Quiet and clean. Even has a little handwash station. My goto place. Can recycle metals for free right across the street (used to do it there).

Easy and quiet self service recycling center. They have clearly labeled areas for cardboard propane tanks motor oil etc... There are usually no visible attendants so it's un-stressful. If the gates are open just drive in and unload.
