They recycle paper, cardboard, metal, plastics 1 and 2, glass, batteries, light bulbs and electronics. Have it all sorted and then just stay in your car, they will take it from you and give you back your bags/containers, if you want them back.

Had a flat screen TV that died on me. Stayed in the car, took it out and on my way. Workers helped move a couple of cars so I could exit early! Easy peasy

First time there, they can only take 50 lb a paper to be shredded, the line wasn't long so I was in and out in about 15 minutes. So if you need to get rid of important documents you don't feel like shredding at all bring it there every 4th Saturday of the month from 8 to 1 p.m.
