Mytao Westside (5/5 stars, 4 years ago): LOOK AT HOURS before you come. I have been coming here for a long time. The main reason is because its local and the customer service is straight forward. For the newbies: STEP 1 grab a cart holding 3 trash cans and roll it over to your car. ALWAYS SORT YOUR CANS. They will not accept cans full of plastic glass and cans. You NEED to SORT your plastic and cans. Also HOT TIP separate your brown glass from your white glass and green glass can go with white glass. Step 2 once all items are separated you can roll them over to the large car garage area where you will wait in line. Please note they WILL INSPECT your cans and bottles for liquid or metals for the cheaters 🤯. There are signs posted on how much glass plastic and cans are worth. Last hot tip is that they accept yogurt (pink mexican) that will also add to you making extra money. All in all this is a local spot that is quick and straight forward.

kingof1964 (5/5 stars, 5 years ago): I have been recycling here for a number of years now. Prior to coming here I tried many other recycling facilities. I always left the others feeling like I had been ripped off or shorted on the weight of my cans or bottles. I definitely think that there are a lot of dishonest recyclers out there. How are you to dispute what they tell you your materials weigh? Then there are those machines that you feed your cans and bottles in one at a time. I do not know how anyone has the patience for those things. Anyway I never have felt cheated here. The place is always clean and organized. The staff is friendly and helpful and you do not need to speak spanish to do business here as indicated in another review. They are all bilingual enough to help you. There are carts and cans for you to sort your items into making the unloading of your recyclables easy and fast. Definitely the best recycling center I have ever gone to and I have been to many.
