Sunset Recycling Center — Local services in Temple City

Came to this recycling center after going to the last one and this one was not close to being accurate. My tare weight on the orange plastic container was 0.40 pounds. My total weight of 200 heavy weight 16.9 fl oz plastic bottles came out to be 10.50 pounds. Their net weight was 7 pounds, a loss of over 3 pounds. Don’t use the orange container they provide, it is not accurate, if using orange container ask what the tare weight on it is. It is better to request a 50 pcs count at this location. I will go to another location that is owned by this company and also write a review. It is a good practice to buy a luggage weight on Amazon because the more you fill up these orange container, the more off it is. Unfortunately there are some recycling centers that is off 10 lbs and there is nothing the customers can do about it because most of these customers collect these for a living and it is their sweat, they did not pay into the the CA...

Something very disturbing and troubling happening here. I have always gone to the recycling center near the 710 Fwy but decided to visit Sunset on June 29th 2021. Big mistake...

I took my usual load of soda cans and was shocked they do not allow weigh in totals to be verified or even veiwed.

RED FLAG 1. I asked for a receipt and was denied. I received half the amount of money I was expecting.

RED FLAG 2. An elderly lady before me kept insisting she wanted a count instead of weigh ins. I was getting annoyed because it was hot but it seems she was right and distrust their weigh in methods.

CONCLUSION - AVOID AT ALL COST. Please do not support a business that practices bad business policies and that is defrauding our vulnerable elderly.

Please write a complaint to Ralph's and Rite Aid corporate for allowing such a shady business to be allowed to...

I usually go elsewhere to recycle but,when we're at our Grandsons house I go to this Sunset Recycling center in the parking lot of Ralph's / and Thrifty s. Aka Rite aid. The Mexican young man is quick and nice. Very reserved. Doesn't say much but that's okay. Today when Recycling he asked me if I knew anything about Cars. He has a Mercury Mini Van that didn't run well. I plugged in my scanner and found the trouble codes so his mechanic could know what to check. The moral of this story is to help someone that is in need of help who does not know much about the troubles he/or she may be having. Felt good to know I was of help and in so, paying it forward what I've learned in my life so far. This is Chuy Viramontes aka Big Sneeks from the Gateway to the SGV Alhambra...
