East Valley Recycling & Transfer

A neighborhood recycling center in San Bernardino that handles everyday household recyclables and larger drop-offs. Locals bring cardboard, cans, glass and mixed recyclables here to keep them out of the landfill. It’s the kind of place used by homeowners doing cleanouts and small contractors with pickup loads.

Drive up to the entrance where there’s usually a scale house and a small attendant booth; expect to stop there before heading onto the site. The recycling bins and collection areas sit past the booth, with larger roll-off tippers and open bays visible from the driveway. Loads are typically sorted by material type, so people pull up, unload into the right bin, then exit past the scale again. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so lines can form and move slowly.
