**May 2023: Weekday Afternoon Visit** This plant is located close to work for me so I figured I'd check them out. They're located behind all the businesses in the shopping plaza and there's plenty of parking. I was in and out within 5 minutes. I'd come back to recycle here since they have good hours.

Great place to recycle if you come already with separated items. Fast service, great place to make some cash recycling.

Other places, you have to do it yourself. But here, they do the separating for you!

It was my first time here! Just checked Yelp on the nearest one by me and this place was only a mile away so it was very convenient. It's located at the back of the plaza and you can just parked right next to it . Gathered my recyclables and assumed you have to do it on your own (like other places I've been to) but here, they do it for you! I followed the time of operation posted on Yelp Would have been nice to be able to call and make sure but it went right through the voicemail Overall really nice staff and smooth process. Would definitely be back again

Not sure why my photo did not post in the last review. To start out I used to love to come to this place to recycle but looks like today is my last if that asshole employee is going to work there from now on. Whenever I come I would have at least 4 bags or more full of glass bottles in my car and the middle age employees would always help me with no hesitation. I would feel like I have the help I need and would come back because they are very understanding how dangerous glass bottles can be and doesn't want me to cut myself. I would try to come early in the morning to avoid the crowd to make it easier for them. Today I came at 9am on a Saturday and I encountered an asshole employee. He has tattoos on his arm and piercing in his ears, please avoid him at all cost. I asked him to help. He agreed and his facial expression changed when he opened up the door and saw 3 big bag full of glass bottles as I told him the beginning. He start giving me attitude while he was getting the glasses out of my car. Furiously yanking a big bag out of my car scraping the paint out. Here is a picture. Hey if you don't want to help just fucking say it instead of damaging my property. After he was done doing whatever he did, he came up to me and this man have the audacity to say " next time you have to separate all those by yourself". I told him oh I thought you guys can help me and I don't know how to do it I'm sorry. THIS MOTHERFUCKER SAID " NO ITS HARDER FOR US" Harder for you? Like how? You just don't want to do your job and you are lazy? He was literally standing there doing nothing the whole time before I approached him. Keep in mind I came there when there is NOBODY THERE. Nobody. Keep in mind I HAVE GLASS BOTTLES ONLY. If I have cans and I asked for help I would understand that is selfish of me but sir I have fucking GLASS BOTTLES. If it was busy and I came begging for help and I was taking their time up, I would understand. Bro I came when the sun barely up and there was NOBODY. He is a type of asshole who would stand there and watch you bleed and watch you cut yourself because he don't give a fuck. He is the type of employee who does the bare fucking minimum and feel like helping is too much for him. Bye. I cut myself trying to take the glass out of the bottom of my car because I can see how annoyed this man look when he was aggressively yanking the Bag out of my car. Great service. If the owner see this you will lose business if your employee treats people like this.

These dudes work, hard. Come support mi gente.

See all

Avoid this recycling center at all cost! It is still closed, and there is no sign indicating when it will reopen.

Nice workers who helped me carry the heavy glass. It was hard for me to locate. It's behind all of the store fronts.

Are you open on thanksgiving?

Peru no happy Thanksgiving!

When will the Chino location re-open?

We are hoping sometime in July. But we will keep Yelp updated.

Hello will this Westminster location ever re-open?. its almost going on 3 months and Google has this marked as permanently closed. FEB 2021 was the last time it was open.

I spoke with the owner, on 08/04/21, and he told me that they are hoping to re-open this, (Westminster), location at the end of August, or beginning of September, 2021. 🙂

Do glass bottles (beer/wine) need to be separated by color? Clear, green, and amber glass. Or can they be recycled together?

I was told yes, but the few times I recycled glass they processed it anyway. this location has been close for about almost 3 months so I'm not sure if it will matter.

Do you take cardboard boxes?

No we do not

Hello, do you take laundry detergent bottle etc? If so do we need to rinse out the bottles?

Yes we do, they don’t need to be rinsed as long as they are empty and not dirty.

1.Do you recycle glass jars? 2. Do you recycle plastic milk jugs, yogurt cups, cottage cheese containers, or clear tubs with lids like spring mix lettuce comes in?…

Hello, we are a CRV buy back center. That is all we primarily take. If you bring in non CRV material without CRV we will not buy it. If you also bring in CRV well buy all non CRV scrap for 1 cent a pound. We do not take batteries.

How much plastic bottles can I bring my bags are full ive got about 8 of them?

Up to 100lbs :-)

Are you still open during Covid 19?

Yes we are!

Do they recycle cardboard boxes?

No we do not sorry.

Hello, are you guys still open right now?

Yes we are!

What about electronics, that are not working?

No we only take CRV. You will need to find an e-waste center.

Do you have the automatic can/plastic bottle machines like they have at other places? REcycle specifically?

No we do not. Sorry :-/

Do you give CRV refunds by number of pieces? If you go by pieces, do you have limits on how many pieces we can bring per visit?

We do take single prices up to 50 pieces of each material.

I see that you accept bi-metal. What exactly are those? Would those be like canned foods?

No-Metal CRV is usually beer like Japanese beer.

Do you take styrofoam?

No sorry

Do we separate plastic from aluminum cans?

Yes, and you can do that separation at the recycling center itself.

Do the cans or bottle have to be crushed ? Or can be left as is?

Do not have to be crushed.

Are you guys closed Labor Day(Monday)?

9am-1:30pm

Do you guys take plastic bags as well?

We do not take bags sorry.
