: 1.) You turn into the center 2.) Household Recycling is immediately on the left 3.) You back into a designated spot and open your trunk 4.) Fill out the recycling form (Name, Address, Signature, etc.) Pretty painless and I thought it was great. If it's not out of your way and you want to try to help the environment rather than throwing it in the trash, this is the place to go for Fremont Residents.

Always a lovely trip that makes you feel good!…read more My daughter and I have been coming here for close to 15 years now. We are Sunnyvale residents, I have always felt so lucky to have such an clean and organized recycle center close by. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. They always explain the rates and count everything with you to ensure you understand the value of your recycled goods. As a Girl Scout troop leader/volunteer mom for 8 years; they were always so help and obliging to my request for an annual tour of the center with the girls - to earn their recycle & be green badge It's beyond me why anyone would have a negative experience or bad review - this place is literally paradise of the recycle world. Perhaps they have never been to the others in the Bay Area. Bonus: if you are a Sunnyvale or Mountain View resident you can pick up free wood chips and compost dirt for your garden. They provide two gallons for free per week with proof of residency.

Santa Clara County's official .gov website is telling SCC residents that this is a station that…read morewill help you with recyclables. Upon visiting, the clerks will tell you they only serve specifically Sunnyvale residents and no one else. 1. Go to https://hhw.sccgov.org/home 2. Search for "Drop-Off Locations" 3. Click on "Battery and Fluorescent Bulb Drop-Off Locations" as an example 4. It will bring you to a map with recyclable location icons and lists SMaRT Station Sunnyvale as an eligible place WITHOUT mentioning any residency restrictions. Also, good luck trying to reach anyone by phone. I spent a good 15 minutes calling multiple times but to no avail. No one is accepting Fluorescent Bulb recycling anymore it seems. Home Depot won't take it, neither will Lowe's. Also the map is incredibly outdated, there's a lot of hardware stores listed like Ace Hardware that closed up shop many years ago. If people can't find out a way to properly recycle these materials it just increases the likelihood they will trash it and thus harming our environment and overall community. Santa Clara County and city of Sunnyvale need to figure this out.
