2 forms of ID needed here. Very small location and fills up fast. Be careful late in the day they might be full and not accepting anything but still open. They do jot take glass.

Friendly place to turn in your recyclables, really quick and straight forward, they pay with checks which I think is even better and more secure, thus get your ID ready.

I've been a regular at Bellflower Recycling Center for years. Not anymore! Express Recycling is located behind Grocery Outlet/Ross. I've seen the signs before, but never thought about coming here. After seeing some people post they offer top dollar for cans & plastic, not to mention payment comes via check, I thought I'd give this place a try. When I arrived, I quickly loaded up my cans & plastic in the bins & was second in line. My items were weighed, I gave my driver's license and signed for my check. A cool $52 & change in hand, and I was expeditiously on my way. Express Recycling is head & shoulders above Bellflower Recycling Center. First, the cleanliness. At Bellflower, plastic bottle tops & other trash litter the ground. Here at Express, plastic is accepted with tops on, although I always take the tops off out of habit. The parking lot was clean, for the most part. Second, no big lines. Bellflower can be 10-20 people deep at times. Not a problem here. Third, the noise. Over at Bellflower, sounds of clanking bottles & cans cause some serious noise pollution. I have sensitive hearing after years of driving with the subwoofer bumping in my old 323 of yesteryear. Because of the lesser amount of people, my abused ears are spared needless torment. Lastly, the time saved makes recycling less of a hassle than it needs to be. I was in & out, and thankful for it. Express Recycling is now my destination for recycling. Receiving payment via check is more hygienic than cash, I can quickly stop by and not spend a lot of time & the cleanliness of the operation are all reasons why I recommend everyone local make Express Recycling their recycling destination. Highly recommend!

Since I don't really have a lot of experience with recycling, I found things to be pretty the attendant NB was polite and courteous. I guess I got reasonable money back. If there's a better place to go that pays more, let me know.
