Adrienne of the planet (5/5 stars, 2 years ago): Easy glass drop off! Our first time visit – we drove up and parked in front of the building. Our company Design The Planet did a glass drive for Earth Day and this was the day we wanted to drop off the glass. We pulled our collected glass items out of the back of the truck and brought it to the central area. We sorted all of the glass into the areas that were specified: green blue clear other. There were even a few people there to direct us if we had questions. Someone also helped us and empty one of the containers because we did bring quite a lot of glass. They had very organized processes once bins were filled they were closed and replaced and brought into the warehouse.
