What clients say about Gardena Recycling Center in Gardena (CA)
Horrible service!!! They take your money and plastic workers are rude I don’t advice this place to anybody and they ask for your California ID. I’m not sure why they do that.
Normally, I go to this place all the time to recycle today I believe I ran into the owner and he was very rude. I don’t understand why but they need to check their self …before they talk to customers. Like that
That’s not right no good customer service at all there. Employees are very nice though
Feel I just got robbed lol kinda made me feel what the hell am I doing saving all these cans for should of read the reviews before going there smh never again hard pass on thus place
I can’t rate more than this if I left feeling concerned and very unsure. It’s a very uncomfortable feeling. I just want to make sure all is fair. Please, someone let me know if I got robbed do I don’t return. Honestly, I don’t know where this total came from. He didn’t explain why he took off 207 pounds from the 300 pounds of metal steel I took. And I’m also unsure if it is even steel number 1. Is that the lowest paid ?? the steel I took is strong. It was a metal gate/fence. super strong and durable. Not brittle at all. What type of steel is that?? I feel robbed. He didn’t explain.
Staff are not happy doing their job and it shows on their customer service.
Why do they have 12.30 closing time on website when they actually close by 12noon on Saturday. They just wasted my time and gas driving down and their staff don’t feel anything about when told to correct the information on their website
Extremely low price for Cardboard. Had a truck full all flattened and received only $10.00 No help from employees at all. I spent more on gas getting their.
Well organized and clean (as recycling centers go) Not the friendliest or most helpful people, and they will always deduct for moisture, even if there is none. Prepare yourself for getting less than the advertised rate.
Dont waste your time here The Owners n Employees are Rude the Price is below State Prices.They only take plastic water bottles N Aluminum Cans .They want to throw ur other plastics away so they can gt the $ for themselves . Dont Go Here !!!
The only good thing was that the place was clean. They don't pay anywhere near top dollar And they only accept ca crv recyclables. Overall id say come here if you want to be ripped off and throw away one third of your recyclables.they threw away hard Liquor bottles and milk bottles?! The employees were rude . i asked a question and the employees screams in my face "not crv" as though thats all he had to repeat all day. I only came here cause my boyfriend and I wanted to find a center close by our house. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE AT ALL. Go to the one in Lawndale behind the In and Out Burger.
Never had an issue here. Always efficient.
Edit:
Maybe I'm missing something but still no issues here. The place was marked as permanently closed. I informed the owner that somebody may be trying to sabotage the business.
These guys are crooks. I came here with one of their $2.00 per pound coupons. I filled 3 wire bins with aluminum cans and they put them on the scale. You have no idea how much the wire bins weigh empty, so you basically have to trust that the net weight of the cans is correct. After he pays you, he hands you a receipt. It showed that 15% was deducted for moisture. There was absolutely no moisture in my cans. Not a single drop of water or moisture had dripped on the scale. This 15% deduction cost me over $12 because I brought in 42 pounds of cans. There was absolutely no communication from these crooks that they were going to deduct for invisible moisture. DO NOT VISIT THIS RECYCLING CENTER
I will never ever ever ever return to this location again. It felt weird when the employees don't talk to the customers...like a horror film. I go to California Metals Recycling now...3 miles longer drive. They talk!
Not polite. They only take cans and CRV plastics. If you have anything else go to Western Recycling. I only went because coupons made cans worth $2.00/lbs.
