  It’s a “ok” place. Can get a little dirty, and if you hang out long enough you’ll see some strange people. I would have given it more stars, but I got a nail stuck in my tire from their parking lot. They need to keep the parking lot cleaner.

  Parking can be tight but the staff is friendly and very accommodating. I always recycle there. They do take more than cans and plastic.

  It's a very convenient place for recycling fast in and out. But I started paying attention as to what they are paying me and they have been shorting me here and there. One pound here one pound there. The 10 cent CRV not mixed in with the regular CRV plastic they short me a few pieces or not pay me at all for them like the last time I was there.

  Very easy, straightforward recycling center. The cans ended up producing about $7 per 45L bag which was pretty surprising. Highly recommend. Lots of interesting characters that come here.

  Like a well oiled machine, each of their employees move like they are on rails: smooth, knowing exactly what needs to happen next to get you in and out quickly, efficiently and safely so you can save the planet: one can, bottle or old bed frame at a time, cause that is what it is going to take! Good job and keep recycling!

  Parking lot is small. Only one way to enter and exit that fits 1 car at a time. 3 full trolley cart bins of empty water bottles = $53. Yey Gas money and Lunch

  A very good recycle place and since I started using them I've never had to wait more than 20 min from point going in to driving away. The guys are on top of things and don't goof off while working. Workers are polite but not talkative. Prices are competitive. I recommendommend. Note: I sort my recycling prior to going there

  This is an excellent recycling center. They will take items which have a refund value they will also take items which do not. They insist that you separate them but they will recycle all plastic bottles. However they will pay a different price for those that are subject to a recycling fee from those that aren't. They also provide a fair price on aluminum cans and glass bottles.

  Great place. Make sure your cans and bottles have a CRV. separate plastic#1 from plastic#2 put glass bottles in solid container just to save you time. Don’t waste your time or space saving milk containers they don’t buy them.

  Fast service, plenty of recycling bins and they follow strict Covid regulations. There's very little parking so it's best to go early or right before it closes if you have alot to recycle. They're open Mon- Sat from 8am-5pm. Closed Sunday. Highly recommend this recycling center.

  They take CRV recyclables by the pound using two large wright scales. The line is never long when I go in the morning. Use their wheeled mesh containers for large amounts. This is different from some CRV places that pay by the piece where it takes forever to put each bottle or can on a little conveyor machine.
