Recycling in La Puente: A Local Guide
La Puente, a city in the San Gabriel Valley within Los Angeles County, has two community-level CRV recycling drop-offs that let residents recover California Refund Value deposits on beverage containers. Both are open seven days a week, making it straightforward to drop off aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles without navigating a weekday-only schedule.
The La Puente Recycle Center at 17311 E Valley Blvd Suite A sits along the city's main commercial corridor and is open approximately 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM daily. It handles CRV-eligible beverage containers and is convenient for residents traveling Valley Boulevard. The second location, the Recycling Center at 1433 Valinda Ave, serves the residential streets north of Valley Blvd and is open roughly 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM daily.
California pays $0.05 per container under 24 oz and $0.10 for 24 oz and larger at certified CRV redemption centers. Neither La Puente location handles e-waste, household hazardous waste, or non-CRV recyclables — for those materials, Los Angeles County's Household Hazardous Waste program operates periodic collection events and permanent facilities across the county. Additional recycling options near La Puente are available in Pomona, South El Monte, and Montebello. Browse all locations at California recycling centers.
