I was looking for a recycling center closer to me and found this little gem. Located right next to…read morea gas station, this place operates right out of a container box with one scale, huge sacks to put in the weighted recycles and one man operating this business. I had 5 big sacks of recycles and have to wait for an open parking spot to back up my car because there's no way I'm going to lug them around from the side of the street where I found parking. Anyway, besides the point, I got into an open spot, grabbed empty bins and starts putting in my cans. The guy also then started weighing and emptying them into those large sacks hanging from the side of the container door. Aside from my big loads, the process was actually very quick and I was out of there in no time. I actually got a good amount of money from all my recycles and I can't complain about that. Also, don't expect to get any help unloading your sacks and getting it emptied into the bins because this is a do it yourself place (even the old lady in front of me managed to do it herself). There's no VIP service up in here y'all. This place is literally nestled right next to the gas station store and if you're not familiar with it, you'll miss it. Come here early to avoid wait as they share parking lot with the gas station and there's about at least 4 spots closer to this business. But if you don't mind parking on the streets and lugging your recyclables then you're good. Definitely my new go to place to bring in my recyclables and you can't beat the friendly guy that works here as well.

However, Erik answered the bell and took my TV. The problem is there are very few (sometimes 1) employee and thus the frustration when no one answers. It was free for my 43" TV and I was happy to dispose of it. They give you a receipt so you cannot just drop off outside and leave the items. They are connected to https://www.ewaste411.com - I had no problem at all but I can see how others could - next time, I will make an appointment. So of course I am very happy!
