Their measuring scale is placed out in public view and does provide accurate measurements. Only wish they would have set the scale to zero with the empty weighing bin on so no subtraction and uncertainty of the actual weight of the bin needed. The place is dirty with sticky ground as expected in recycling centers. One star is purposely removed because it did take such extra time to wait in line (even on weekdays) also because they do completely shut down their FULL operation for lunch from 1 to 130PM and we, thus, the customers all had to stand around and patiently wait for their normal returns:( Nevertheless, we will come back again because they're HONEST!!

Man said he was going based off what was in the computer. After seeing the price difference I wanted to separate the copper to make a couple extra dollars since I had it mixed. I asked the man handling the transactions that told me a different price on the copper if he can lend me some clippers and he said he cant let me borrow them yet he had my ID and I was going to do it right in front of him. Words cant explain how frustrated I was. I ended up taking a loss at the end of the day and affected me mentally due to financial struggles.

I am happy to do my part in recycling responsibly. I would recommend getting rid of any unnecessary parts when you bring the recyclable items (e.g., boxes, packaging) that are regular trash because everything is measured by weight. I was able to recycle a bunch of random electronics that can't be reused. I will be back with my laptops and CDs/VHS next! Thanks to the staff here for helping us with our seasonal purging projects!
