The Miramar Recycling Center serves as a drop-off center for many recyclable materials, including large or bulky items that can be recycled but cannot go in either the black trash bin or the blue recycling bin.
The Miramar Recycling Center pays a California Redemption Value (CRV) refund for all aluminum, plastic, glass and steel beverage containers for which a CRV deposit was charged. Scrap value is paid for some types of metals, newspaper and cardboard (call for pricing).
