Consistently open during the hours on the signage. Most places open when they feel like. I've always had super nice guys ring me up. It's fast, easy and convenient. read more

do not go here! they will rip you off! they use unfair weighing. they did not pay me an accurate amount for my recycling - and i knew how much i brought in! when i commented about it erick told me to go somewhere else. so beware! read more

I stopped going here. I tired of the late openings and no shows. The worst that happened over and over, was asking us if we had change, then insisting on giving us an I.O.U. I would rather have a ticket to cash in Ralph's than get an $8 or $12 i.o.u. Kind of Jeff Spiccoli style. Great to be kind, but a business should have it's bank in order if this is a money issuing business-same with carnivals and fairs. read more

The pay is subpar I rather visit a city recycling center. It's a good place in a pinch.

Told me they were closed for the rest of the day at 4:40. Online and posted says at 5pm. If it was 4:55 MAYBE I'll understand. I took the time to pack my recycles and drive there and now I have to drive around with recycles for a day. Super inconvenient & false information online. read more

Awesome service, Matthew is friendly and genuinely kind. Joshua helps you out and gets it done quickly. read more

Easy peasy. Bring my 10 year old son here to do his recycling. Pretty simple. Dump your stuff. Leave with cash. Sometimes the young kid busy Playing video games. But they take care of you. I am a little skeptical if they pay you right. Sometimes I get the feel that they don't center the baskets and let the em hang off the scale purposefully to not you less. I will prove this theory next time and weigh the stuff first to see if they equally the same amounts. Hmmmmmm read more

Great place to recycle. Matthew, the attendant is always friendly and helpful. He started off by explaining all of the prices along with what they accept and what they do not. There are some item they will recycle for you but they do not pay cash for them. The center has very competitive prices they offer for items. They compete with the big recycling plant plant and in my opinion beat them in customer service. Thank you again Sunset for a smooth transaction. Matthew, I have to apologize, just I as I got back home I realized I left my trash bags scattered. I did not mean to do that. read more

This has been the most reliable and clean recycling center! Matthew is amazing, friendly and personable! His system works flawlessly and he is just the nicest! I love that his business is open ALL the time! Come here to get the best deal for your recyclables! read more

Matthew is outstanding! Clean area, professional in every aspect - always has a smile and happy to see people recycling If you are recycling, go to Sunset Recycling Center in Downey (behind Ralph's) read more

I should have listened to customer reviews. AN HOUR LATE OPENING today "because a train held me up." If it's not the train tomorrow, it will be a flat tire. Or the wife misplaced my car keys. Or I had to gas-up on the way. Or I had to jump my car . . . etc. Actually, because it's different people every day, he could use the same train excuse. 9am is the posted opening hour, I even checked before coming. The attendant allows vagrants to do all his work while he handles the money, even tho' there's an "Employees Only" sign. I'll be going elsewhere because this location isn't run in a businesslike manner. read more

This is the cleanest recycling place I've ever seen. I never seen a recycling company that was never ever this clean. Also, his current men that are helping him they're very nice. I've never had anyone they're being nice but they're nice to help out as much as Ithey can .I don't even have to carry anything. They ask me can I carry something to carry it for you I think that's great. read more

Sunset Recycling Center - Recycling Center Near Me - Downey, California

Matthew is literally the best!!!!!!! He has the best attitude! He makes it feel like you're his bestie! He encourages you to want to recycle. There is never a wait! read more

When I first visited this spot I wanted to rate it high, as the men working were super friendly. However I am super frustrated and upset. The first time I went I had a lot of cans and a small amount of glass (all types of glass) and they gave me $16 for JUST the glass. I told my fiancé a few weeks later to bring our glass to these guys and recycle, we had a TON from having a party. And they gave him $3 for ALL of it. Told him that they only recycle beer bottles which was NOT the case when I went, also, there were tons of beer bottles in the batch my fiancé brought. They completely scammed him and now we will never be going back read more

It took me a while to find a recycling spot I trusted and was convenient. Well I found it. Sunset recycling is simple but I specifically enjoy the Downey location. Compared to others, I find friendly service, a smile, and easy conversation here. Matthew is fantastic. It seems as if recent that I've been going on rainy days and he gives me props for coming out in the rain. I'd rather wait a few extra days or drive out of my way to come to this location! read more

Mathew is always very polite when we show up, would definitely recommend this place. Matthew is the homie

I was looking for a place to take some recycling and I came upon this place. I've been to a couple of places like this before, so I kinda knew what to expect. When I arrived, I asked the gentleman about glassware if it was separated or not, and he said no, it's all together. The people that were working at the center we're very helpful. I just wish they had better containers to put their recycling in. What was used to put the recycling in where these flimsy mesh plastic man made cans which were different sizes. I kind of struggled to put my recycling into those mesh containers because they were so flimsy and stuff kept on falling out over the place. read more

Recently brought my recycling here and was very pleased. Matthew is the best. He's very transparent and trustworthy with weighing your recycling. Most places just weigh your stuff and tell you the total but he told me the price after each basket. Payout was great. I definitely recommend this place. Hard to find a good recycling spot nowadays. This will definitely my go to spot going forward. Thank you Matthew! read more

Matthew and another gentleman helped me with my recycles and having to separate them. Both are really sweet. I went close to their closing time and they had to give me an IOU and told me that I can come another day to claim it, which I don't have any issues with. I live nearby and my primary goal was to get rid of the recyclables to clear up room in the garage, and getting some cash in the process is not a bad deal. I would say that I got a pretty good deal with the stuff I brought in. I highly recommend this place for the recycling all your plastic, cans, and glass bottles. Definitely will be coming back. 5 stars all around. read more
