I had a really bad and unsafe experience at this recycling center. I went during the summer to do some recycling, and the place was absolutely filthy. It smelled strongly of trash and tires, there was dirty trash water all over the ground, and overall it felt completely unhygienic. I’ve been to many recycling centers before, and I’ve never seen one this dirty. What made it worse was the staff. They were unprofessional and aggressive. One worker was stacking items carelessly, piling glass items and boxes on top of each other in an unsafe way. As expected, the glass broke and smashed on the floor. Unfortunately, broken dirty glass went into my legs and inside my shoes, which caused bleeding. This wasn’t a small incident, it was serious. Even now, more than eight months later, I’m still dealing with scarring and my legs have not fully healed from what happened. To make things worse, they didn’t even have proper or clean supplies to help clean the wounds. There was no sense of safety, care, or responsibility. This place is unsafe, dirty, and poorly managed. I would strongly advise people to be careful or avoid it altogether. I’m attaching photos of my legs to show the impact this incident had on me.

def most decent place i've been to but i kinda hate how they don't tell you price until they already have your bottles/cans etc. more straightforward/honest with math than other places though at least they give receipt but wish they showed the math.

Complete unsanitary, stand in one place for too long and you'll get stuck to the floor and stung by bees

I had 5 bags of recycling and got 17 dollars and they had bad attitudes too. They will not give you all your money. Dont get fooled by a 4.7 star review because I dunno if its because im black or what but according tho their signs I should have gotten more money than 17 dollars. And I had Hella cans tbh, he took my glass and smashed it cuz it was only one BTW. He tossed is. And I was like. Okay?
