Oceanside Recycling Center

In Oceanside, California, recycle center options are primarily managed by Waste Management (WM) and a few specialized private centers. Depending on whether you want cash back for bottles (CRV), need to dump construction debris, or have old electronics, you’ll head to different locations.

1. The Main Hub: Waste Management Buyback Center

This is the most common destination for residents looking to recycle household items and get CRV cash.

• Services:

  • CRV Redemption: Cash for aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles.

  • E-Waste: Free drop-off for TVs, monitors, computers, and printers (Oceanside residents only).

  • Special Items: Accepts used motor oil, antifreeze, oil filters, and household batteries.
