They pay almost half of what your supposed to receive. That's how they make their money. Based on 10 cents per item. They gave me 6 cents per item. Because they weigh it instead of counting individually.. if your lazy and don't care then you can come here.
The staff made it easy by assisting with parking and being available for questions and guidance. I did the math, and the refund per can vs by weight is roughly the same, at least w/ 12-oz aluminum cans. The line only took a few minutes on a weekday morning.
Fair prices and helpful staff. It helps if you can converse in Spanish but not absolutely necessary. Grab some plastic trash cans and get in line with your recycling. Be ready by removing the lids on your plastic bottles before putting them in the receptacles. Reduce waiting by pre-sorting your glass, plastic, aluminum, etc. Be nice! There are few recyclers left in LA.
First time there! It's like any other recycling place. I only had a small line in front of me but each person had alot of cans. Was no bother as all recycling places I have been to are like this. The workers were efficient and nice. Only bad part is not much parking which isn't the company's fault.
The employees were very friendly and helpful. The main problem is that I got half of what I should have received based on crv. Will not come again. It is not worth the time!
Super easy to take your recyclables there, the workers are upbeat, super friendly and extremely helpful! They play loud salsa music and it just makes you want to dance! Never thought that taking cans to a recycling center would be kinda fun!
Helpful staff giving you guidance on where to park and provide the bin containers. Speedy service but doesn't pay as much as other places. Pretty much in and then 10 minutes later out.
First one let you know there is no street parking you have to park on the lot or sidewalk. You go over get as many barrels as you need. The lines move very fast. I have weighed my recyclables and it's the same as what they say the way it is. Found at this place is very honest. The workers are friendly and very helpful.
Everyone who works here is very helpful and provide you with quick service! Parking can be a little sticky sometimes, but people are helped in and out of spots.
First time there I think if you have them already separated I did and the man told me to go ahead and get in line but be careful who you get in front of it did not take that long the staff was great
Great place to go now that Santa Monica Recyclables Center is closed and will be eventually be building a high tech 21st century technology center with better parking and faster service. But in the meanwhile, GO TO STIMPSONS, SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS.
Even though parking is limited. Every employee is very helpful & professional. Each time I go they always have festive music on, which makes it the atmosphere & line go by faster.
