I had a great experience here. The staff answered all of my questions regarding where to put each type of recycle clearly with a great attitude.

What these people do too help organize and work with the recycling is wild ... I can say that I will try harder to make sure recycling is just that and will keep the trash were it is supposed to be .

Great place to take recycling! They take all types you could need. Employees are helpful when I’m not sure which bin something goes in.
