Grand Central Recycling and Transfer Station

Grand Central Recycling and Transfer Station is the local recycling center people in City of Industry and nearby neighborhoods use when they need to drop off a load or clear out a garage. It's the kind of place frequented by residents, landscapers and small haulers who want to keep recyclables out of the landfill. Expect the look of an industrial yard with rows of containers and open pavement.

Drive in and pass a scale and a small entrance booth - many transfer stations charge by weight, so plan to stop again on the way out. Cars and trucks share the lanes and roll-off containers or large recycling bins are parked along the yard; the bins are often just past the booth to the right. Common materials handled at places like this include paper/cardboard, metals, glass and common plastics, and some sites also have separate drop-offs for e-waste or bulky appliances. Weekends and spring-cleanup days get backed up, so allow extra time for lines and slow vehicle movement inside the site.
