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!

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.

The process is smooth. You sort and organize your recycling materials (plastic, aluminum, and…read moreglass). Then you get paid for it for the amount you bring. The exchange rate is moderately fair and equally comparative to its competitors nearby. Also, there is decent amount of parking when you go when there isnt a lot of people. Overall, whenever I needed some few bucks, this place always held it down for me.

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.

They do sometimes have hand sanitizer but I keep my own in my car as well as wipes. They're located in the Gardena Market's parking lot so parking can be hit or miss. I've not had a bad experience coming here but I don't know what they could do for me to call them excellent. They're just a convenient and competent recycling center. I couldn't say how their rates compare because I go them mainly for the convenience.

Happened to Google and found "Bestway Recycling" the other day. I was happy I did. The place sat at the corner of the Gardena Supermarket. Service was fast. A person was cleaning the area when I went there. Though it looked simple and might be a little outdated, overall it was clean with no trash smells. A very tall guy helped me, and I was there in and out. Very fast service and friendly people. This might be my new recycling place!

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.
