Reviewers highlight the facility's acceptance of styrofoam, plastic bags, and electronic waste, noting a self-service area and helpful staff who provide information on accepted materials. Positive feedback often mentions the facility's role as a community resource for items that typically go to landfills. However, low-star reviews criticize the site for becoming disorganized and messy when piles of cardboard and styrofoam are left on the ground, particularly after rain.

Must be move in time. What a total mess. People left piles of cardboard and Styrofoam all over the ground and it's been raining. Options for recycling cardboard are very limited in the area.
Good place to bring recycling if you need a place. Takes lots of different materials including foam
Easy recycling drop off. Time your visit carefully though. If you go as classes are getting out, it could take you forever to get off campus
The only place I can find to recycle styrofoam and Electrical waste. Plenty of bins to get rid of your waste and a warehouse within walking distance for anything else
They have 2 containers for electrical waste that should not be put in trash or ordinary recycling—1st is for “anything with a cord” 2nd is, if I remember correctly, for items with batteries such as old phone batteries. So nice to know about that. Wish I had heard of this sooner. Seems like a well kept secret.
I am so appreciative of this service provided to our community. They accept items which would normally end up in landfills. There is a self-service area for commonly recycled items and also an area for speciality items. Every employee that I've met there has been extremely helpful.
