Well lucky me, this is so close to home, a 5 minute drive! I had no idea this was so near & it's sorta hidden. This place is off of barranca, off the beaten path. It's basically the hidden industrial area of Irvine. I've been here twice & no complaints at all ! My favorite part ? How the employees handle the cans for you - no need to touch gross sticky bins or fight with bees & flies like you do at OC Recycling. OC Conservation Corps is so clean! You won't ever have to wait in line either ! It's a fuss free process. They do close at 4 so get in before that & get that cash. Highly recommend !

It is so conveniently located and easy to pull-in and get out. They've finally reopened under new management and I couldn't be anymore enthused to recycle again. Today was a Sunday and I was excited to see they were open till 345p. I already had recyclables separated. The guy helping me was super nice and quickly weighed my three loaded trash cans. I asked if the recycle used batteries, but they do not. Still great they take many other materials including cardboard. The cashier was very friendly as we bonded over the time change. With that said, I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Current CRV Rates: #1 Plastic $1.470 CRV Glass $0.102 Alum Cans $1.650 Highly recommended.

I came to this recycling center early on a Friday morning so there was no line. I probably should…read morehave looked up reviews before I came but I didn't. When I arrived, I used the clearly marked bins for customer use. The worker took my bins and removed any non recyclable items that weren't marked for "CA Cash Refund". Afterwards she calculated everything and wrote it in her book. The worker didn't say a word to me, just pointed. It was a bit odd because I didn't know exactly what she was asking me to do so I was sightly confused. I also wasn't aware that it wouldn't be a cash refund but instead a voucher for 99 ranch. The reason why I chose 3 stars is because for the amount of recycling I had, I got such a small amount in return. I had previously went to another recycling in Santa Ana and received way more back but for less recycle.

When I politely asked, the older woman just stared at me and walked away - so much so that another woman saw the interaction and helped direct me to bins that I could use as she left. I saw that the bins said no glass so I was waiting for the older lady to help point out to me which ones I could use for glass bottles. As I stood there, she basically yells at me "closed!" And I'm confused and she tells a man and he translates to me that she's closed at 5pm. I say but I've been here since 450pm patiently waiting. And he later translated that she doesn't care; it's 5pm and she's leaving. This whole interaction was rude and embarrassing and not helpful in any way. Never coming back.

For several months, I have been requesting a simple reconciliation of my account, and despite…read moremultiple attempts, I still have not received it. Here's what has happened: I opened multiple customer service tickets, which were closed without resolution or any follow-up. I spoke directly with a representative who requested bank documentation to verify payment, which I promptly provided. After sending the requested documentation, I never received a response. No one has called, followed up, or provided the reconciliation I've repeatedly asked for. At this point, I'm left with: No clarity on how my payments have been applied No explanation of discrepancies No accountability from customer service What's most concerning is not just the lack of resolution, but the pattern - tickets being closed without action and complete absence of follow-through.
