My first visit. Nothing extraordinary to report. I visited as soon as it opened in the morning and the transaction was quick. The odd thing was that the man weighing my loads dumped each of my containers into his one container at a time. That container already accounted for its tare weight, so he was trying to save time by not having to tare each container. Watch out for this only if you really care about how much money you expect read more

Clean location, friendly service, no loitering. Feels safe going there. Help provided if it's your first time, just ask read more

I always used to go to Allen company due to the fact I did not know this place existed. People at Allen Company are nice but these people are exceptional. Right away they start helping you unload your valuables and even Strike Up a conversation with you. And better yet this place is about 2 miles closer to my house and at around 650 a gallon for gas it's very inviting. I will continue going here until I decide to quit scrapping. Wish they took brass and copper too but obviously on that plot of land they would not be able to. I wait until I get A full truck load and go in usually around $200 worth. Next time I'll bring them donuts and coffee hope they don't have diabetes. Stop by and say hi and get to know them, they'll remember you. highly recommend this place. read more

I can't believe I didn't realize this place was here, I would have come here sooner. It's a little hidden behind Stater Bros. This place is clean, organized and they guy who works here is super helpful. read more

First time here and my experience was awesome! Did 4 trips and dropped off bottles and cans. Opens at 8:30am which is great for me! The guys are super helpful and nice! (Thank you again for taking care of me!) Not too crowded when I went and that is great! If you want to recycle bottles, COME TO THIS LOCATION!!! located behind Stater Bros. This will be my go to from now on! Be sure to tip them too! read more

They made it very easy and painless to turn in my cans and bottles. Also I got paid cash right then and there. No going into a store to redeem a ticket or coupon. I like the guys that work there a lot. Very friendly. read more

This place is hidden behind Stater Brothers off to the right side. It's located in the same plaza as UPS, Dollar Tree, and the Goldfish store. Keep driving towards the back and you will see them. We stopped by on a Wednesday afternoon around 12:30 PM and was greeted by two nice gentlemen. My husband and I were the only ones there. They helped unload our car and separated our plastic bottles and aluminum cans into bins for us, but they said during busy days they will offer the bins for the customers to separate it themselves. We had about 7 full bags and was given $24. Not sure if that's a good exchange but we were happy with their friendly service. Definitely worth coming by again. They open around 8:30 AM and close around 1 PM. Give them a call if you have any questions. read more

The guys are really nice! The process was so quick! It's located behind Stater Bros and the Tropical Fish. I would recommend going here.

I just returned from dropping off plastic and glass at this location at the recommendation of a family friend, at the very back of the shopping center and I have to say, the two gentlemen who were there, were both courteous and helpful, more so than at any other recycling center that I have ever been to since starting to recycle many years ago. I would highly recommend trying this location. I was very impressed. read more

Maps says open Sundays. Filled up my car and I am here now, but no one is. Disappointing.

These guys are AMAZING!!!! I'd give them 10 stars if I could. They are true professional. It took me two trips with loads of recycling materials that I've been saving. Even though, I sorted my plastics, bottles, and cans to make things faster and easier, I didn't sort out the glass bottles by color. They helped me with the sorting and took care of all my recycling. I got paid, was very happy and left for my second trip. I came back with more materials and they assisted in a professional, friendly matter again. Time for me to get paid and the gentleman told me that he had forgotten to give me cash for my bag of Yakult which is plastic #6. Which give you more $$$. Now where else would do something like this? What an honest group of guys. I will be coming here from now on. There are many recycling locations, but when you find the best, you don't need to search anymore!!!! Thanks PRC!!!! read more

I do my recycling here every few weeks. The guys are great. Very helpful with getting your materials sorted.

Quick and friendly service. Was greeted upon parking and was allowed to park right next to their sorting containers per their request. The two employees were efficient at separating a few large and opaque plastic containers from the rest as well as from the tiny Yakult containers. Will do business here again. read more

I just discovered these guys here! They are located right behind the Stater Bros at Grand Ave & Covina Blvd. Seriously they are so efficient and polite! I'm so grateful to have found this recycling center. I've had bad luck with many others nearby. I won't be going anywhere but PRC Collection from now on. read more

Photos say they're open til 3:30, Yelp says til 2:30, showed up at 1:30 and no one, nothing in sight. Business might be closed, and if not, not a great way to run a business anyway. read more

In my opinion, PRC Collection is a great place to recycle your empty bottles. The workers were really helpful and I was in and out within just five minutes! I handed them my bags of empty plastic bottles and they just did the rest. Compared the other recycling centers, you have to do everything by yourself and it can get really confusing. All in all, this is probably one of the best place to recycle your empty bottles and I am definitely coming here again. read more

These workers are the best! They are very helpful and respectful. I've watched them engage with others and they have a very welcoming demeanor which is probably why they seem to have regulars that they know by name. read more

Had the best experience here! Never once in my life have I had any help from any center with moving or sorting my recyclables. I was short on time and there is usually a wait every time I try to recycle but they had me in and out quickly! As soon as I arrived, one of the two men walked over to my truck and helped me unload. The other guy helped me sort out all of my recyclables. They did it all with a smile and great attitude. According to them, they just like being efficient. I was very pleased with the service I received. I really don't look forward to recycling because of all the work involved but they definitely made the whole process a lot easier. Absolutely coming back here when I'm ready. read more

We love their service! Thank you for always Being here for the community!!! Great attitude, always a clean safe environment.

Hours say they were updated 2 weeks ago, and open till 230 on Saturday. Arrived at 1:10, and is closed.

Fantastic service! Friendly and efficient, too. Great location and the area is always neat and tidy. Highly recommend making them your "go-to" recycling center! read more
