Thanks for offering free recycling with kind service in an area that doesn't seem to offer any free/convenient resources to do so (as an apartment dweller). May the recycling initiative continue to grow and expand across the Midwest, to include all of the globe!!

Always helpful people if you have questions. It is free to use, volunteer run, and does take donations to help with cost. I go here once a month and have never had issues.

This is a fantastic community resource, I hope more people take advantage of it. There is a slight learning curve for their process, however, the volunteers here are very helpful and they love serving.

Volunteers were very kind and helpful, easy experience. You just drive right into the building and find a parking spot. It would save you much time to sort before you head over.
