Unhelpful, rude staff. Multiple times, I've given this place chances. Not coming back here again.

At its core, a very simple and reliable recycling service!…read more Aim to organize your glass bottles, aluminum cans, and plastic bottles/gallons prior to coming over so you're in and out. This place has its own sanitation station, but I highly recommend bringing your own gloves and hand sanitizer. Aluminum and plastic bottles go into the orange net baskets (but should be separated). Large plastic gallons should be placed on top of small/standard water bottles. Glass bottles go into the grey plastic bins. If you come right before they open at 9AM, you'll likely run into 1-2 parties trying to be in and out of there as well. I always run into families here, but the community as a whole is pretty good about not hogging containers/baskets.

I'm with the others who've mentioned the taller guy with the dog. He was great!…read moreI've been really sick since January, so I brought a lot (for my household) 89 soda cans, 30 large juice bottles, plus a handful of small water bottles and glass cider/beer bottles. The nice guy had taught me that if I knew how many of each type I had, they could just pay out for those amounts. That's why I had everything written down on the outside of each bag. The "new guy" told me, "in the bins", and when I tried to explain what I had going, he just talked over me and said, "IN THE BINS MA'AM!". I tried to understand, or get him to explain, such as, was there a new owner? He never answered that instead just said, "limit of 15 for each type". So, I left. He was so rude! I thought the law was that if you pay a 5c deposit on a bottle, you're supposed to get 5c back?!

The service is well organized and they are quick to assist you with any questions and help you…read moremight need. The value ($$) you receive back is based off the weight of the ( cans, bottles, glass, recyclable containers you bring). If you're looking for a recycling center that does value/quality based off the number of cans/bottles/glasses, individually priced you might not prefer this option but the weighting method is very effective and is equivalent to doing per-piece when recycling.

This place moved on the side of Vons. I would continue to go because they paid the best rates but…read morenow they implemented this scrap plan where you only get 2 cents a pound for plastic #2. It really brought down the value of the recycling. Because of how far it is I won't come back. I don't think the rate is worth it anymore. I wouldn't go there if it was closer to me with because of that 2 cents rate. That's ridiculous! Original review: The other reviewer is right, a couple of guys have set up shop here and expect money for helping you to sort your recycling. I just tell them I don't need any help and they leave me alone. I hate that and they seem permanent because they've been here the last few times I've gone. Besides that this place is still 5 stars! I always get the highest rate for my stuff, comingled or not. The guy who works there is always very friendly and gets through the line quickly. There hardly is a line on the weekdays though. This continues to be my favorite place for recycling besides the hagglers!

Venture Recycling Group - The best place for your CRV recycling easy and easy out and I think they pay pretty much tough Market dollars for your recycling

They used located in Torrance .. they moved to Lomita long time ago.. I went many recycling places…read more. venture is the best !! The reason why the rate is good rate !! They accepted Glass , can etc.. We have to do separate the bottle , Green color , clear color and Black color .. Sometimes employees can help for me .. I want to highly recommend!!

After they closed the recycling center in Gardena near Home Depot, I'm glad I found Venture. When…read moreyou shop at Costco and Sam's Club, it's amazing how fast the piles of plastic bottles and aluminum cans piles up. There's only so much microplastic our bodies can store so what to do with the macro portion left over? Sure, I could just dump it in my blue recycling cans, save time, effort, and have people digging through my recycling, dumping the rest of the contents on the street or let the city cash in my hard earned CRV. Nah. The city already takes more than their fair share of my income. The workers at Venture are always friendly and helpful. There is adequate parking and never a shortage of bins to roll over to the scales. The lot is set up so traffic goes one way, making entering and exiting efficient. It is rather grungy but it's a recycling center. I've never seen one that could pass a white glove inspection. Just wear a pair of rubber/vinyl gloves so you don't get gunk on your hands and you'll be fine. There are closer recycling centers closer to home but the guys at Venture make an inconvenient chore into a more pleasant experience.
