We use this facility often. We drive over from Nebraska to recycle glass. The employees are courteous, the facility is always clean and it is extremely easy to use. Today, we did a “brush run“ with some cut branches from a tree that we recently dropped. Again, it could not have been easier. We drove up on the scale, waited for the greenlight, dropped our brush, and then went back and got weighed…all for an extremely low cost! We could not be happier with Council Bluffs Recycling Center. Highly recommended.
