    I love this place so much that I went twice! The first time was a first Thursday of the month. I took my 6 year old to tour the recycling center. Not only did he learn about trash and how it gets sorted, we got a tour of the facility. We came back for Earth day. On Earth day, they gave out free lunch (tamales or empanadas but you have to register with them. There was a petting zoo and multiply activities to do (make paper from recycle paper), make a birds nest with a tissue roll.

    This place is okay for recycling cans. Probably slightly more efficient than those guys who run a recycling center as a single person as the lines there are usually longer. Pulled up the the area for recycle and waited until someone told me what to do. Then was told to pull up another 10 ft to the recycling area. The guy who told me to pull up was at the paint recycling and battery recycling area so I needed to wait for another person. The good news is now I know where to bring batteries and paint to recycle. Person in that line also had to wait a couple minutes as there is no one there to save her on. Also it is more like self service, 70 yr old lady unloaded all her own recycling, some paint and other household stuff. Now the guy comes out for the cans and tells me to place my items in the blue bins. I drop it off, it gets weighed and I get my money. The main difference here from say some of the other really bulk recycling I've been to is you need to load it into the trash cans yourself. The guys will just weigh it for you. In union city those guys took everything out of the car for me and placed my containers back. Tl:dr, good place to bring recycle but it is semi self serve

    Relatively convenient place to drop off all sorts of waste, including old electronics, appliances, paint, cardboard, metal, etc. I haven't yet had a super long wait experience like some other reviewers, but maybe I just go at some random / odd times, not sure.

    The center is comprised of a Transfer Station and Public Recycling Center. I dropped off a mattress and box springs at the Transfer Station on a Sunday afternoon with no wait and no fees. Saturday was much busier with 20+ vehicles waiting to drop off items. Bottom line: Would definitely come back here to ensure my household items are recycled / disposed of properly.

    silly long wait.

    Great for your recycling needs, but as of this writing, they are no longer accepting CRV buy-backs.

    Easy peezy straight forward dump station. Pull up, pay and dump. Hassle free service. Pricing was fair for our needs at the time.

    Be sure to arrive at least 15 minutes before they close. They don't stay open until the closing time stated on their website.

    I also had no idea that compost got so hot but you could literally see steam rising from the top of the pile.
