There are very clear instructions on what goes where. The staff always has the appropriate knowledge to answer my questions. They do not accept batteries.

It's free to drop off. Just bring sorted recyclables and place in the correct bins. It can get busy though, so be prepared to possibly wait in line (in your car) if it's a weekend. But then then, the line moves quickly.

Hi Natalie, If you are on the Google maps page where you might of asked this question... Look at the to of this page, you will see a picture and a blue bar that has tabs. Underneath this bar are 3 buttons. One is a round Earth that has website title. If you click on this button it will take you to their website which lists what they take. I don't see styrofoam listed. Sorry if you already knew this, I just want to help people know that Google provides the information. It took me a while to find this button and tabs at the top of the page years ago.

The last two times I went to the Red Bridge location it has been closed. The first time I saw a sign that said all bins were full, but nothing posted that I could see on my second trip. What's happening? How can I find out when it will be open?

They take all types of paper in the same bin. They specifically call out office paper, newspaper, and magazines.

I see you guys sell recycle bins for events at $3 each. Are they also available at your drop off locations--or does one have to purchase a bunch of them?
