Am I going to give El Cerrito Recycling Center a bad review...NO! I was able to recycle used motor oil, regular AA/AAA batteries, Bluetooth Speakers, Computer monitors, Computer towers, printers, scanners, perhaps anything I am allowed to recycle at this location. I have been going to the El Cerrito Recycling Center since 1998. This place has gone through a lot of changes especially the parking spaces (yes I will continuing mention that). Thankfully nobody has DARE to trash this location and it is a good thing that they manage to keep the area in great condition. Keep the great work!

I went here the other day to dump the back seat from car. I am making my car into a 'racecar' so I…read moredon't need the backseats anymore. The friendly woman working the scales told me the minimum entry fee is $40. I almost didn't go in because of the high price. A lower price would encourage more people to go here and discourage illegal dumping. I did however pay the entry fee and dump my stuff. I don't want to get in trouble with anyone for illegal dumping, I don't want to hurt the environment, and car seats are way too big for me to put in my dumpster. So I feel good about not littering. One thing I like about this place is that I got to find out how much my car weighs. When I was a kid my dad would take us to the Richmond dumps, and I have to say, even though it is different now, it was fun to go back. 4 strong stars.

This place is a DUMP, but it still gets 4 stars from me…read more After recycling all we could at the El Cerrito Recycling Center, we decided to take the rest to the dump. We didn't have that much, but did't want to wait to put in the trash. Our garage was now clean! I've never been to an actual dump like this, so the experience was pretty interesting. You pull up to an attendant, he estimates the load and weighs the total vehicle. Pay your fee and head up the road. Unload and you are off on your way. Easier than I imagined. Downsides are the smell as you get closer to the dump area and the seagulls, but what do expect for a total DUMP? Lol.

I was here and it was 30 minutes to closing and my clothes just stopped from the wash, the attendant told me you only have 30 minutes for the dryers. Which I completely understand. I quickly threw my clothes in the dryer and put enough quarters for 30 minutes. After about 2 minutes two of the dryers completely stopped. I let the attendant know. She said okay and did nothing. I waited a few minutes and then asked her am I able to get a refund. She said we don't give refunds. I let her know that I put money in the machine. She said that when she saw it the machines were off. Thank goodness my clothes warm to prove that I did put money in the dryer. Then she proceeded to only dry my clothes for 24 minutes. I went to get the rest of my clothes to dry and she said don't do 30 minutes cause were closer to closing time. I come all the time to this establishment and I am very very disappointed with how this was handled. Sadly I'll have to find another laundromat unless it's an absolute emergency.

The only reason that I took off one star is because the aisles are super narrow. It gets very crowded and people know that this is probably one of the better laundromats in the area.
