I recently used this recycling center for my household electronics. They were incredibly efficient and provided clear instructions on how to sort my items. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly making the whole process seamless. I appreciated their dedication to sustainability and the ease of drop-off. The best part? Their rates were extremely reasonable and they offer rewards for recycling. Overall I’m pleased with their service and will definitely return for future recycling needs.

Five stars for anyone who recycles cans here. Look it’s not a beautiful place to be and you won’t want to dial in for a meeting because it’s quite loud. In their defense they are quick and efficient and make a messy process a simple as possible. A trunk full of cans in my Tesla Y yields about $35

I went there Friday 3/13/2020 at 4:24pm. The cashier Sinthia D. was wearing a mask and didn't say anything. I gave her the weight slip and then she gave me the refund. The whole process she didn't say a word. When I returned home I realized she gave me $10 less. She would know she had $10 extra in her register at the end of day. When I went back to get back the $10. They denied to do it. And there is a camera they didn't even want to check for me. I believe they have done that so many times just to cheat people money. Everyone just be cautious! Stay away from this business.they are not honest.
