Buy Back Recycling

Sell your recyclables at The Buyback!

We're open Tuesday through Sunday between
9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Sell your recyclables at CCC's BUYBACK, located on the corner of Second and Gilman Streets in Berkeley . It's not only rewarding, but it's good for the environment! Here is how it works:

1. See Materials Prep to learn how to prepare your materials. Please prepare materials before you arrive at the buyback.

2. Enter the Buyback from Second Street and wait in line by the stop sign.

3. A scale aide will direct you to the buyback scales for off-loading MIXED LOADS. Single material bulk loads will be directed to a forklift bin for off-loading.
