San Jacinto Recycling Center
Recycling Center in San Jacinto, California
About This Location
San Jacinto Recycling Center at 658 W Esplanade Ave has operated as a full-service metal recycling facility since 1992. It takes approved copper, aluminum, steel, iron, brass and other recyclable metals, vehicle batteries, and certain household and commercial appliances that contain recyclable metal. Staff help unload approved materials, and the yard runs certified vehicle scales used for DMV weight documentation. One honest caveat worth knowing before you load up: per its own website, the center does not currently pay for scrap metal, so this is a drop-off/disposal service rather than a buy-back yard.
