does anybody know is there a real recycling center that takes cans and plastic and glass on 27th and market in downtown San Diego

Yes, located at the corner.

I am most certain that there is not. Just head 5 or 6 blocks south to commercial at 25th st to Time. Ive tried to chase down this illusive recycling center on Market with no luck after a tip from a friend pointing me that way. Other than this place there is a place on 32nd st further away and not really downtown anymore at all as the the one on 30th stopped taking CRV stuff about 6 months ago.

Of course, I highly recommend Time recycling on the corner of 25th and commercial. They have them very fast and efficient system you grab two or three empty blue trash cans they can be taken to your car or you can do it inside do it away from the line and they will get you in and out with FRUIT OF YOUR LABOR They also take copper and sheet metal that is REAL PROFITABLE. GOT IT???
