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 had a good experience recycling there today. I read some scary reviews about being ripped off -…read morewas not the case for me. I estimate my payout based on quantity of aluminum and glass cans I had and CA CRV fee per each. I had about 30-60 of each; it was measured by weight. The payout matched my estimates. I received an itemized receipt and correct amount of cash. I had under 2 lbs of each type and their containers weigh 8.1 lbs. After they weigh my items in their container, 8.1 is subtracted. Since the payout matches my estimate - I think the weighing process is correct too. I also had a couple of plastic bottles on hand and they just hand counted them and paid me correctly. The employees work quick and the job is dirty so no one chats or smiles (understandably). One worker gave me brief pointers on how to sort my stuff. Others just gestured and silently keept up their quick pace. I plan to comeback. Note: limited parking. I came in on Saturday at opening and found plenty parking. But since it shares the driveway with In-N-Out, I wouldn't come in at lunch or dinner ours to avoid traffic jams.

I have a little shredder but it would have taken a really long time to do it myself versus showing up at their business with maybe a 140 pounds of documents that they were able to shred in maybe 10 minutes.

I don't often write reviews but if you are looking for this kind of service I would highly recommend this business in terms them being very helpful and having great prices!

I have clients' files with their personal IDs, clients' medical records, my old TAX files, the company's records, old Fax records files, old DVDs and CDs, and my past school's personal information. They have all types of shredding machines for paper, discs, old cassette tapes, old VHSs, hard drives, films, etc., at their facility. You can drop off or make an appointment to be a witness to the shredding process yourself. Their prices are less than half the price of the UPS Store shredding service. Even if you have a lot of everyday shredding items, I highly recommend Shredding Place. They're exceptionally trustworthy. To be frank, they did not ask me to write and post my honest review on Yelp.

They take e-waste, hazardous ways, and all other things that you cannot get rid of easily. However, because there are only open Saturdays and Sundays, there are usually a lot of cars here waiting to drop off their things. It is very well managed with a streamlined process. From the entrance to the point you drop off, there are several service staff working and guiding you through the process. I spent about 40 minutes from the point I entered to the point I left. One tip: make sure you bring and have a valid drivers license. There was a policeman checking everyone's license when I came!

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!

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.
