Gold Coast Recycling

Small, working recycling center in Ventura that locals drop off household recyclables and clean bulky items. People from nearby neighborhoods and contractors swing by when clearing out garages or doing small jobs. It’s the kind of place where a pickup or hatchback full of sorted stuff is a common sight.

Expect a busy, industrial lot with piles of bales and open skips rather than a polished storefront. Pull up to an entrance area and get ready to unload - many recycling centers in California use a scale and charge by weight, so plan for a quick stop before leaving. There are usually separate collection points for common materials like paper, cardboard, glass, metals and many plastics, and signage or arrows will guide drivers where to pull up for each pile. Weekends and spring-cleanup times get crowded, so lines and waiting trucks are normal.
