Fast service, plenty of space to park, and convenient hours…read more One thing worth knowing before you go is how California CRV works. Containers under 24 ounces are worth 5 cents and containers 24 ounces or larger are worth 10 cents. You can request to have up to 50 containers of each material type counted individually instead of by weight. I had several larger containers and was told I could mix them in. Some were later pulled out and counted at 10 cents, but not all of them. Could have just been a misunderstanding, but next time I will separate them and ask for them to be counted. Overall, quick and convenient. Know the CRV rules before you go so you get the full refund you are entitled to.

I strongly believe this location is not accurately paying people for their recycled goods…read more Consistently I have received FAR less than I was owed based on their listed prices. Today I brought in 4 & 1/2 trash bags full of items which consisted of one whole trash bin full of aluminum cans, one half trash bin full of plastic #1 and one half trash bin full of plastic #2 as well as a handful of glass items. Usually I could get anywhere from $8 (MINIMUM) to $12 depending on the items/price/etc. But I received $3.85 for it all. I asked to confirm with the person running the recycling area whether or not they included all of my items because it looked a lot less than it was supposed to be and they assured me that they did. On the receipt it shows a lot of my items have been zeroed out meaning they didn't pay me for what they should have paid me for. Instead they chose to scrap it or something else. When I go to a alternate location of this exact company I get twice as much money consistently. Someone at one of these locations is doing something severely wrong, whether that be overpaying at one location or severely underpaying patrons at one location. It's infuriating. I wasted my time and my effort and potentially my money because I turned in recycling that only netted me less than $4. This is ridiculous.

Just be polite, to everyone, and make sure you sorted out all your recyclables. You get way more value out of recycling stuff here than you do behind Ranch Market. That is all.

It is so conveniently located and easy to pull-in and get out. They've finally reopened under new management and I couldn't be anymore enthused to recycle again. Today was a Sunday and I was excited to see they were open till 345p. I already had recyclables separated. The guy helping me was super nice and quickly weighed my three loaded trash cans. I asked if the recycle used batteries, but they do not. Still great they take many other materials including cardboard. The cashier was very friendly as we bonded over the time change. With that said, I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Current CRV Rates: #1 Plastic $1.470 CRV Glass $0.102 Alum Cans $1.650 Highly recommended.

You have two people operating this place and neither one speaks English. First time here but unfortunately, not a helpful experience when it came to asking questions.

There were two people working at the time, and neither one was able to communicate in English, which made it very difficult to get basic questions answered or receive assistance. Although this location is convenient, I'd rather drive to Sunset Recycling in San Juan Capistrano where they are more friendly and provide much better service.
