    Located behind Costco, their new location is still rather convenient (and since it's in the corner and away from the cars lining up for the tire center/gas, it's much safer imo). Kevin helped me out with my bottles/cans this time, but they've always had super friendly and consistent service.

    Great place. Nice nice people and good environment. It's clean and you have water tank to wash your hand! Best place in town

    Staffs are so nice and service so quick and location is clean and organized. Their value is fair too. This is located behind Costco Cypress CA.

    Quick and efficient - Kevin and his team are super helpful in answering any questions. I wasn't sure if a can I had was recyclable and Kevin went to the trouble of showing me how to tell if it was CRV eligible for future reference. They have loads of orange baskets to empty your recycles in, clear signage on what to do and what's eligible, and on weekends when there's a line, it moves fast. I like that the area is constantly being cleaned and soap and water is available for afterwards. It's located at the back corner of Costco, plenty of parking. You can enter via Costco way or the Costco entrance via Winner's circle.

    Nice staff and fast service!  Please save our environment and recycle.

    Kevin and crew never fail to make it easy and pleasant to unload my (usually) fairly large amount of crv.

    Santa Ana, Ca. One of the things I do to occupy my time…read moresince retirement is to strip clean, copper wire and brass products. I kind of like doing it and Global pays cash right after weigh in. I have settled on Global as my only recycle business because of horribly dishonest experiences with several other recycle establishments. One place even had rigged scales. Global offers up the latest competitive prices, and while on any given day you might find a higher price, it just might not be worth it. I've become familiar with the Global process, I know to use the wheeled containers for metals, NOT the cages. For small amounts, your 5 gal. Bucket is fine, they know how much it weighs, and they return it to you. After weigh in, take your ticket to the cashier window and slip it under the window with your drivers license. Get paid and leave. If it's your first time here you may have to wait several days for your money, after that you're good to go! The receipt you get breaks down the weight and price for each group of metals. It's not immediately understandable, but with a bit of study it makes sense.

    For about 7 years I have been coming here dropping off copper, usually best price hands down…read more Today was not one of those days, the boys working the line are incompetent, copper heat exchangers same ones I have been turning in for 7 years they decided today they were bronze and robbed me of several 100 dollars, their response.... You can pack it all back up.... Its was nearly 1000lb of copper they decided wasn't copper and knew I wouldn't want to load that all back up. Unreal criminal crooks. They are copper heat exchangers all day every day from pool heaters not bronze or brass or whatever else they wanna call it that day. Only reason they get 2 stars is they have a good track record but not today. Hopefully this is one bad day..... w one idiot working and they re train him properly. I'll try once more once I get another large load. I've sent countless coworkers here for copper recycling won't be doing that anymore. Shady business today shady business

    I wanted to leave a review for Sunset Recycling. I have been going to this location for over a year…read moreand a half. There has been a change in it since the new gentleman , Edilcer, has taken over the morning times I go there. It is so clean and organized, always bins available to sort your recycling. There is hardly ever a line because he moves so efficiently, and gets all the people out of there in a timely manner. I love the fact that everything moves along so smoothly. I have been to other places, and there's always a long, long line and never available bins. This place is absolutely awesome!! He always has bins available and I haven't stood in line for over three months. As we move into the hot summer days, this is a good reflection of this place, caring about the comfort of people using their service. They definitely deserve "5" stars‼

    This place is terrible! Tons of homeless and sketchy characters lurking around the area using…read moredrugs in plain sight. The ground is all dirty and sticky. The guys operating this recycle shack are extremely rude. The one guy who took our recycling and weighed it was on the phone the entire time on a personal call. He was not paying attention to anything going on and then he started grabbing another customer's recycling and adding it to my order. We (the other customer and I) had to tell him about the mix up and he seemed irritated, yet it was his mistake. He just handed over some cash. No receipt, no documentation at all of what was turned in. Who knows if the amount of cash was correct. Meanwhile another guy working here was walking back and forth through the entire area moving bags of bottles and cans around while smoking a cigarette! Absolutely gross.
