All for a good cause, but they charge $5 per item to recycle. That's a lot of money if you have multiple items ?☠️

This place is so dope. They provide a great recycling service, and a great service to the community by providing their employees with work. The people who work here are extremely polite and helpful, and honestly happy that you’re recycling and helping them earn a living. Highly recommend!

Hi everyone,First off I went to thank this organization so much for all the hard work they do everyday. They are super friendly and helpful. They took a bunch of broken headphones and computer parts. They helped me carry everything out of the car and was super simple. I asked if they needed anything from me and they said no. I thanked them for their help and that was it. One of the guys even helped me back out of there facility safely. 10/10 I recommend to anyone.

Great service. Drove up and had 4-5 people help take items out of the van. Honest and fair showing us possible charges for certain items before taking e-waste items. Highly recommended.

Great service, and an easy way to get rid of a bunch of old stuff (old printer, stereo system, space heater) in a more sustainable way than just tossing it in the trash. And big bonus that it contributes in some small way to the mission of Homeboy Industries. I never go out to Commerce, but it was actually a pretty short trip. (Only constructive suggestion is to clearly mark the dock you're supposed to pull up to. There's a small Homeboy Industries sign in the office, but you can't really see that from the street.)

We brought a wide variety of items to Homeboy this weekend for recycling, and the experience was fast, easy and pleasant. Ricky appeared quickly to take our stuff, and he was super friendly, helpful and fun to talk to. Everything was accepted, including items which can be difficult to recycle elsewhere. Do be aware that as of March 2021, this is a new location at 6433 Canning St., Commerce, CA 90040. It's a nicer building, clean and fresh, with easy parking. Commerce may sound far for some, but it's just a little ways southeast of downtown Los Angeles. With the new facilities, broad range of items accepted, and cool people like Ricky working there, it's worth the trip.

When I first arrived it was unclear where to park. I called the phone number but was dumped to voicemail. When I figured out where to park, three homeboys tripped over each other to help me. Excellent service once you figure out where you need to be.

I work at a small biotechnology company and our storage unit was filled with a bunch of unused lab equipment in various stages of disrepair. My company recently hired Homeboy Recycling to finally help us do some much needed spring cleaning and I have nothing but good things to say! We had contacted other companies prior to Homeboy Recycling who were wary and unwilling to work with us, because all our recycling was not normal office equipment (large robotic liquid handlers, microscopes, centrifuges, etc). But Homeboy Recycling didn't bat an eye; they actually had experience in helping other labs and hospitals. Shout out to Lori for talking me through all the options that were available to us; she was a major help. Ana and the rest of the team were superb, as well. The team that came out to pick up the recycling were super friendly and I loved meeting them. They worked quickly and answered all my questions. I would definitely work with (and recommend you work with) Homeboy Electronics in the future in both personal and industrial settings.

Shout out to Ricky at Homeboy Electronics Commerce location. I got there right at closing time to drop off some items, thinking I might be to late. Ricky said it was no problem and he would be happy to help me remove the items from my car. He also made sure to let me know what items they accepted at no charge ad well as the items that had a nominal fee. They do good work here .... support them if you are able.

TIP: Make sure your map says their new address. I had typed in Homeboy Industries Recycling and it took me to the old address. I even had the correct address on my calendar and when I clicked on it, it took me to the old address downtown LA. Just double check it. I wished i did. Once I got the the place, it was in a very nice industrial area. The signs were clear as to what to do. Have everything in your trunk and someone will come out to help you. In my case, I had 4 helpful gentlemen to help. They quickly assessed what I had then and there and were able to take it all! I had an Ipad, an old Mac, some old metal pans, batteries, cords, etc. I felt good coming there to have my things processed. Next time I go, I am going to bring them some Portos or something. They were so very nice and helpful. Plus its great for the environment. I heard about them from KCRW. I learned so much from them! Anyways, I highly recommend them.

I love Homeboy Industries and was excited to learn about their recycling program. They were able to come by and pick up all of the items I had, which saved me the headache of having to make multiple trips to haul the stuff. The guys were on time, friendly and professional. I will definitely use their services again. I was also happy to support a good cause while helping the environment! Thanks Homeboy!
