Showed up 30 minutes before closing, and instead of just letting me in, they acted like I was some kind of nuisance. All I got was a bunch of vague hand gestures—no explanation, no help, just treated me like I couldn’t figure it out myself. Frustrating. ---

This place works for me because it’s close, but honestly, the prices for aluminum cans and plastic bottles could be better. Feels like they’ve got the market cornered—wouldn’t hurt to have a little more competition around here, just like with trash pickup. ---

I’d been collecting cans, bottles, and scrap metal for months, so when I finally hauled it all here, I was ready to cash in. Turns out, there’s a 100-pound limit on both plastic and aluminum, which I didn’t know. Since it was my first time and I had a lot, they said they’d need three days to process it. Other than that, though, the staff was nice and efficient—no long waits, just quick and straightforward. ---

Got in and out fast—drive-thru style, which is perfect when you’re in a hurry. Just make sure your recycling’s sorted before you pull up. I had about 15 big bags, and they still had me done in 10 minutes. Oh, and if you need a mask, they sell handmade ones for $5. Not bad.

Been bringing my cans here for years now, and the prices for aluminum, plastic, and glass have always been solid. The service is fast, too—never had to wait more than 20 minutes, and I’m usually back in my car with cash in under half an hour. I’ve sent a few people their way over the years, and I’ll keep doing it. They’ve earned my business. ---
