This is my go to recycling spot that I've been visiting for years now. There's been times where I've arrived a little late (or very close to closing time), and the workers are almost always willing to help out! And if they can't, I understand - that would be my bad for coming outside of the posted hours! But they work really hard here (especially in the summer), and I appreciate that the guy who I always see here (forgive me for not knowing him by name) - he's so nice and personable and will usually chat me up a bit while he weighs my bags. I enjoy running into him and getting a great customer experience! Thank you guys for all you do!! You know I'll be back!

Haven't gone to a recycling center in more than a decade so my recycling game has been off. I had…read morefour trash bags of empty protein bottles and was worried about waiting in line while holding all of them but that wasn't the case. Despite that, the process of dropping off my bottles was insanely smooth. All I did was approach one of the workers for some assistance, and they directed me to one of the baskets. From there they helped me sort through the different plastics I had. They weighed it, gave me a receipt, and I turned it in to the front booth for my cash. The process took around 10-15 minutes. Staff was super chill and they were even patiently assisting someone else on the side who accidentally turned in something they shouldn't have. Being immediately helped, short and smooth process, and additional help with sorting my recycling? Now that's the kind of recycling center I would come back to.

It's always clean. Cats are moving in and out fairly quick. The staff is always nice and helpful.read more

It is so conveniently located and easy to pull-in and get out. They've finally reopened under new management and I couldn't be anymore enthused to recycle again. Today was a Sunday and I was excited to see they were open till 345p. I already had recyclables separated. The guy helping me was super nice and quickly weighed my three loaded trash cans. I asked if the recycle used batteries, but they do not. Still great they take many other materials including cardboard. The cashier was very friendly as we bonded over the time change. With that said, I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Current CRV Rates: #1 Plastic $1.470 CRV Glass $0.102 Alum Cans $1.650 Highly recommended.
