Hey this place is great! they currently recycle cardboard and aluminum cans. Apparently, they stopped accepting glass bottles/plastic bottles those can be recycled just down the road at the library. hope this helps!

They no longer accept glass plastic or steel cans, the igloo openings are taped over. There are new signs there. It looks like all they except now are aluminum cans, paper and cardboard which goes in the big dumpster, and clothing it looks like they added a drop box for clothes

It was convenient. I do wish the opening of the bins were bigger

Well, it's a recycling location. So it's a lot of neatly organized trash. I like it. It's clean. I think they are actually recycling things, unlike what happens to the items one places in the recycling bins your garbage collection service picks up.

No they don't.

Sorry, we do not. The county holds hazardous waste drop off a couple times a year. Or you can add kitty litter to the paint and let it dry up then just dispose of in your trash.
