About this center
Berkeley Recycling, run by the nonprofit Community Conservation Centers, Inc. (incorporated in 1974), operates both a drop-off center and a buyback center at Gilman and Second Streets. Drivers enter from Second Street, turn left into the drop-off area, and put materials in the marked bins, with recycling aides in safety vests helping unload.
Drop-off takes cardboard, mixed paper, newspaper, aluminum and steel scrap, small and large appliances without refrigerant, glass sorted by color, #1 and #2 narrow-neck bottles, and household hazardous items such as fluorescent bulbs and household, tool, and automotive batteries. Window glass, Pyrex, and drinking glasses are refused. Drop-off is open Monday through Saturday.

I’ve used this recycling center several times for different types of waste including paper plastic and even old furniture. Every time the staff is professional and helpful making the entire process smooth. The center is well-organized and clean making it easy to sort and drop off materials. What really sets them apart is their customer-focused approach including affordable rates and fast service. I’ve always felt that my items are being handled responsibly. This place is a game-changer for anyone looking to recycle efficiently.

Over all the experience was pretty easy. 15min because I had emptied and sorted everything before arrival. Plastic water bottles

I brought a collection of used electronics including a couple of old laptops and phones to this recycling center. The process was seamless—staff greeted me with a smile took care of all the details and made sure my items were responsibly recycled. Their service was fast and thorough and the prices for recycling were incredibly fair. I’m happy to know that my electronic waste is being disposed of in an eco-friendly way. Excellent service and value for anyone looking to responsibly recycle their tech!
