EDCO Recycling & Transfer (hours of operation apply to Transfer Station only)

EDCO Recycling & Transfer in Signal Hill is the local recycling center and transfer station on California Ave that residents and small haulers use to drop off recyclables. The listed hours apply to the Transfer Station portion only, so plan visits around that if bringing a vehicle for drop-off. This place is geared toward diverting materials from landfill and is used by people clearing out garages, small contractors, and regular household recyclers alike.

Expect a vehicle entrance with an attendant booth and a few lanes for pull-through access; traffic can back up on weekends or during spring cleanup. Recycling containers and separation points are grouped on site, and typical materials handled at centers like this include cardboard, paper, glass, plastics and metals, with special collection programs sometimes available for electronics or appliances. There’s often a scale at transfer stations and a separate exit after drop-off, so drivers commonly stop at the booth both entering and leaving. The yard is mostly paved with marked drive lanes, piles or bins for different material types, and signs that point to where to unload.
