Julian C. (5/5 stars, 4 months ago): Just came back went in around noon on Saturday. Short wait time and dumped the mattress without any problems. Also FYI a Full Size mattress does fit in a Ford Focus.

Nathan Sims (3/5 stars, 2 weeks ago): Been here 3 times. Clean. Workers are polite and direct. Recycling items need to be grouped and proper so they can be recycled properly. Bring your plastics and Styrofoam in a recycling bag they will not take one off pieces of plastic and Styrofoam. I like this place I come here and will continue to come here. Just make sure you know how to prepare your items before you go so you don’t get disappointed when they may not accept it as you have it. 4/5/2025 update: It’s 9:20AM and the place isn’t open yet - open hour on google shows 9. Line of vehicles waiting. Sucks because I drove here expecting them to be open. Also often the cardboard box compactor is full so you can’t drop off. I wish I could call but I haven’t found a number. I give 3 ⭐️ because of this place’s reliability.

Judy Zanelli (3/5 stars, 2 months ago): The place is very clean.I actually enjoy going there. On 2 Occasions recently one of the employees has been extremely rude. Arrived five forty five plenty of time to do what I need to do .Nobody's was there only one attendant. He scolded me about parking then about blocking the drive as I stopped for cardboard recycle of a small amt of household recyclable a family of 3 not much. One day ordered me to take the ramp up and use that depository I complied. There was a truck with a load and no driver. I headed back down to get rid of my cardboard which was only an arm load the last thing left. As i left he told me I was blocking the driveway. I retorted and said " I could just drop this right here in the driveway but I'm kind enough to walk around the front of my car to put it in the disposal. I believe in recycling but I also believe in being treated nicely when I get here". I was not rude to him but I was very adamant.I told him he was very rude and asking.What his problem was he said well it's time to close he had 5 minutes left no Customers. Coming or going I don't think this is a way to treat a recycling customer Especially? When it was very apparent that I had a problem with one of my legs and was having pain walking. Everyone wants to go home when it's time to close.Everything was done.The entry gate was already closed when I got there so all he had to do was drive out and lock the gate behind me. What I had to say to him may have been enough but if it wasn't he needs to be corrected over this kind of behavior. Thank you for being available for recycling as there is no pick up in my neighborhood. This is my weekly effort to do my part for the Environment even though I deal with a lot of pain in my leg and back. He told ne i always break the rules. He over did it. Thank you.
