We’ve all been reading about Going Green ~ It’s something which can be a simple as recycling in your own community. I’ve noticed myself that neighborhood recycling centers have sprung up all around So-Cal. Here’s a list below of local recycle centers for the city of Fullerton in northern Orange County.

Recycling Centers in Fullerton include:

• 1040 E. Bastanchury Rd., Fullerton 92835 ~ Near Stater Brothers
• 1101 W. Commonwealth Ave. Fullerton 92833
• 1885 M. Euclid St. Fullerton 92835 ~ Sunrise Village Center
• 2291 W. Malvern Ave. Fullerton, 92833 ~ Near Albertson’s
• 914 W. Orangethorpe Ave., Fullerton 92832~ Near Albertson’s
• 2929 Yorba Linda Blvd. Fullerton 92831

At home and at our real estate office we save our bottles and cans to redeem locally. As you know we all pay 5 cents to the State of CA for CRV, California Redemption Value for each bottle. Yet many of the recycling facilities will not refund your cost by the bottle if you have a large number to redeem at one time, usually in excess of 50. These places will usually pay you on the total weight of your bottles. Therefore be sure to ask ahead of time the policy in each local recycling center.

• As a note, in the past the redemption cent in the Stater Bros. parking lot at Harbor and Whittier Blvd.(in La Habra)  pays by the pound. While the center behind the Rite Aid in the Ralph’s Center  at W. Imperial (In Brea) paid by the unit bottle if counted in advance.
