As the oldest in the family, it was my responsibility to clear it out. I didn't have the patience nor the time to organize a yard sale, so I searched online for a recycling center. What drew me to Wilmington Recyclers was the fact that they offer 7cents per pound for metal while other places give only 1 cent per pound. Also, compared to other places, they have the most extensive list of items that they will take: ewaste, appliances (large and small), and even car batteries For the metals, they have an in ground scale that weighs the car along with your haul, afterwards, you drop off the metals in a large metal bin, then reweigh you car. There are many different lines for different items, the process can be very overwhelming for a newbie. Robert helped guide us, and walked us through each area. I saw many families turning in their recyclables: a good lesson in reducing waste. FYI: Most staff speak little English, so look for Robert/Roberto if you don't speak Spanish.

The place is relatively clean and seemed pretty organized. They had plenty of baskets for aluminum and rolling trash cans for glass. There was no wait in front of me. They took me immediately. I was in an out in five minutes. They paid $1.83 per pound for my aluminum cans, which I believe is above the state minimum of $1.57 per pound. I got $.105 (10 cents) per pound for my CRV glass- mostly beer bottles. Please note: there is no CRV on wine bottles and other food jars, etc. Those are considered "scrap," and I didn't get any money for them. Just put those in your blue curbside container. You may want to familiarize yourself with the Cal Recycle web page before you stockpile too much recycling at home: http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/bevcontainer/programinfo/FAQ.htm

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.

What do you do with starter fluid, old paints and stains, all sorts of cans of this and that? EDCO Recycling in Signal Hill is what you do! Yesterday, I went, with the back of my SUV filled with assorted fluids and headed for EDCO. When I arrived at 10:00am, the line was already blocks long, extending around the corner of Spring Street , almost to Atlantic Avenue! Yikes! There are lots of street attendants directing folks. The one I spoke with assured me that the line moves quickly. He was right! This is a very efficiently run process, only available two Saturdays each month (check their website). When you pull into the disposal area, several men open your back hatch and quickly remove all of the items that you need to safely dispose of. And then, you are on your way...with the wonderful feeling of accomplishment that cleaning out AND properly disposing potentially dangerous items brings! Hint: Find out what time they are opening (usually 8 or 9am) and get there early.

I am extremely pleasee will EDCO and their residential trash pick up as well. I am glad they are serving us in Lakewood. Did I mention the electronic disposal was FREE?!?!
