Helpful people to direct you to the right place to drop off your stuff.

Very efficient and really nice people. Glass tires and electronics can be dropped. I would like to give 5 stars but there is only one day a year in May for dropping off old paint and there is no alternate drop off. Paint oil solvents are all extremely hazardous there should be a means of disposing of these materials once a year is inadequate Update the Green Project will accept paint they mix it together for repurposing. They only accept water based paint No oil base paint

Mean Employees! The facilities poor signage and poor organization led to me being yelled at by one of their employees. I followed my Google Map that took me to a place that was labeled “Enter”. I went forward and was confused where to go. I told a guy at the electronics recycling I had cardboard. He pointed towards another part of the property so I followed his directions. Nobody stopped me and there was no signs where to go. I did find a pile of cardboard which I guessed marked the place. I got out of the truck and unloaded the small amount and was then accosted by two men. They were very upset at me and demanded I tell them where I came from. I pointed and they told me that I came from the wrong way. They did not ask me who gave me directions and don’t think they cared. It became apparent that they would get in trouble with his supervisor because I got by them. They then told me to ‘turn around’ and get out. (One of them is shouting). I asked where. And he continued to shout at me. I asked him why he was shouting. He shouted it was it was the look on my face. He said I was smirking (? I think I was squinting in the sun which turns my cheeks up) Regardless he was shouting at me and was very very angry. I got in my truck to ‘turn around’ and the men started yelling at me to back up. After I go my vehicle all straightened out I did not look back and promptly left. I learned my lesson: To avoid the rude verbally abusive Recycling Drop Off Center employees I am going to elect putting my recycling in the garbage. Much of this experience was recorded with a dash-cam although once they closed my rear door its slightly inaudible. I will gladly share this video with any of their supervisors.
