Made everyone wait over an hour with no explanation. Didn't payout much, I get alot more at other recycling centers. One of there employees was looking at me like he wanted to fight me for some reason. Not recommended.

Workers were very helpful in hustling me through there very quickly because they were about to close for lunch (their lunch is 1:00–1:30 p.m. ). Had cash in my hands literally in only seconds. Note that they are located in the alley behind the buildings on Lincoln Ave. There is no formal parking area but people were pulling into the driveway apron to unload. Very happy with the results.

Overall pretty good, however they do not have enough workers to handle the volume of people recycling. This maybe because of Covid-19, however had some issues in the past. The staff are quick helpful and polite, along with keeping the peace, but need more support.

I can honestly say that i am really enjoying this place. I always go 1 hour before lunch or 1 hour before they close. Perfect! They are so helpful. And FAST! I wish i came much sooner. My new spot. I truly recommend this place, stop by and give it a try. 😎🍾🍾💰🗑️🚮🔄♻️🍾🍾😎

Yes. Just be sure to have plastic and glass separated so you can just show up and empty them into the plastic trash cans they provide to weigh them.
