Recycling in Culver City: A Local Guide
Culver City operates a city-backed mobile CRV redemption program in partnership with SoCal Recycling, placing two bottle-and-can buyback stops along Jefferson Boulevard. SoCal Recycling at 10772 Jefferson Blvd — in the parking lot behind Ralphs — is open Monday 8 AM–4:30 PM, Tuesday 9 AM–4 PM, and Saturday 9 AM–4 PM. SoCal Recycling at 11030 Jefferson Blvd (behind Party City) covers Thursday and Friday, 9 AM–4 PM. Both stops close for a 30-minute lunch break from 12:00–12:30 PM. Together they give residents five days per week to redeem California-deposit aluminum, glass, and plastic beverage containers for cash.
Redemption rates at program launch were aluminum $1.65/lb, #1 PET plastic $1.27/lb, and glass $0.104/lb — call (323) 662-2904 to confirm current pricing. Per-vehicle daily load limits apply: 25 lbs of aluminum, 25 lbs of plastic, and 100 lbs of glass. Containers must be empty CRV-eligible beverage bottles or cans; non-beverage packaging, cardboard, e-waste, and hazardous materials are not handled at these stops.
Culver City also runs three free community recycling hubs for blue-bin-style recyclables (plastics 1–5, aluminum and steel cans, clean cardboard, glass): Syd Kronenthal Park at 3959 McManus Ave and Lindberg Park at 11020 Ocean Drive. For electronics and hazardous waste, the city directs residents to LA County SAFE collection events.
