Steve Hunsader (4/5 stars, a year ago): Self serve recyclable drop off area. Although there is an attendant there from time to time don't count on it. Most drop off areas here are clearly labeled so it's hard to go wrong. If you have more TOXIC materials though they do have pamphlets there with a number to call to book an appt. Located North side of Hwy 92 at Ralston exit.

Jingyi Wu (5/5 stars, 2 years ago): Went on a Saturday afternoon. They collect electric waste batteries cardboards paints syringes medicine motor oil and coolants. Almost everything. Clear instructions.

Bob T (1/5 stars, 9 months ago): These people don't want to help or do their job. I showed up on a Thursday before the recycling gate was open to drop off some used motor oil. Their oil bin was full so I turned around and went home. When I called back the next morning the person on the phone said "I have no way of checking if it's full and i assume they empty it every day so you should be fine if you show up in the next hour or two." I know they have radios to talk to the people in the weight station and out in the transfer station facility. They just don't want to bother checking.
