RePlanet recycling centers across California closed their doors permanently, which is causing some inconvenience for customers to recycle and get their money back. While the reality is frustrating for many, the closure of the Palm Desert location is actually a breath of fresh air for nearby businesses.

The businesses surrounding the Palm Desert are a pool toy store, sandwich shop and ice cream place. Therefore, the area drives a lot of families and kids.

Stephen Little, the owner of Claro Pool Supplies, said the recycling center was attracting lots of homeless customers who brought the wrong type of business to his store.
