    Says closed when they're open until 5pm. Sign said returning at 1:50- it's 2:25pm as of this photo, and no one here.

    The last couple of times I've gone, it was night and day since before, and much smoother/better service. Easy to use.

    I was so excited to stumble upon this place as the closest recycling center to my house closed down back in March and has not come back. The biggest down side is you cannot see this place from Whittier Blvd so unless you go to Ralph's and exit out by the recycling center you wouldn't know it was there. That's exactly how I found out about it. Was when I was leaving Ralph's. I am not sure if it was the time of day I went but this was the first time I've done recycling in the area that did not require my waiting in a line. It was great how quick the entire process was. There is not an abundance of bins to put your plastic in so it will be more helpful if you are the only group when you arrive. The other spot I used to go to would give you a pay out slip and you'd have to go inside Stater Bros to get your money. Here they pay you right on the spot which makes it nice that there are no additional steps.

    If you're trying to get some cash for some recycling, Don't come here. Very unprofessional, and will try to rip you off.

    Still waiting in my hot as fuck car in a parking lot for them to be open when they said they would.

    See all

    Not many places left to recycle. Some pop up places cheat on the weight & how they pay u. I have had no issues with Sunset Recycling.

    (I drove by on Whittier blvd this time .) They just moved their stall behind the Chevron station, closer to the Ralph's main parking lot.

    When I'm was a kid, there was a certain entertainment value to taking a trip "to the dump." My dad…read morewould load up the truck with old junk and off we would go into the foothills where, for a nominal fee, you could push all the crap out of your truck onto the ground... all while flocks of seagulls and crows poked through the trash for food while giant bulldozers and other cool machinery pushed the huge piles of stuff around. Fast forward 35 years, and now I am the dad with a big truckload of broken flooring and wall plaster that needs to go somewhere. Turns out the dump I went to as a kid is now all filled up, and features a golf course atop all those piles of trash buried beneath. So, with a huge mess on my hands, I started calling around to see where I could legally get rid of some stuff. I called this MRF, and they actually answered their phone. Since this simple move seems to be a rarity in the local industry, I ended up going there. I arrived at the facility, pulled my truck into the vehicle scale, and approached the window. COVID rules play here, but with the dust and god knows what blowing around, it's a good idea to mask up anyway. The place also requires patrons to wear safety vests, and they sell them for about five bucks if you don't have one. Note well: it ain't cheap. All sorts of rules, regulations, taxes, fees and the like have made this gig practically a Ben Franklin cost per trip. But I suppose it's better than trying to dump it illegally or hassling the "two scoops at a time" routine in your weekly trash pick up. They also did not weigh my truck on the way out, so I guess they just use a tare weight in my make and model. Who knows? Regardless, I made two trips here and got rid of most of the junk I needed to.

    Came here on a Saturday and they were open until 5pm. The entire staff was so nice and answered all…read moreof our questions. They guided us throughout the entire process! We rented a trailer and brought a lot of our trash that couldn't fit in our house bins. Minimum charge is $74 for a ton and you need a yellow vest for whoever is in the car that's going to go down. If you don't have one they sell it for like $4-5 dollars each one. So easy! And such a clean site for the fact that it's a place you dump trash! Would come back! Oh and they always answer the phone and are very nice
