Allan Co Recycling Center: Locations, Hours & CRV Info

Allan Company Recycling Center Overview

Allan Company is a California recycling business serving public customers, commercial accounts and municipal recycling programs. For walk-in visitors, the public recycling centers are the relevant service locations.

The company identifies itself as a California-certified recycler and processor at multiple branches. Public locations commonly handle CRV beverage containers, cardboard, paper and plastics, while metals and e-waste depend on the individual branch.

Allan Company Recycling Center Addresses and Phone Numbers

Use the exact branch below before entering an address into your map app. Several Allan Company locations serve similar materials, but hours, Saturday access and e-waste acceptance are not identical.

Allan Recycling Center Hours by Branch

Hours vary enough that checking only “Allan Company hours” can send you to the wrong location at the wrong time. San Diego is the clearest example: Consolidated Way has short receiving hours early in the week, while Convoy has broader weekday and Saturday hours.

Is Allan Recycling Center Open Sunday?

No regular public Allan Company branch currently lists Sunday hours. Baldwin Park, Fresno Sunland, Fresno Woodward, Glendale, Palmdale, Santa Ana, San Diego Consolidated Way and San Diego Convoy all show Sunday as closed.

What Allan Company Recycling Centers Accept

Allan Company’s public-services information says the company accepts paper, metals, plastics and e-waste, while the branch directory provides the more precise location-by-location material list. CRV beverage containers, cardboard and paper appear across all eight public recycling branches.

California CRV Redemption at Allan Company

Allan Company’s public branches list California Redemption Value beverage containers among their accepted materials. CRV is a state beverage-container refund program, not a general scrap price for every bottle, can or piece of plastic.

Which Beverage Containers Can Carry CRV?

Current California coverage includes many beverages such as beer, malt beverages, water, carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks, sports drinks, coffee and tea beverages, eligible fruit and vegetable juices, wine, distilled spirits and certain mixed alcoholic beverages.

Milk, infant formula, medical food and ordinary non-beverage food packaging are examples of products that are not made eligible merely because their container is recyclable.

How to Identify a CRV Container

Allan Company recommends checking cans and containers for California redemption wording. Common markings include “California Redemption Value,” “CA Redemption Value,” “California Cash Refund,” “CA CRV” or “CA Cash Refund.”

Per-Container Count vs Weight

California customers can request payment by count for up to 50 eligible containers of each standard material type per transaction, such as glass, aluminum, plastic and bimetal, subject to current program rules. Larger loads are generally processed by weight.

CalRecycle also publishes daily limits for large CRV loads. Current standard limits include up to 100 pounds each of aluminum and plastic beverage containers and up to 1,000 pounds of glass beverage containers per day. Loads cannot be split to bypass the daily limit.

How the Allan Company Sorting, Scale and Payment Process Works

1. Gather your recyclables. Keep CRV containers, cardboard, paper, plastics, metals and e-waste separated as much as practical.
2. Choose the correct branch. Verify its operating hours and make sure your material is listed at that location.
3. Pre-sort CRV beverage containers. Allan Company specifically advises customers to separate qualifying beverage containers from other recyclable material.
4. Use the sorting baskets. At the public recycling center, customers can use baskets to organize each material type.
5. Proceed to the scales. Materials are weighed or counted according to the applicable recycling and CRV rules.
6. Go to the cashier. After processing, visit the cashier for the applicable payment.

Cash vs Check for CRV

Allan Company states that California law requires CRV payments of $100 or more to be paid by check. Smaller qualifying CRV payments are paid in cash under its current public FAQ.

Three-Day Hold on Some Metal Payments

Allan Company also explains that qualifying non-ferrous metal transactions—including materials such as copper, copper alloys, stainless steel or scrap aluminum—can be subject to California’s three-day payment hold. That is a separate rule from standard CRV bottle-and-can redemption.

Which Allan Company Locations List E-Waste?

The current official branch directory specifically includes e-waste in the accepted-material line at five public locations.

E-waste is not shown in the current public acceptance line for Fresno Sunland, Fresno Woodward or Santa Ana. Call before taking computers, TVs, monitors or other electronics to those branches.

Protect Personal Data Before E-Waste Drop-Off

• Back up files that you still need.
• Sign out of important accounts.
• Remove SIM cards and removable storage.
• Factory-reset phones and tablets when appropriate.
• Erase computer drives or use secure destruction when sensitive data is involved.

Items to Confirm Before Bringing Them

Allan Company’s public branch listings focus on recyclable materials such as CRV beverage containers, cardboard, paper, plastics, metals and e-waste at selected branches. The listings should not be interpreted as permission to bring every form of waste.

Wet and Contaminated Material

Wet cardboard, food-contaminated paper, containers filled with liquid and mixed garbage can reduce recycling quality or make a load unsuitable. Keep materials dry, empty and separated before leaving home.

Commercial and Municipal Recycling Services

Allan Company is not limited to individual CRV customers. The company also provides commercial recycling and municipal processing services.

How to Prepare Before Visiting Allan Recycling Center

1. Choose the exact branch. Fresno and San Diego each have two public Allan Company locations.
2. Check today’s hours. Sunday is closed at all currently listed public branches, while Saturday hours vary.
3. Confirm your material. Check whether your chosen branch lists CRV, cardboard, paper, plastics, metals or e-waste.
4. Separate CRV containers. Keep California beverage containers apart from other recyclable material.
5. Flatten cardboard. Remove household trash, food, plastic wrap and loose packing material.
6. Empty bottles and cans. Do not bring containers filled with liquids or food.
7. Sort metals where practical. Call first for unusual or high-volume scrap.
8. Erase electronic data. Prepare phones, computers and storage devices before e-waste recycling.
9. Use manageable containers. Separate material into smaller boxes, bins or bags instead of one very heavy mixed load.
10. Call before a special trip. Verify large, unusual, commercial or unclear loads directly with the branch.

Low-Stress and Senior-Friendly Visit Tips

Visitors who prefer an easier unloading process can reduce lifting and sorting by preparing the load before leaving home. Smaller containers are usually easier to carry and keep different recycling streams separated.

• Write down the exact branch name and address before leaving.
• Avoid arriving close to closing time.
• Keep CRV containers separate from cardboard, paper and scrap metal.
• Use several lighter containers instead of one oversized box.
• Bring help when moving heavy metal or large boxes.
• Wear gloves when handling sharp cans, broken cardboard edges or scrap metal.
• Ask facility staff which scale or basket to use when the material type is unclear.

Final Trip Check

The most important step is choosing the correct Allan Company branch before leaving home. Confirm the branch address, today’s operating hours and the materials shown for that location, especially when your load includes e-waste, metals or a large quantity of recyclables.

For CRV redemption, keep qualifying beverage containers empty and separated from non-CRV material. Flatten cardboard, protect personal data on electronics and call the branch before bringing anything unusual, oversized, hazardous or commercial in scale.
