I was pleasantly surprised by my experience. I didn't encounter the shady, suspicious experience I get when I go to certain places in the City. The price I was paid for 20# of cans rivaled what some places in the city only pay for 50# plus. A fair deal. I will definitely bring recyclables back here again.
