Incredibly smooth process from start to finish. There is zero confusion here. You just separate your plastics, glass, and aluminum, drop them off, and get moving. Easily the most efficient recycling spot around!!

YOU CAME TO RECYCLE, YOUR MATERIALS WERE PROCESSED, AND YOU WERE HANDED THE CORRECT CASH IMMEDIATELY. OUR STAFF EVEN ASKED YOU TO STEP ONTO THE STEP SO YOU COULD REACH PERFECTLY AND SIGN. EXPECTING A CUSTOMER SERVICE PERFORMANCE AT A BUSY RECYCLING WINDOW IS UNREALISTIC. WE FOCUS ON HONESTY, SAFETY, AND SPEED, AND DAJES WILL KEEP LEAVING CUSTOMERS SATISFIED. THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING, DAJES RECYCLING. USTED VINO A RECICLAR, SUS MATERIALES FUERON PROCESADOS Y SE LE ENTREGÓ EL DINERO EN EFECTIVO CORRECTO DE INMEDIATO. NUESTRO PERSONAL INCLUSO LE INDICÓ QUE SE SUBIERA AL ESCALÓN PARA QUE PUDIERA ALCANZAR PERFECTAMENTE Y FIRMAR. ESPERAR UN ESPECTÁCULO DE SERVICIO AL CLIENTE EN UNA VENTANILLA DE RECICLAJE OCUPADA NO ES REALISTA. NOS ENFOCAMOS EN LA HONESTIDAD, LA SEGURIDAD Y LA RAPIDEZ, Y DAJES SEGUIRÁ DEJANDO SATISFECHOS A LOS CLIENTES. GRACIAS POR SU COMPRENSIÓN, DAJES RECYCLING.
