Recycling in Garden Grove: A Local Guide
Garden Grove has two distinct public recycling drop-off options serving different material types — one focused on California Bottle Bill CRV redemption and one on electronics and e-waste.
CRV Recycling Solutions at 8888 Chapman Ave is a state-certified beverage container redemption center open every day of the week, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM. Residents bring aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and glass bottles bearing a California CRV mark and receive their deposit refund on the spot. The site is part of a multi-location Southern California network and is consistently rated among the more convenient CRV drop-offs in Orange County.
California Electronics at 14235 Commerce Dr handles e-waste and IT asset recycling. The facility is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM–3:00 PM, with walk-in drop-offs at the white door on the side of the building. Most covered electronics — TVs, monitors, computers, phones, and cables — are accepted free of charge under California's Covered Electronic Waste program. Fees apply for printers ($25+/device), rechargeable batteries ($1.60+/lb), and ink/toner cartridges ($1+/lb). The operation is CalRecycle-certified, EPA-registered, and works with R2-certified downstream partners, making it a solid option for businesses decommissioning IT equipment as well as individual drop-offs.
