Fullerton Recycling Center

Fullerton residents have several options for recycling centers, ranging from neighborhood buyback centers for cash to specialized regional facilities for hazardous materials.

1. CRV Buyback Centers (Cash for Cans & Bottles)

There are two primary local centers operated by Fullerton Recycling for those looking to redeem glass, plastic, and aluminum containers.

Fullerton Recycling #1 1101 W Commonwealth Ave Mon–Sun: 8:30 AM – 4:15 PM (Closed Tue) (714) 451-4231

Fullerton Recycling #2  2920 Yorba Linda Blvd Mon–Sat: 9:00 AM – 4:45 PM (Closed Sun) (714) 242-4088

• 
  Materials: All CRV-eligible items (Aluminum, Glass, Plastic #1–#7).

• Pro-Tip: Check their website for coupons to get a "bonus" rate on top of standard CRV pricing.

2. Household Hazardous Waste & E-Waste

Fullerton does not have a hazardous waste facility within city limits, but residents have free access to the Anaheim Collection Center.

• Location: 1071 N. Blue Gum Street, Anaheim, CA 92806

• Hours: Tue–Sat, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM (Closed holidays and during rain).

• Accepted Items: Paint, batteries, motor oil, pesticides, cleaning chemicals, and electronics (TVs, computers, etc.).

• Limits: Maximum 15 gallons or 125 pounds per vehicle, per trip.

3. Curbside Service (Republic Services)

The City of Fullerton partners with Republic Services for standard residential collection.

• Green Bin (Recycling): Place items loose (not bagged). Accepts aluminum/tin cans, glass bottles/jars, plastic containers, and clean paper/cardboard.

• Brown Bin (Green Waste): For yard trimmings and wood waste. Note that food waste recycling (SB 1383) is being integrated into this stream.

• Bulky Item Pickup: Fullerton residents are eligible for free bulky item pickups (furniture, appliances) each year. You must schedule this in advance by calling (714) 238-3300.

4. Scrap Metal & Large Loads

For non-CRV materials like copper piping, brass, or large amounts of steel, residents often use regional scrap yards:

• Main Street Fibers: Known for high-volume processing of metal and paper.

• OC Recycling (Santa Ana): A nearby alternative for diverse scrap metal and industrial recycling needs.
