Very easy drop-off of a couple rolls of old carpet. So glad there is a recycling option rather than landfill! Drive-in entrance is off of S. 1st Ave or W. Mohave St. There wasn’t any welcoming committee or directions or anything. So I just drove up to a pile of carpet next to the building got a thumbs-up from a worker way across the other side of the yard added my carpet to the pile and left. In and out in 1 min.

Had a tour after dumping unwanted carpet. It's amazing to see how your carpet are collected and how they will recycle the carpet to better protect our environment and to save materials. They have a small but nice showroom with lots different carpets and flooring to choose from. Great customer service and very friendly staff. I recently also rental their dumpster to pull away my damaged carpet after monsoon. It came the same day and the price was reasonable.

Planet Recycling recently dropped an oil laden 12yd dumpster in my driveway. It had previously housed oil. They dropped it in my driveway and without informing me that cleanup would be my responsibility . After being assured the cleanup would take place A supervisor named Jeff basically told me to pound sand they were not going to clean it up. Now I have a Staind driveway. I would urge anyone in need of a large roll off or waste service needs to spend a little extra cash and hire a better class of organization. Buyer beware.
