No longer take e-waste on weekends, contrary to all posted signs. They also DO NOT take any compost. They do "compost training" via some signage, but their solution is to put it in your yard. Workers do not know where you should take it. Still searching for somewhere now.

Open but doesn’t take electronics on the weekend, made a special trip just for one item, try to do the right thing, staff was really rude instead of trying to help

I normally Love this place. In fact I drive out of my way to do my recycling here. BUT it infuriates me that when I arrive, it’s CLOSED when online it says open! Aaaaahhhh!!! I just drove 30 minutes out of way for no reason!

I am a recent transplant from San Diego and I must say that I am very impressed with the city of Burbanks initiative and proactivity in waste management and recycling. I recently attended a free 2 hour class about composting and household efficiency. I found it to be pleasantly informative, relevant, and valuable.....and the best part is you get a free awesome Darth Vader-looking earth machine composter! In an impacted urban environment, efficient waste management is imperative and if everyone would be a bit more conscious of their waste and debris, it would translate to cleaner natural soil, healthier trees and gardens, improved water percolation, and a vastly improved air quality.... If you are interested in learning about eco-conscious living, the recycling center offers a variety of free classes about composting, DIY projects, and fixit clinics to help people lead a happier, healthier more efficient lives.....

what size pieces should cardboard be cut into for disposal

Jon Torgerson | Dec 27, 2021
Tom Davidson | Dec 27, 2021

Corrugated cardboard can go directly into a forklift receptacle (dumpster) and then gets machine baled. Paper also goes in it's own dumpster. So no cutting/folded required unless you've got something longer than about 7 feet!

Can I recycle vhs tapes? I live in the hollywood area so I don't know if it is resctricted to only Burbank residents.

Jo Rod | Nov 27, 2021
Tom Davidson | Nov 27, 2021

They don't check for residence from what I can tell. You will need to sign a receipt to get paid out for CRV
