RePlanet Recycling

I went there on a weekday morning. There was a short line, only 2 ppl in front of me. The worker was a lady. I have only been there one and thats after I am so sick of going to the other location by Albertson’s.
Will go here again next time. Hopefully line is not long

I’ve been here twice now and the service has been great! Both gentlemen who work at this location are friendly and fast. They will let you count up to 200 bottles for individual refund. Because I don’t have tons of bottles and cans this means I actually get my CRV money back instead of weighing the items. This means I get more money back for recycling. Win win. I love that they are open until 4:30 on Saturday because alot of places close at 1pm. With my voucher in hand I can go get groceries in the Albertson’s (clean store with a Starbucks inside) or get cash. This place is nice and not ghetto like the place I used to go to in Placentia… Renovate Recyling/​Sanchez Recycling.

Although the customer service line will tell you their lunch is from 1 – 130 they can really take it whenever so just because you’re there outside those times doesn’t mean they will be. But since I’m pissed and waiting I had plenty of time to write this. I will turn my recyclables in with a company that is more professional from now on.

This location is always full and cant accept certain recyclables every time I come. The line is very long and the worker is cranky. And if the truck to empty the bin shows up they’ll make u wait 45 min for them to empty it even if you have already been waiting in line for an hour NO LIE! We were there for 1hr 20min.

My dad always complains that I never take the time to recycle my water bottles & cans. Sad to say, but he’s pretty much right. Since I moved to Orange County last year, I would always bring my bottles home to have my parents help me recycle since I didn’t know where to go to turn in my bottles and cans. Fortunately for Unilocal and google, I was able to find out that there were plenty of recycling centers near me, and I wound up going to this location behind Ralph’s.
I attempted to come here one day, not knowing the hours of operation and unfortunately, I had come on an off day. I was determined to get rid of my bottles and cans so I came here the following day. During this second time around, the attendant was away for lunch… so what did I do? I waited in my car until she came back from lunch. A few minutes later, there were 2 other cars that pulled up and parked next to me, and they had many more bottles than I did. Without a doubt, this location is very popular. If you don’t have a lot of bottles to recycle, make sure to come early so you don’t have to wait for others who may have more bottles than you. If you have less than 50 bottles or cans, you can have them either counted or weighed. If you have greater than 50 bottles, the only option is being weighed. I would recommend counting your bottles/​cans before coming so you know that your bottles are being counted accurately.
Hours of operation — Sun/​Mon — closed, Tues-​Fri — 10A-​4P, Sat — 830A-​5P. The best time to come? Before or after lunch. I can expect Saturdays would be a very hectic and busy day since people will want to spend their days off… recycling!
I love recycling, and it definitely was an easy and fun experience at this RePlanet Recycling center. At the end of my visit, I had a receipt worth $ 3.60, which can be used at Ralph’s or redeemed for the cash value at any of the register. All in all, I was $ 3.60 richer after my visit. Score! I love recycling!
