Replanet Recycling

Every single time i come here there is always SOMETHING WRONG. 3 days trying to return cans. Day 1 broken machine Day 2 Long lines Day 3 Rude worker.
I give up, there should be a better way to do the system (handling dirty cans all day and never cleaning the machine hello?! It’s going to break often) not worth my time i’ll drive into LB from now on and not at the convenience near my home. Pissed…

The guys that work here are so nice! Usually recycling center workers are rude and total jerks. Not here. Come back every month!

Super nice gentleman that works the center. Expect a wait since there’s usually people waiting for bins

always make sure to come thru here to turn in all those recyclables… same helpful guy is always working… gets me in n out n that means quick extra cash for gas whenever i’m in n need n… p. s. they take allot more than just plastic soda bottles n soda cans. like shampoo bottlers laundry soap etc… plastic peanut butter jars… so save save save everything :)

If you have a minimal amount of recycling, this place works. You show up and get in line. There are large blue bins to separate and put recycling in. We got lucky and got there early when only 2 other customers were there. We still had to wait to get bins to use. Then the crowd started to flood in so it was stressful getting bins to complete ours all the while others were going for bins as well. We will use this place and go more frequently.
The guy working was very friendly and helpful. Once we got to the front of the line, we were out of there in a few minutes.
I prefer getting cash upon exit and not dealing with going to the grocery store as an extra stop. Next time we come, we will come on our way to the grocery to make the trip more efficient.
If you have a huge amount like we usually do, I’d recommend OC Recycling off Edinger in Santa Ana. Otherwise, this is a great spot.

Guy was really friendly and helpful. The bin is located behind the shopping center.

Here’s the thing… I’m a drinker. And 2 of my other good friends in my apartment complex are as well.
I’m also a very green consumer. I try to recycle everything that I possibly can and push those around me to give a fk as well about our environment.
So, it works for me that between the apartments of myself and my friends (and our dear friends beer and whiskey) we collect mass amounts of plastic, aluminum cans and bottles.
I live in Long Beach, CA but choose to schlep our ghetto gold down to Fountain Valley where I work, that way I can take the recycling to work and come out a little richer at the end of the day. Even though this means getting questioning looks from my coworkers as I get out of my car looking like I’ve been routing through trash cans and recycling bins all night, it’s okay as long as I’m doing my civic duty.
The Replanet Recycling station in Fountain Valley is one of the most easily accessible recycling places that I’ve ever been to. Recycling is located behind the shopping complex in a very clean and safe area.
Though you can sometimes come and find a bit of a line. The attendant on duty is quick and super helpful. He’s also just the nicest man ever! I really wish that I knew his name. Seeing that I have to schlep down another two tons of recycling on Thursday, I’ll make sure that I get it and add it to this review later in the week.
So come on people, GET YOUR GREEN ON!!! Get a lil bit of that Cali CRV back… And then go buy another bottle.
Wait… I think I see a cycle building.
