RePlanet Recycling

As good as recycling gets! The worker here is usually a young dude. He does his job right and there usually isn’t a wait. He is friendly and you don’t feel rushed. It’s a reliable place to go for recycling. I also prefer counting my bottles because you get $ 0.05/bottle as opposed to weighing them. And this guy is pretty cool about that.
Since this recycling place is behind the Ralphs, this place gives you a voucher to redeem there as opposed to giving you cash. I usually just go to Ralphs and purchase groceries anyway so it doesn’t make a big difference to me.

This was my second time recycling and I didn’t know that you had to keep the label on the bottles in order for it to not be considered «scrap». However, the guy working there was nice enough to still accept those bottles. It is a very small, almost hidden place behind Ralphs but I would still go back.

Gone back twice now with no problems. Today, ¹⁰⁄₁₇ two people had to be turned away because there was no more room for glass. The attendant, Edgar was very nice.

Got there at 1:45, still closed for lunch. This was the 3^rd recycling re-​planet I’ve been to today, why is it so hard to recycle? I might just throw it all in the trash, sorry earth. I’m Extremely irritated.

Not bad, not bad.
Had a good amount of recycling that I needed to do, and wanted to find one that was in the area. Found RePlanet via Unilocal.
Drove by on a Tuesday morning at around 11am. Yes, it’s behind the Ralphs. Nice big «recycling» sign waving about.
I had one family ahead of me, but there looked to be plenty of room in the recycling containers. Grabbed 4 of the trash tubs, filled one with aluminium, one with plastic, and two with glass. Dragged them over when the employee was done with the first family. He weighed them, asked if I had a coupon (I did not; you have to print them out from their website!), tallied up all of the weights for all materials, gave me a receipt to sign, and another receipt for me to redeem inside the Ralphs with one of the cashiers. Easy peasy.
Didn’t smell too bad, reasonably clean, employee was cool, and there was room in the bins when I was there. No weird people hanging around, nothing that would’ve made me feel unsafe. So, will probably be back.

Has been a pleasant experience the last 6 – 8 months at this location, went again today and it was great… Michael was very pleasant and helpful.

Everything goes really smoothly whenever I go here. I often go to this location instead of the one near my home because its not as busy and I’m frequently in the area visiting friends anyway. The guy that works there is very friendly and helpful. I never have to wait very long, and he makes an effort to chat with me and the other customers while we’re waiting. It makes recycling a very easy and enjoyable experience.

I’ve been to this place twice now– both times were a complete disaster and the person working was so rude. I came today for the first time in 6 months (due to my horrible experience last time) and it only solidified my frustration with this location. As the previous review states, the hours for this location are incorrect. They are from 10 – 4:30 pm. I arrived at 4:20pm with two ladies (one tub for one and two tubs for the other) ahead of me. I let the guy know that my bags were already sorted and all I needed were the tubs to put the bottles and cans in. He said that they were closed (at 4:20pm!!) and would not be taking anymore customers. I understand that it is a Friday and that everyone wants to get off on time; however, if the hours are until 4:30 pm then he should be taking a customer that is obviously going to be quick. I work 6 days a week and took off early today to do this. If RePlanet isn’t taking customers until 4:30pm as their hours state then they should consider revising their hours. Horrible customer service. I will not be coming back to this location and will start looking into other options besides RePlanet for my recycling needs.

The hours for this place are completely wrong. It opens at 10 am, closed from 1 – 2 for lunch and shuts down I believe at 4. The guy working the place is so nice and accommodating. He stayed a little over his lunch hour just to make sure everyone got helped. He’s always good about counting your items if you have less than 50 and want them counted and he’s very efficient. This is my go to recycling spot. It’s behind the Ralphs on Alta Vista and Rose Drive. If you go in from Rose just keep driving straight to the back and to your right.
