Lakeside Recycling

This place has been super hard to contact. Since COVID I understand they have been closed but as things slowly re-open I can't seem to get a hold of anyone to see if they're accepting recycling from the public.

I've tried to call and email from their website and have gotten no response from them.

Prior to COVID this place was great. Friendly workers and easy to drop of recycling.

Closed due Covid19. Putting 3 stars bc I guess is County or state decision not theirs.

Ok! Monday it was!

Got here during their lunch. When they open, you just go inside, grab a cart with available bins & sort out your recycle. The bins are very dirty so I suggest using gloves & bringing hand sanitizer.

Plastic bottles: They advice removing the caps from the bottles. You just take them off & keep them in the bin with the bottles. No biggie.

Glass bottles: They don't usually accept them. Since it was my first time, I didn't know this. Instead they put glass in the bigger containers, raised & moved around forklifts.

The workers are quite friendly

It's ok lots of homeless people on the other side of the road and there was a fight so I left. They take lunch@ 1145-1230. I will go back.

I had been going here off and on for years at their original location off 5th street and only stopped when 20/20 and then replanet came around because they were closer. Now that replanet is no more, i looked them up again and found them at their new and larger location. Same set up, just a little different. The homeless encampment may scare off some, but they're harmless. The folks working there were very helpful and answered any questions i had with zero attitude. I was told that leaving the caps on the plastic bottles was fine for this visit but to please make sure to remove them from now

They are a CA certified recycling center, fast and friendly service. I didn't know about them until they moved over to they're new location on 800 77th Ave.
it's a decent clean environment.
Can't blame them for "they're neighbors" right across from them.

Address no longer opened.

Relocated to 800 77th Ave, Oakland. Yelp says I need to write longer. The recycling here is painless. Just bring your cans, bottles and get paid by the pound.

None of that count the cans nonsense.

Friendly staff and they pay you in cash on the spot.

Liars! Crooks! They try to scam your money and take advantage of those who doesn't speak perfect English!! Do not come here!!

My grandma(don't know English) brought 2 big bag of bottles here to sell, unluckily but she got scammed. She called my mother over then my mother called me. I arrive went in to talk to him, but the Mexican denied that he scammed her. This incident happened before, but luckily she got the money back. This time they scamming hard. 2 big bag was count as 1 1/4 bag. The persons who was working at the weight station told us to go to the office and look for upper management (He know that upper management left early) when we got to the office there were only two cashier working. She told us that

I love this place. Not quite like the recycling joint I am used to but they pay fair, and are pretty clean. On the other hand the staff was pleasant and kind of helpful but a lot of language barriers. It was confusing where to take what recyclables (glass vs plastic) but otherwise a positive experience. Have told everyone I know and will continue to spread the word about this place. WARNING! They don't really want you separating your items on property so come prepared. Also, parking can be horrible. Depending on when you arrive. Plastic and aluminum are recycled on the backside and glass

Found this place on yelp my husband and i went hw loved it it was the more cleaner ones he said it took longer becauae that was are first time there but so far it was good

I like this place I wish sometimes I can recycle my cans, and glass at the same place. I have lug my heavy glass bottles around the corner to recycle.

The people are nice they are the only reason I keep coming back.

This was my first time at this recycling center. Make sure that your bottles cans and plastics are separated before you get here. I was helped by a couple of people to help me separate my recycling. As I was getting closer to the weigh station the line was growing. I guess this is a popular place to recycle. I definitely will come back.

Very helpful staff. I was running late for work, and was accommodated in order to make it out of there promptly! If you're looking for very friendly staff that operate in a very professional manner. This is the place!

I use to love it but now theres these younger guys there in the cans & plastics and its jus not the same... I miss my ol´ amigo where he @?
