The place feels like a medium-sized rural recycling lot-pits and roll-off bins rather than a shiny building. Pull in off Kyle Sorrell Road and you'll likely see an entrance booth and a scale area where vehicles pause before and after unloading. Bins for common items like paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metals are grouped together, and there may be separate collection for construction debris or special programs run periodically. Weekends, especially during seasonal cleanups, tend to be busier and there can be a short wait to get to the drop-off area.
