  Very helpful workers and volunteers, but before you go, make sure to check the website on what they accept to be recycled and what they dont accept.

• Noah Bowman

  Absolutely nice people and service.
  Very knowledgeable, personable, and friendly.
  
  I recommend checking their website for lists of items. They do not take styrofoam.
  
  Cards are preferred but they take cash too.
  
  Highly recommend, especially if you're a new home owner!

  First timer, dropped off old kitchen appliances and some electronics. Very friendly and efficient. Found out they will take various metals including old metal lawn chairs, which I'll be dropping off this week.

  They take household things that can be recycled. If you're not sure if they take something, give them a call. Friendly people. I just found out they have a place in Machesney Park, which is closer to me.

  I've volunteered many times for KNIB ... great service to utilize and volunteer for if you care even slightly about doing your tiny part in keeping our planet clean.

  Don't believe any bad reviews about this place - they are incredible. I got there at 8:58 on Sat and was 5th or 6th in line. Despite having a full trunk and back seat I was out of there by 9:08 with them helping on the unloading..

• Robert Gruhn

  Fast and easy, and were very organized. Open on Saturday mornings deserves 10 stars!

• Tsipiora Mowers

  In and out no problem. Maybe some more hours for folks who cannot make those times.

• Josh C

  In and out no problem. And regarding the other review, you don't go to your bank at 1 am when it says is closed so why would you go here when it says it's closed. Go when is open and you won't have a problem.
