Teresa Maltbia (3/5 stars, 2 years ago): The location does not make it easy to back into a parking spot for easy unloading. There is one entrance and one exit creating one way only. I only recycled cardboard this visit. The cardboard bin is located at the end / entrance. You'll need to unload and walk around a cement bench. Then lift to put into the designated blue bins. It is a clean location and there is staff available to answer questions. I did not notice if there was staff available to assist you if needed nor did I ask.

Leland Wong (4/5 stars, 2 months ago): Showed up on a Tuesday morning around 11AM to encounter the "Closed Until Further Notice" sign. It had been about 6 months since I last came here to recycle cans and bottles so I wasn't aware of the recent closure. I ended up driving to Allan Co. Recycling in Santa Ana to turn in my recycling. Don't know if or when they plan to reopen. Updated Jan.29 2025: Recently reopened last week under new management I brought in about 6 months of recycling on a weekday afternoon and was the only customer. Had to walk to the window first to make sure they were open. Glad this place is open again.
