We’ve made a few changes for both your safety and ours and to follow all of the new guidelines that have been put into place due to Covid-19.
  • HOURS:  MONDAY - FRIDAY, 8am-3:30pm * Open Saturday 8am-12pm - Closed Sunday. *edited Dec. 2020
  • ALL bags MUST be pre-counted with quantity clearly written on the outside of a see through bag in a permanent marker. Or we can offer you an estimate on what is in your bags, on you can donate any uncounted bags to charity.
  • No garbage. No milk.
  • All beer MUST be in beer boxes with caps removed, all debris removed from the beer box. (or any kind of box)
  • All glass MUST be in boxes. (any kind of box)
  • OPTIONAL – if you separate your cans in one bag, plastic in another bag, and then put all of your “juice boxes, plastic coolers, kool-aid jammers, energy drinks, tomato juice cans, etc” in a separate bag it will help us to process everyone a lot quicker. 
  • We are NOT accepting Clothing at this time, but will soon! *Paint and Electronics are now accepted!
  • NO CUSTOMERS are to go beyond the porch. We will be processing ONE customer at a time.  You will drive or walk in our parking lot, stay to the right near the fence there is a sign guiding you, make a large left turning loop and stop with your trunk near our WOODEN doors on our porch. Unload into our porch and wait for your refund. ANY product that we do not accept will be returned to you, any bags of refundables not counted  will be returned to you.  (Please see my fancy drawing for parking lot guidance) *You may enter the porch* Please note the Drive-thru is not optional, this is our line up for customers, even if you are walking in, or on bike, etc. you must still get in line via the drive thru and wait until your turn.
  • ALL Covid-19 regulations and guidelines will be adhered to. Please keep us safe, so we can keep you safe, and yet still be able to recycle!
  • All of the above measures have been put in place for all of our safety, and to aid in a smoother and more efficient visit to our facility.
