Tricia DeLeonardis (5/5 stars, 4 weeks ago): If wishes came true our recycling facilities would be like this one! I wouldn’t mind coming here every single day! This place is the cleanest I’ve ever seen any recycling facility be. Very fast and efficient! On the scale to the dock loaded all within 30 minutes. When you scale out you can do your own axle weights if you want to then you electronically sign your autograph and your bill of lading is printed on the scale. So fast and efficient! Thank you all very much!

James Bell (J Walker) (5/5 stars, 4 months ago): I picked up some scrap paper today. They had me loaded in about 30 minutes. Easy to find in and out pretty fast. Loaded me a little bit heavy on my drives but I went with it and was ok.
