What People Say

Trusted by Our Neighbors

Great little spot in Patten. I bring my containers here every week — always quick, always friendly, and I always get my full deposit. Can't ask for more than that.

— Local Resident

I didn't know where to turn when I had a big pile of bottles from the holidays. They weighed everything right in front of me and paid me fairly. Will definitely be back.

— Patten Neighbor

It's nice to have somewhere close by that makes recycling easy. The staff is always helpful and the process is straightforward. A real gem in our community.
