Southern California Disposal and Recycling Company

Small, working recycling center in Santa Monica that locals drop off household recyclables and small loads from neighborhood cleanups. Neighbors, landlords and small businesses use it when curbside collection isn’t enough. It’s the kind of place that’s practical rather than flashy.

A modest yard with collection bays and a manned entrance booth where vehicles pull up to announce their drop-off. Commonly accepted items at places like this include paper and cardboard, glass, metals, many plastics, and often electronics or appliances as separate streams. Expect to sort materials as you go - bins and roll-off containers sit out in plain view and signs point to the different piles. Weekends and early spring cleanups tend to be the busiest times, so there can be a line to get onto the property.
