Best recycling service in Long Beach. I had over 500 lb of printed cardstock I received from Amazon…read morewhich was a third party scam originated in China. I received continuous deliveries including four huge Amazon canvas boxes containing more shipments. I worked with corridor to segregate the recyclable cardstock items with the non-recyclable tags and ribbons associated to some of the products. I had already tried two other recycling companies in Long Beach and they refused to take any of it. Although I did not receive any money for these usable printed items. I was thankful to get them off my hands.

Found this place on Yelp when Action Metal Sales across PCH decided to not open at all or close…read moreearly on Halloween Saturday. Wastech is open until 3:00 on Saturdays. 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

Everyone is hustling and bustling. Grab a few bins to separate your recycles, bring it over to the friendly employees, they get weighed, you get paid. Quick, efficient, you're helping the environment, it's all good.

You sort your own cans and bottles, plastic, glass and aluminum into handy bins which they provide. Once everything is sorted, you proceed to the scales and it goes pretty quickly. You need ID and they pay cash. I've been going there for many years and never had any trouble. The working staff is friendly, but mostly they leave you alone to do your unloading and sorting, which is great.

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.

At its core, a very simple and reliable recycling service!…read more Aim to organize your glass bottles, aluminum cans, and plastic bottles/gallons prior to coming over so you're in and out. This place has its own sanitation station, but I highly recommend bringing your own gloves and hand sanitizer. Aluminum and plastic bottles go into the orange net baskets (but should be separated). Large plastic gallons should be placed on top of small/standard water bottles. Glass bottles go into the grey plastic bins. If you come right before they open at 9AM, you'll likely run into 1-2 parties trying to be in and out of there as well. I always run into families here, but the community as a whole is pretty good about not hogging containers/baskets.

I'm with the others who've mentioned the taller guy with the dog. He was great!…read moreI've been really sick since January, so I brought a lot (for my household) 89 soda cans, 30 large juice bottles, plus a handful of small water bottles and glass cider/beer bottles. The nice guy had taught me that if I knew how many of each type I had, they could just pay out for those amounts. That's why I had everything written down on the outside of each bag. The "new guy" told me, "in the bins", and when I tried to explain what I had going, he just talked over me and said, "IN THE BINS MA'AM!". I tried to understand, or get him to explain, such as, was there a new owner? He never answered that instead just said, "limit of 15 for each type". So, I left. He was so rude! I thought the law was that if you pay a 5c deposit on a bottle, you're supposed to get 5c back?!
