This place is the best! I drive a little farther than my local one on Terra Bella, but its totally worth it Nine times out of ten the Terra Bella people just stand there while youre dragging your bags from the car to some imaginary line and theres very little/no effort to help you once youre in there. But Dannys is so different! You drive onto the lot and youre immediately greeted by a worker with a couple bins to help you unload the stuff in your car. As soon as you open the door they start moving the stuff into the bins. They drag the bins to the machine, you get your receipt

I will never visit this place again and I've been coming here for over 10 years. I was recycling and a few bottles happen to have water that my kids left in the bottles. Instead of pouring out the water they didnt want to recycle those. They made me late for work

The staff is extremely helpful and they even help unload if they're not too busy. It's easy to get in and out of the place and there's lots of parking. However, from time to time, it's hard to get back out again because of large trucks driving through to pick up and remove recycling from the facility. Danny's is a large organization and the facility is well-managed.
