SMaRT Station - Sunnyvale, California

Wonderful service the city provides. Items I to recycle are to be sorted via these bjns, marked for plastic, glass, metal, sharps, etc. they also allow one to recycle paint, but the paint has to be liquid, not dried, and the original label needs to be on the paint. They did check my license at the gate to make sure I was a Santa Clara resident. One can also pick up compost for free at the site. There do not recycle hazardous liquids, need to go to a different place, and they also do not take trash.

Andrea is very rude. She should be fired. There’s no one on the line. She insisted we need to wait for an hour. She said she is busy but she is not. She should not
Work here. Very impolite.

The new Google art on 1390 Borregas Ave & E Caribean Dr, in front of Smart Station, is so pretty. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend that you do then take a leisure walk on Baylands Trail. Thank you Google for adding beauty to Sunnyvale ♥️🙏🏼

Love the SmaRT-Station in Sunnyvale - easy access, moderate tipps, and great direct drive to the huge dumpster hall, where you can have the cathartic experience of getting rid of all your old luggage (i.e. excess trash)!
Thanks a lot!

Having lived in Sunnyvale over 2 decades, one of the most amazing (yet seemingly unappreciated if not outright neglected) services a city offers is this SMaRT Station. If you just compare to the neighboring cities, Mountain View or Santa Clara, their citizens don't have a similar alternative.

What SMaRat Station offers is the convenience for those ( living in Sunnyvale or surrounding municipalities) to recycle their beverage bottles, from plastics to cans to bottles for 💲💲💲, rather than going into our local landfills. In addition, you can also drop off used batteries, broken or outdated electronics. The only minor complaint is they require to separate these different recyclables into PROPER bags/boxes, even if you have one that mixed up, you could be asked to come back at another day.

Another benefit is you get these pre-composted soils for planting for FREE ‼️‼️ How good is that! What other Bay Area cities offer their citizens these invaluable services.

Great recycling center, very well organized, with rules clearly posted. You have to make an appointment to come here, so it's never too crowded. Today took a lot longer than usual: I think this was a new guy attending it. They pay in cash rather than in third party redemption slips.

Needs appointment for buyback center. Friendly staff.fast service. Lane closure causes long queues some times
