Behind a supermarket in a hard to find location. I was there and literally thought it didn’t exist. No immediate parking space near the work areas so you may need to carry the cans and walk 50 feet. The worst part though. There were two of us and we brought 100 plastic and 50 aluminum. The employee proceeded to go by weight even when I repeatedly asked to be processed by CRV. Nope, pretended to not speak English and weighted everything dumped them into the processed pile. So there was no backing out. It’s not a lot of money obviously maybe 1-2 dollar difference but that’s 10-20% of the total amount. Not cool. Probably illegal
A nice, clean recycling center.
Can be hard to find. It's behind the Ralph's grocery building next to one of the semi-truck loading ramps.
If you drive south along the back road way, you can easily spot the two white 21ft containers and a bunch of stacked trash cans. If you drive north, you can easily miss it, so if you go more than halfway up, stop and u-turn.
If you hear the gas generator running, then you're near them.
Don't drive into the loading dock area where the containers are. Park in the marked stalls along the west side of the back road way. You'll have to drag all your cans and bottles over to the trash cans, load them by separated material - eg pet bottles in one, aluminium in another. Leave the caps on. Then drag the filled trash cans to the back end of the 21ft containers where they weigh and pay.
Great gem! The recycling center is behind the Ralph’s and it is a bit hidden in the back. There’s never a long wait when I go and the employees are very nice. The gentleman working helped empty my bags of cans and the process was seamless. You receive cash/coins right at the site. Definitely my go to spot for recycling.
