This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
In Huntington Beach, CA, Ponce Recycling Center draws mostly positive but mixed feedback. Score: 76/100. Many highlight friendly, helpful staff, quick drive‑up service, short lines, and a clean, organized yard. On the downside, several cite early closures/inconsistent hours, lower‑than‑expected payouts due to weight‑based pricing, and worries about a negative tare on the scale—so transparency needs work. Wait times are generally low. This isn’t a parts yard, so there’s no insight on inventory or finding parts. Net: convenient and courteous, but hours and scale concerns can frustrate.

What clients say about Ponce Recycling Center in Huntington Beach (CA)
They have a pre-weighted scale! Get what yours and try the one on slater you will notice price difference. If you ask why the scale says 9.9 they will say to calibrate it or they have actually used a nickel....buy a scale that didn't rip off the people who truly need every penny with the price of everything.
Literally rigged the weight. Has the weight at -9.6 instead of 0.00. Should of gotten paid more than I received. Literally robbing what your supposed earn
These guys never stay open till 5 PM, and it's a shame because they lose a lot of business including mine. I go to another recycling center. During the winter months traffic is horrible after 4 PM, you would think they would be open when people can get there.Closing more than 15 minutes early is nuts! Photo taken at 4:53 PM
RIP OFF. So you telling me my “10 cent a can” cans should be paid based on weight vs per can. A usual $5.00 for all my cans at Costco only got me $1.00 at these “recycling centers”. Straight basura
These guys have a great rep for customer service - because they’re the best I’ve had for twenty years of doing this. They’re very helpful. And clean and fast!
