G & P Recycling Center

The recycling place where I usually take my recycling was close. Yes is a bit far from my house but I had so many bags that I didn’t wanted to be laying around the house. They take all kinds of recycling which is a good thing. They help you so the process was fast and easy. Plus for being a recycling place it was clean. The only bad thing is that they only have three parking spaces so you might have to park in the street. Also there open seven days a week so you can go any time and there hours are flexible.

Ive never done this before. So heres the process for all of you newbies. Just show up with your plastic. If you sort them by type and size, that would be good but if not, they will sort it there for you. You dont need to count it ahead of time. Its weighed. And then the reimburse you. Although there was a line, it went really fast. The workers were super nice! Its nice to get reimbursed for plastic! Save it and save money and be ecofriendly!

Fast and easy! Today, I brought three huge garage bags of plastic bottles to G&P. Everyone was super helpful and nice! They helped me carry all my bags from my car to the front and organized the plastic bottles by sizes. After that, they weighed the plastic and I got cash! Yay!

Close clean and the best. Love this place. Never stop going here. Thanks G&P! I’ll be back soon.

This is the far most nice recycling center ever. I would not usually post review for recycling center but this is too nice. As soon as i drove in I was welcomed by young man who also guided where to park. After I got of car, the young man brought the basket for me and put all my recycling bottle. I didn’t have touch anything. I felt so appreciated since it was usually your own job to do the rest of work. The employees in the recycling center does really jobs for their customers and are very kind. Also this is very clean center where compare other centers are smell really bad. Good experience this Sunday morning. I will do more recycle. Thank you!

We recently moved to the area. This G & P Recycling Center has been a great find. It’s small, but I get in and out faster than at the place in my former town. The people help direct you in and out so it’s safe to get out onto Jefferson Blvd. Everyone’s always nice to me. I like the one guy’s idea about taking gloves along to load the cans and sort. I don’t know why the one person reviewing here has a problem with sorting her own cans and bottles. Seems a little prissy. I’ve been recycling for years now and it’s that way everywhere. Hey, in this day and age, recycling not only helps the planet, it helps with gas money or a movie night out once in awhile. It looks like a dingy little hole-​in-​the-​wall, but it’s awesome. Just look for the brightly painted wall mural on the north side of the street, just east of Budlong Avenue. That way you won’t overshoot their driveway.

This people are cheater I just don’t have my cellphone calculator on hand but I have 21.6 lbs of plastic water bottle and it’s for $ 1.70 a pound plus I have 3 pounds of aluminum can they only paid me $ 27.87 that’s around $ 12 shorts it show on the invoice but the calculation is wrong don’t trust this Mexican people they cheat

Very small. No more than 4 or 5 cars could probably fit in there at a time. They give you trash cans to sort your stuff out. They take glass, plastics, aluminum. I think that’s all, but no cardboard (can throw it away there, but no cash for it). We brought in 5 or so bags of stuff, walked out with $ 5.50 or so. I don’t know what I was expecting, as I hadn’t done it before, but somehow I felt shortchanged. I guess that’s just recycling for ya.
You sort out the recyclables yourself into trash cans and walk it over to the scales. They do the rest. They weigh it and take it from there, and give you the cash.
Anyway, they do honest business, and they put in a little effort to help you out, but you sort and bring up your stuff yourself. Only one way in/​out.

No lines, great service. I can only recommend. Try to go late afternoon, avoid morning at all cost.

It is small and almost easy to miss like what others said. Still the process was easy and the workers helpful. Would go again.

Very nice guys, soon as we pulled up they put the basins out for us. And they take glass bottles which some places dont. Awesome.

Parking was a bit tight and I would have missed it had I not been looking out for it.
The best thing I like about this place is that they have a lot of people on staff and tons of garbage bins. This means that I can unload and dump my recyclables fast and get my money ASAP. My time is important, so a couple bucks, not big deal. I ended up pulling away with close to $ 10 on my stuff.
I just wish there was one of these in San Gabriel. Would be an easy stop for me.
I just hate the long lines!!!

Very helpful guys. Help you park and get out. Bring you bins, good customer service.
Small location but they get you in and out. Bring gloves as the bins are nasty, but that’s anywhere

Super easy process! They tell you how to sort your stuff… help if you’re confused (like I was), weigh it, and pay you. I made an easy $ 4 and feel better knowing how much I was keeping out of the landfill.
Also, it’s a little easier it you sort your stuff before going. Just separating the glass from the plastic made it so much easier once I got there. There was also a pretty aggressive homeless guy hanging around the facility. If you’re firm, he’ll go away. Otherwise, just give him your recyclables and let him keep the money. (Normally, that’s what I would have done. But, I didn’t appreciate the aggressiveness.)

Awesome service. These guys are quick to help you come in and out. They have a small parking structure inside also. They pretty much do all the work for you.

This is the best recycling center ever! They are so nice and helpful, I was unsure what to do and the guys did everything for me! I was in and out in less than 10 minutes!

This recycling center is so close to my home, which saved me a great trouble of getting to it!
When I first recycled empty bottles there, I didn’t know what to do so I just followed in line. Not long after I handed over the man my thing and he sorted out everything quickly and weighted the recyclable parts for me. I earned $ 0.51 that day and I was so happy.
I hope there could be some instructions for some first time customers like me.
Two tips for you guys: try your best to recycle empty plastic bottles, they are the most valuable!(just 10 12oz bottles will gets you about $ 0.6−0.7)
Please empty out your containers, no one wants things to get nasty right?
Love recycling, love saving our environment!

Super helpful here. They will sort everything, but it might be easier if you already have your recyclables sorted.
Also, just checked the hours and they are open everyday from 8:00am-5:30pm.

The process was quite simple. They were very nice and helpful with everything. I got my Recyclables worth! Don’t forget to bring gloves and be prepared to smell the funk! :D

The phone book says P & S but it’s G & P Recycling — look it up on google maps and look at my photos.
I don’t consider myself a tree-​hugger but I do care about planet earth. I want to do my part to keep this spinning ball from becoming the post-​apocalyptic dump that Hollywood likes to envision (think Wall-​E and T4). I know my recycling won’t do much to save the penguins from their melting glaciers or forests from burning up but at least I can feel good about myself (see reference
)
Not far from my habitat is G&P Recycling Center. I like their painted corrugated metal enclosures — so green and happy. Inside, it’s like any recycling centers — sticky ground, confused buzzing bees, loud clashes of metal cans and glass, and lots of dirty recyclables.
What sets this center from others? Even though it’s not the closest recycling center from me, I like how they take pretty much every recyclable. Steel cans that are normally rejected or bottles with a 5 on bottom or other containers that have no CRV value — they’ll take. I like that. Whether I get money for it is not an issue. I just want to get it recycled! Also, I like how they give itemized receipts so that handful of change they give you is completely justified.
The neighborhood is not the rosiest — it’s near USC on Jefferson.
Nonetheless, I wish more people would recycle (and get paid for it) — here or elsewhere!
