STANDARD INDUSTRIES JunkYard in Ventura (CA)

I checked the hours of this place before I left my home in order to bring some metal to recycle when I arrived at about 4:20. They wouldn't let me in the front gate, they said they stop letting people in at 415 if they're going to publish that they're open till 430. It means you should be able to walk in or drive in and take care of business until 4:30. Cause when I got there at 4:20. The gate was closed to me and I wasn't allowed in. So I give it one star.

Excellent for dropping off any kind of metal materials and receiving cash for it based on its weight measured by a certified weigh master

I am a disabled senior. I use a walker, but still not that steady to walk. There needs to be more handicap spots. But, once I have parked and notified the office, help comes pretty quickly. I usually have only two or three bags of plastic bottles and jugs, one or two glass bottles and a few cans. I am in and out within 15 to 20 minutes. Each check Is a forward payment to my next bottled water purchase. Thanks Standard Industries.

Always always friendly and helpful. I felt badly driving in 30 minutes prior to closing but they were nice ! Only place we will go to for recycling!!

Great place to take your recyclables. Big bins, and quick service!

Standard Industries has been the best recycling place I've been to. Sometimes it's a little busy, sometimes not like today. The service is 5 star. The guys who handle the weight scales are always polite & helpful. The cashiers are also very nice. If you live in the Ventura area, don't bother going to the other recycling places. Standard always gives me above average money for my recycled cans & bottles.

I take two bags on my bike and get there tired but then I get plenty of beer money for those two bags.

This is an efficient operation but I don't see the friendliness of the staff that I keep reading about. That's okay, really, as I'm just there to handle my business. What really bothers me is their hours of operation make it very difficult to get in for my recycling needs. How early they close down during the week and the one half-day on the weekend... With so many west end recycling centers closing down, the 20 minute drive (and dealing with the parking lot that is Wells Rd. in the afternoon on top of that) to get there is tough. I wish they would extend their hours.

Always personal and courteous staff here. They direct you for parking, then come to your vehicle and help you unload and take the carts to weigh. Have ID handy. Simple and easy visit everyone.

Great place to recycle cans, plastic bottles, and glass bottles as well as other larger items. I usually walk away with $15-20 when I bring in about 4 bags of recyclables. Cashier is friendly and the guys are fast.

Always have a great time coming here to recycle our cans & bottles because the workers know how to make you smile & laugh & they always have such great positive attitude with us coming & going. Thank you guys for your hard work keep up the great work🙏

If you don't go here you're going the wrong way. Side bonus: Best pork chops in California and great auto insurance quotes.

Website states they close at 4:30. I was there at 4:15 Monday. Gates were closed. Security guard yelling at me that they’re closed now I’m stuck with the cats behind my vehicle.

This is my recycle center of choice the workers are very nice and they also help you sort your recyclables if you need. It's definitely worth going to

Very friendly staff. Highly recommended!

This is the best place to go. Friendly staff, quick to help and I get more $ here then any other place I've been to.

Great place they have a lot of parking so even when they are busy there is always a spot empty
