Simple enough process but the $9.91 I got for an entire trunk full of usable hinges knobs and screws was not worth the hour of my life driving to and from Westwego. Honestly it’s not even about the $$$ (if NOLA actually recycled I would’ve just done that);however if I had known it would have taken this long for this little $$$ I would have just left it all on my curb and enjoyed my morning.
