Quick and easy place to recycle

I made my first donation yesterday at CHaRM, It was very easy to book an appointment and the description of the site ensured that I packed my car in the order of the drop-off tents/trucks. There were SO many volunteers/workers who helped unload at each site. i will definitely donate on a regular basis now.

CHaRM has fundamentally changed how my household handles materials - which is wonderful because I'd become very disenchanted with single-stream curbside recycling system. Now I feel like I can participate again and do some good (that actually gets done). Great to feel like we are doing our part!

Excellent setup - well managed / organized. Booked an appointment, showed up on time, was in and out in 5 minutes. They were fully staffed, people available to help take heavy things. Super fast, easy, and friendly. Great resource.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Does CHaRM take old nail polish still in the bottle? Do I need to get the polish out first? I emailed them directly but never received a response.

Does this location accept furniture? Specifically, I might need to get rid of an armoire.

Eric Daigrepont | Oct 3, 2022
Emily A | Oct 12, 2022

I don't think so. Better to try Goodwill or your local Buy Nothing group.

I often bring items to CHaRM. I have a lot of old organizers/book calendars from previous years. I didn't want to throw them away because it may contain some personal info. Can I recycle them there or drop them off for shredding?

Kai Porter | Oct 3, 2022
Sharon Opolis | Oct 3, 2022

There is shredding available for 50 cents per pound of paper.

Do you recycle styrofoam packaging? I have 2 pieces 12" x 22" x 50".

Michael Seneadza | Apr 6, 2022

Yes, they do. They’ll want you to remove any tape from the styrofoam before dropping it off.
