RePlanet Recycling

rePLANET Recycling
This is a recycling center, not one of little trailers locations. They are usually very busy at all times. They have there own parking inside there gates, but it is limited to about 8 or so. One way in and out.
The prices for redemption are pretty good and you can check out there prices, locations, and all about them @

At this location you do not have to have all bottles with lids off, crushed, and perfectly done, but you should definitely have them dry not full of crap because they can take a % percentage away depending on how much water and stuff they see. Barrels to have holes in bottom to let run out. They help you when you have sorted your bottles, can, glass etc in different barrels and in line to get weighed. They will take each barrel and sift threw them to make sure you have no crap in bottles, other stuff mixed with bottels, cans, glass, and make sure they are redemptive. Many people try to do this but they have learned and so should you by now. The process goes quickly enough even with lines, after you get your ticket with amounts of weights from redemption stuff, then you get into next line for payment! Money in hand on your way!
If you dont like to get dirty or touch nasty sticky barrels, bring your gloves and dont forget a hand sanitizer you will need it! Reuse, recycle rePLANET ! :)

I have been recycling for about 7 years. When my trunk is completely full it’s always $ 20+. This place only gave me $ 15.

The short version: If you live in California you pay the CRV and you’re just throwing money away if you don’t recycle it. For doing that this is a decent enough spot.
The basics: A little off the beaten path and hidden behind a fence is a recycling station where you can drive in and grab a few trash cans to fill with you recyclables and trade them back in for your deposit back. If you go during the week it is not so bad, but on the weekend be prepared to wait in line. There is usually 2 guys taking your returns but for some unknown reason there is only 1 on the weekends which really slows things down. You separate your plastic, aluminum, and glass then wait in line for a few scraps of paper with scribbles on them. Once you have that you hop into line to turn your paper scraps in for some cash. Also be ready to be hanging out with soccer moms and the homeless for awhile.
What works: If you have a trunk full of stuff to recycle this is a good spot to take it.
What to improve: More people working or an automated machine to feed

Went there today for the FIRST TIME. Place was clean, the staff were very nice. I went on Unilocal to find the nearest recycling center to me that takes everything! I looked for a coupon, but no such luck! Very nice staff, but, I am really disappointed on how much I was paid!!! I had a lot!!! Thanks to my constant search for recyclables and friends who pitch in!!! Who I of course take care of!!!

I love the clientele. The location is convenient for me, (right at Arden and royal oaks), they give great returns on cans. They take almost all types of numbered plastic including milk cartons, detergent bottles and much more. The patrons are mostly those that suffer from adomiciliariousness (kinda made up word using roots and meaning homelessness) but they are very kind and great conversation. I like it here and will continue to sell my recyclables to this establishment.
