For recycling cardboard and styrofoam this place is the best. The security guard is super nice directs you where to park and even helps unload when the others are busy.

Every time I go there I get the same exact amount.I feel like i'm being cheated. They are also very rude and unfriendly.

They cheat people I took my brother to turn in his plastic and cans he had 8 of the 40 gallon garbage bags 4 bags of cans and 4 bags of plastic bottles he got close to $80 three weeks later I take him with the same amount and he gets only $46. I took my nephew this morning and he had to go outside and take the tops off of the bottles he had 2 40 gallon bags of plastic bottles and one bag of cans he only got $8 I know they took weight off the total for the caps even though he took them off before turning it in so from now on I'm going to do what I used to back in the day I will weigh the bags on my big scale and see what they come up with and I'm going to have them keep the receipts they give them so we can compare because my nephew had the same amount of recycling last month and got $20 .
