Do you have a question that we haven't answered? Please fill out the form below and a representative will contact you.
Step 1: Look for signs directing you to the recycling area
Step 2: Upon reaching the recycling area our employees will evaluate your recyclables and direct you to the small scale or drive-on scale.
We emphasize customer service and will help unload materials, with the exception of busy days where we will assist you on a first come first serve basis. We try our best to help everyone in a timely manner. However, please ask for assistance with heavy materials or those that require a forklift. We thank you for your patience.
Small Scale Items:
- Each material is weighed separtely and recorded on a sales slip by one of our employees and will be given to you
- Once your materials have been weighed, please move your car to one of our parking areas
Drive-on Scale Items:
- Each material is weighed separately
- Upon driving onto the scale your gross weight will be recorded by an employee in the scale office and you will be notified when you can pull forward
- One of our employees will direct you to the location where you materials will be unloaded. Please let one of our employees know if you need assistance.
- Return back to the drive-on scale so that your tare weigh (also know as light weight) can be recorded by the scale office employee
- This process will be repeated if you have several large weight items or you may be re-routed to the small scale if the items you have dictate a small scale should be used for the most accurate weight (see small scale items section for details)
- Once your materials have been weighed, please move your car to one of our parking areas
Step 3: Proceed to the scale office window for payment. If you had materials weighed on the small scale, please remember to bring your sales receipt with you
