The only day I'm available to recycle it rains... Just great, I went to other recycling centers and they were all closed. I took a chance because I'm tired of having all these cans jingle jangle in my car I went to check it out and lucky me they were open. I had a 32gal tote just about filled up and got back about $17. If this was my first stop it would have been totally worth the trip. Good customer service, and worthwhile (if you have enough recyclables) Pro tip drive around back so you don't have to lug everything through the front parking lot read more

Came here for months before a new employee took over. He's almost there everyday. Looks like he lives there. Sometimes he's without a shirt and sometimes he is fixing his old blazer. I tried this place once after I noticed the other employee wasn't there no more and when I say, never again, I will never come here again after being ripped off. He kept checking my recycles in the light like that were hundred dollar bills. Had a face as he calculated in his had and then onto the calculated as if he was saying five dollars for me and one dollar for her. That day I took thee most I've ever taken and more glass. And what I got was the same amount I usually got. I couldn't collected all my recycles and take it all back so I just decided I will never come here again. I started going else where and I get ten dollars more than I have ever. So beware and be careful. read more

This place makes it easy to turn mom's collection of old cans sitting in the backyard for 30 years into cold hard cash. Sort it, weigh it, and get paid. As easy as that and in a convenient location. read more

Today, 01/18/2026 at around 1:15 pm, I went to recycle my glass bottles, aluminum cans, and plastic bottles. I noticed there was a different employee working today. He looked angry. He didn't even greet or talk to the customers. There was an Asian man with his elderly father recycling, but they didn't know where all the orange recycling nets were and didn't understand exactly which containers the glass or plastic bottles were supposed to go into. The recycling attendant/employee got furious and waved his arms around angrily yelling and telling the other people to let him do his job. He wasn't helpful at all. He was also puncturing larger gallon plastic bottles with a pocket knife in his hand. He was an African-American in his mid 40's. He seemed very hostile and aggressive. I will not be going there again ever. I'm not putting myself or my family in dangerous situations. It's too bad, JB recycling was our go to recycling place. Not anymore! read more

I brought in a lot of aluminum and plastic over the past few weeks. Every time I came I received great customer service from JR and Jorge...Also, JR always has great music playing, he's a really cool guy! read more

The flyer stated items that they will take. I placed 2 monitors, a car battery and a hot water heater. They took everything except the hot water heater. The flyer states that they would pick up hot water heaters, in fact there is a photo of a hot water heater right on the flyer. Now, what am I supposed to do with the hot water heater? read more

I have been recycling as this location for a long time, sometimes switching between this location and another depending on where my routes are for that day. JB Recycling is located "next to" Vons and it tends to be easy in and easy out. It's not often crowded when I go, so I appreciate their efficiency and "cleanliness." Yes, I actually said "cleanliness." I have been recycling for a majority of my life and this location is a lot cleaner than most. Even the baskets and bins for recycling containers are in "good working" condition. There are other recycling places where those containers have "seen better days." One can either count their total number of containers or go by weight. There was one time I arrived and it was "closed," but it was not lunch time yet, or closing hour. I called the number posted on the container and someone picked up right away. They called the person working that day and got back to me quickly. I appreciate the responsiveness and timeliness. read more

The worker is extremely difficult to talk to and eventually was just blatantly racist and sexist. I did not expect this service at a recycling place. read more

Not located ON Lemon, but east on La Puente 1/2 block from Lemon stoplight. These guy are quick, helpful and pay a fair price on the spot. Staff will help unload. Plenty of space to back your vehicle in to unload into their bins. Open 7 days a week. read more

Thanks fellow Yelpers, but its gonna be a hard no for me on a next time for this one. The 'helpful' guy (who unfortunately had nostril- squinching) BO just felt it necessary to make comments like "I thought there was gonna be more plastic," and "is this your first time recycling?" Really guy? There's no signage clearly discerning which items are recyclable, and going off common belief, any plastic, glass or metal item with a recycle symbol AND number is a recyclable item. Maybe add clear signage and labels before asking a demeaning question of, "is this your first time?" I couldve asked you if you have ever showered before, but I didn't. It's called manners, professionalism, among others. Moreover, less than $8 for all the heartache and gas. Complete waste of time and energy read more

I am new to the Walnut area, a transplant from Long Beach. This is a great find behind Vons in the loading dock area. It was not crowded, there were plenty of recycle bins to use, and the attendant was very friendly and efficient in weighing, my recyclables that I brought in. Definitely going to be my go in the future. read more

Every time I place Computer items out for pick up, they never show up. They put flyers on your mailbox and this last one said will be in your area on Friday, July 26 starting at 7 AM. I placed computer monitors out the night before with their tag on it and there it sits. read more

Always come on sundays when I'm not working they close at 3pm usually I come at 1pm it's less busy. Most of the time it's just me. Staff isn't overly nice but they're not rude. They get the job done and I don't expect the 5 star ritz type of service here. As long as I can get in do what I came and leave with no issues then that is a success. I've been to other places and they are soooo picky from the type of glass or plastic. So I love it here because they don't question what I bring. I just grab the containers dump my bottle and they'll weigh and tell me my total. Super easy and fast! read more

We have been recycling for more than 20+ years and this is absolutely the worst place, we recycle the same number of bags every time so we pretty much know how much it would be, but today 4/6/2023 between 10-11, the guy paid us only HALF of what it's suppose to be ( didn't get his name ) i understand that times are hard but someone, somehow has to speak up read more

Super fast and easy, u dont need to spend about 1 hour trying to get help. Guys here are super chill and they do give you the most money for the recycles. read more

The people that I've encountered here were always nice. I have not been to other recycling centers yet, so I really don't know if I'm getting my moneys worth in recyclables though. read more

Very nice people, and seems to be very honest with their weights. Sadly, you can't even look at the pounds but the money seemed right

A young man by the name of Hugo was the attendant at this time. Here's mild mannered with a cool demeanor. He actually allowed me to have the bottles counted individually to get the most value. He did not give me a fuss, as that is how customer service should be. I can appreciate that. I will definitely be back. Hopefully, he will be working when I do. Great experience! read more

This company left a note on my gate for electronic recycling. The note wasn't very clear and offered free recycling for electronic with a list of items and then other smaller side lists of some items you had to pay for. I was concerned it was a scam and they would just take the money but they actually came and picked up the stuff I left out. It would be nice if there was a website or phone number to call to get more information about the pick ups and the items that have to be paid for . Hoping this review will help someone else utilize the service and get some of that junk out of their house! read more

This recycling center rips off customers by skimming off up to 30% for themselves. Do not go there, and I have issued a formal complaint against this business as fraudulent. read more

I recycled alot, and this has to be the worst experience I ever had. I'm sure not all employees are like this, last time it was more fair and efficient. So whoever his name was, the employee working today 04.27.22 at 12:30 pm, the guy was so slow and seemed to hate his job. Even though he was helpful with my plastic, he weighed it all inside where I couldn't see, and walked all the way around to write some little notes on a notebook I couldn't see, whilst seeming confused on the weight of each container ( no signs on them except a few had them), and he seemed to forget exactly what the weight was when I asked him. I have taken a car full in the similar quantities before and it was always 60-75$, but now ofcourse, it was only 43$ and he couldn't provide me with a receipt either, he told me to take a picture even though I told him my phone died. Horrible service and I got scammed put of my money. Save yourself money and avoid places like this because they don't care. read more

Quick and easy, not too many people yet. The girls there were very helpful in letting you know which items can be recycled. read more

This business has gone through several employees this year. Jose, who seems to be there every time I recycle, even on weekends, is always pleasant and business-like. I hope they give him some time off so he sticks around. It's not as crowded as it used to be when rePlanet was set up there. It might be that people don't know it's there, stuck in a corner behind the stores. It's nice to have a reliable place to quickly dispose of my bottles and cans. With the holidays coming up, I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas. read more

I had a great experience there! Mary was very helpful, sweet, and quick with the transaction. She was also knowledgeable about the regulatory policies in regards to recycling and didn't mind explaining better ways to recycle and reuse. Definitely coming back. read more

After very bad and shady dealings with the attendant a few months ago (bad weights resulting in him offering about HALF of what I was supposed to get. This happened twice with 2 different people) I had the pleasure of dealing with JOSE this trip. I explained my past experiences. He was very understanding, and helped me with a lot of good information so I could be even more prepared on my next visit. This guy is a keeper, and should be commended on his service and professionalism. read more

Terrible business!!! I have contacted this business repeatedly to ask them to STOP coming onto my private property and to STOP posting their flyers on my home! They have damaged my home in a dozen different places by using adhesive tape to post their flyers and ripping off a chunk of paint every single time! I posted a "No Posting "sign finally, after multiple phone calls, conversations, text messages and voicemails AND they STILL POSTED another flyer today and damaged more of my home! I'm calling an attorney tomorrow and the Better Business Bureau! read more

Not much you can do wrong for a small recycling center. It was convenient. It was local. The process was fast. What more could you want?

Goku was most helpful. Had my recyclables all presorted which really expedited the whole process. Thank you!

I haven't been to this recycling center since all the Re-Planet went out of business. Came here today and had a pleasant experience with Hugo. Nice guy... made the process super quick and easy. Keep up the customer service and my whole family shall return. read more

I'm glad to see they were able to replace the closed recycling center with this one. Easy access location, fair prices, quick in and out service. Would recommend. read more

Mari was very knowledgeable and helped us with all of our recycling questions. Great customer service, efficient and very helpful. I appreciate all the work they do :) read more

I like coming here that one guy Hugo is very helpful and quick he is a great worker I will be coming back
